Dumbshtein analytics has ruined baseball.

Flat out stupid

clicked on cf...saw j post here...knew hed whine about 'analytics'

the game is forever ruined because one manager made a move 0 people agreed with. rip baseball.

Kevin Cash may have just blown the Rays' chance of getting to Game 7.

That was the most incredibly stupid move by a manager I have ever seen in a WS!  Dave Roberts got Dave Roberts'd

[Don Ho]

What was also shocking was the last two batters for TB took strike 3 looking.  Unreal, those last three batters wanted out of Arlington so bad.

and I equally knew that you'd be here defending the idiocy of bookworms taking over a sport.

there is not a single soul defending the move...its just such a straw man argument to dismiss "analytics" because one move in one game one manager made was dumb. roberts managed g5/6 perfectly. the dodgers roster construction was flawless. im sure this all done with a couple of old dudes in the back room smoking cigars and using their guts.

Blahhhh blah blah

SOMETIMES analytics have a place. But that horseshtein with how managers are told to handle pitchers? No. Oh he's going to face a lineup for the third time? The horror. Maybe for some guys you lift them. But when you have your top starters dealing? Or shtein anyone who is throwing a good game...leave them in.

the data for SP's facing hitters a 3rd time is there. you can choose to ignore it or not, but the facts bear out. does that mean that pitchers must *always* come out after facing 18 batters? no.

in this particular case, it was evident snell was dealing. it was stupid to take him out. most of the time its the right and obvious move to make. for this game, didnt take a math whiz to figure out what to do. cash did the wrong thing. his team lost, as it shouldve.

The Dodgers played 18 postseason games. Every one of them was started by a pitcher who has spent his entire professional career in the LA organization.

Gonsolin, who started two games in the World Series, was taken in the 9th round of the Moniak draft.

Now I'm going to really puke.

As Hawaii has always been a big Dodgers market been watching/following this organization for decades (no, not as far back as Brooklyn) but they have been masterful at home grown talent.  Mind boggling it's been 33 years for this franchise.  Same issue in the 70's, that team was loaded - Garvey, Baker, Cey, Lopes, Russell, Yeager, Sutton, etc.  Only won in '81 during two season strike year.

76yr Ole Tony LaRussa is the new manager of the White Sox

[ice grillin you]

lol wtf

Tony La Russa has managed in 2.3 percent of all games in MLB History.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The Milwaukee reliever won the ROY. Bohm was second.

And news comes out Pops LaRussa was pinched for another DUI in Feb.

So the BoSox and Tigers hires cheaters and the ChiSox hire an 80yr old drunk.
