Absolutely right. Yet all of the trolls screaming “he cares about stats and not winning” somehow are nowhere to be seen when it is time to say “he...
If you think 6th man on a really good team in a few years (ie at 22-23 years old) is a bad thing or a sign of someone who belongs in China, you...
The Rockets, who are 5-3.
This is incredibly stupid take. “Bloggers and tweeters” are in absolutely every city, and in most there is also critical media and sports talk,...
The ones who came out strong for a few games or even a few years and then regressed tended to rely on aggressive athleticism and “making things...
Jalen scores 20: “too inefficient, not winning basketball” Jalen draws defenders and passes: “just riding coattails” Its almost like the poster...
It is legitimately funny to read the board with HeyNow on ignore. I see only 20 posts in a row of “Yanier Diaz was not given equal opportunity”...
Hard to argue with such a compelling and fact-based argument. I am not sure which stats would be unadvanced enough for you. Batting average? OK,...

Joe Espada gives them logical continuity to avoid the criticism of not renewing the media darling.
When do we spread the “unproven theory that Jeff Passan molests children”?
To the Astros? Of course it could happen. But not until the Phillies series. MLB wants that rematch, but they want the East coast team to win....
Repeatedly telling me I am wrong about wins being the worst major stat without saying what stat you think is worse, then saying “I’m ending this”...
Read again. I didn’t start the thread, and I have never said anything about manipulation. I responded to Buck and said it was the worst of the...
Given that baseball is a game partially defined by its love of statistics, and that wins remain a highly cited and hallowed statistic, the fact...
Except for wins. They are the worst of the major stats - certainly for this era of baseball. Other than “your team hit well, you were on the mound...
I know this is correct, but it is absurd that the scorer cannot use that same discretion to select a pitcher who threw 4 shutout innings and left...
