I was listening to MLB radio on XM. This was the take: Agree with the old guy, hard time communicating with younger guys. He does speak Spanish, so helpful
However, guys on MLB are saying TLR was analytics before there was "analytics". Positioned defense better than the Rays do now. Took into account many things analytics do now.
So, yes, old guy, but if what I am hearing is true and for whatever it is worth, he is not old school when it comes to player and in game decisions...
Not the decision I would have made, but just because old, doesn't mean old school in game/player assessment mentality.
