This. Analytics are necessary, but over use (information overload) of analytics is ruining the game. Same thing when Boone pulled Cole to go to Lou Trevino. Its much easier to defend keeping Wheeler / Cole in in those situations than having to explain pulling your workhorse early when it inevitably backfires.
These comments are really funny when the Astros are at the forefront of the analytics movement. Pretty much perfectly sums up sports fans mindsets, when it works nobody says a word and when it doesn't the blame is all on analytics
I remember the good ole days when Dusty used to burn out all his starting pitchers by end of August.
Ya that’s the regular season I’m sure he has adapted.
Your exactly right they are at the forefront of analytics and at the forefront of how to use analytics.
I will give you that, they're much better about how to apply analytics than most team. Forget the name of it, but there was a good book about it a few years ago
Like I said, analytics are necessary. The way the Yankees do it (i.e. relief pitcher “lanes”) doesn’t work, clearly.
Haha he does, if he was clean shaven he would look the same, I don’t think he cares about his appearance that much now being a family guy.
So do Red Sox fans.
Of course, I’m not a big Cashman but having Jeter be a GM would be very dumb, having ownership would be more ideal.
I think he looks pretty damn good for 48. Jeter is the one with the chrome dome and the dark beard.
