The fanbase is ever evolving. 10 years ago the overwhelming majority would support going with your gut and using all the outdated managing practices...but today, more and more people seem to be supporting the math behind the decisions more and more.

 

I just don't think it's true. Guys like us who have found our way to learn about analytics are still few and far between. The general fanbase is still regurgitating whatever the trash commenters are saying.

The Mets are in the stone age. Their pitching coach is literally 82 years old and is an improvement over his predecessor! They have like four aces who all throw their worst pitches the most (except deGrom). Look at their catcher lol. If you sign Wheeler, you're getting an ace.

Yikes? I blame both the ump and the catcher. Yes, the ump should be better...much better. But that f***ing catcher is a wizard at reverse framing.

I'm not so sure about that if he signs in Toronto...

Apparently a save situation wasn't enough for Hader. He decided to make things interesting, giving up the tying run, loading the bases with no one out, and then striking out the side. Just because.

Is Ryan Yarbrough an ace?

 

This feels a lot like Phil Hughes’ big breakout season, but I hope he finds a way to keep it up.

Man, I can't believe the Angels continue to roll out Pujols in the lineup every day. The guy's atrocious and he's always batting 5th or 6th in the lineup so he's always ruining any momentum that club might be having offensively. If one looks at his numbers, it's clear he's a bum, but I guess because he's a "big name" they feel the need to keep on rolling him out there.

 

So dumb.

Look at this f***ing strike zone.

 

 

I mean, f*** that kid for that batting stance. And I'm pretty sure just because he's standing like that it doesn't automatically make the strike zone disappear so whoever told him to do that is an idiot.

It technically might, but the umpire can basically use his discretion. The kid is bouncing up and down and all over the place, so he could really make it just about anything he wanted to. If I'm the pitcher though, and the ump does call them balls, the next pitch is going to be my best fastball located a little right of the plate. If you're going to walk with that nonsense, you're going to earn it.

Lol Gardner. I tend to think that umps need thicker skin, but having someone act like that SHOULD get them thrown out.

But “He didn’t even say anything! How can they throw him out for that!” Even though he’s CLEARLY doing it to mock the Umpires.

 

Yankees fans are clueless

What does his HOF status have to do with his ability as a player today?
