@IainMacBets@ck99600 If the performance is going to be the same why not? A bad team that is positive is more fun to watch than a bad team that is morose.
@StatsProfessor@dwest___ The Rangers probably don't make the playoffs without Rusty Greer or Mark McLemore or Ken Hill either. Winning matters right? They're better candidates too?
@integratedman@KeeganMatheson If Vlad wanted to hide, or they wanted to force Vlad to hide, they've had plausible injury explanations for months. Unless you think "concussions are bad" is a babying position.
@mariahali94@TheNBACentel Why does LeBron get penalized for making the finals and losing more than Jordan not even making the finals?
Don't get me wrong, Jordan's record is still more impressive but people act like it would be more impressive if LeBron was 4-4 in Finals instead of 4-6. That's silly.
@YankeesFanEarl Man, remember when the "problem" with the analytics crowd was they didn't care about defense and just wanted fat guys to take walks? Crazy reversal.
@GaryHPhillips Roy Campanella? Come on. Not going to add Monte Irvin's and his 32.1 WAR? There's disingenuousness and then there's "Don Mattingly has 0.6 WAR more than a guy who lost MLB seasons to the colour line and 0.3 more than the guy who missed three years to WW2."
@UncleAyyy@bnicholsonsmith Anyone who says they wouldn't have used Hoffman and Bassitt is lying. Anyone who says Fluharty and/or Fisher were obvious better choices than the starters is lying.
