Whether it's in the lineup, on the mound, or in the field, the Rays continue to win doing "Rays things" 📊

Tons of respect for the work you’ve done covering a sport that has experienced its own evolution. Take the forward pass for instance. The QB specifically became glorified & of paramount importance because of that evolution. How about the spread offense? I don’t hear anyone clamoring for “60 minutes of ground and pound” these days. If there are people BEGGING for the wishbone & punts on
4th & 1 these days I don’t hear em’. Gloves that are stickier than the spider tack baseball players use aren’t part of the game so receivers can hold a block downfield alongside a fullback that no longer exists. Michael Vick came along & revolutionized the way the QB position was played & defended. Just like Jacob Misiorowski is throwing 106MPH & making it that much tougher to get a bunt down against him. Games change whether we like it or not. I think we can both agree that executing fundamentals of the games is foundational to success. Players will evolve to perform in ways that lead to trends of compensation. Nobody is paying for sac bunts but they pay for HR’s. Nobody is paying a QB to hand it of 35 times but an Air Raider gets breaded up before he ever takes an NFL snap. The game changes.

Next time I’m struggling at work or as a parent I’m just gonna tell everyone we need to get the analytics out of here

It's not analytical baseball or old school baseball. If you can only understand one side, that's a big problem. This age of baseball is about blending the two together. Analytics are a tool to help maximize a roster, identify strengths and weaknesses in a player without bias or emotion. If used correctly, it's a tool to help player performance. Once the game begins, it's about “old school" baseball. Preventing runs defensively/pitching and scoring runs on offense. It's that simple. It's about the fundamentals of the game. Finding a way as a player that day to win every at-bat I take or pitch I throw. Days when I free great, days when I feel terrible. Understanding what it takes physically and mentally to do that is just as important as understanding spin rate, launch angle, wOBA, OPS+, etc.

Sometimes you make your pitch and guy just puts a better swing on it just gotta tip your cap

[. @HalToHell]

Certain people will look at this and say the lineup with first ballot Hall of Famers simply isn’t good enough instead of admitting that baseball, in small samples, is incredibly random
