@YankeesFiles Honestly one of the most impressive innings Cam has thrown as a big leaguer. Playoffs, entire team is completely melting down around him and he doesn’t fume on the mound or go to pieces. He just gets the outs, minimizes the damage, and sits down.
@YankeesFiles Gotta rock to be John Schreiber right now. Cut by a bad team during a decent season and immediately signed at the last possible moment by a really good playoff team and slotting into an important role and getting playoff checks and celebrations. Hell yeah.
@YankeesFiles Which is understandable! Getting absolutely waxed by your biggest rival sucks! And getting a microphone shoved in your face immediately after has to be a miserable experience! Especially for a fiery guy like Contreras. But it does seem silly to lash out against “numbers.” Lol
@YankeesFiles@tipping_pitches “Analytics” has become a straw man for old color commentators to say “oLd BaSeBaLl BeTtEr” and for current players to avoid saying “yeah we didn’t do our job.”
@YankeesFiles One of my favorite @tipping_pitches things from a year or so ago was that people need to specify what they mean when they bitch about “analytics”. Cause “analytics” say this Red Sox team wasn’t very good over the last 6 weeks. So do old school stats like “runs scored”.
