Quote:
"It is a joke," Gossage said then. "The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it. I'll tell you what has happened, these guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went, and they thought they figured the f---ing game out. They don't know s---."


Shots fired at Theo!

I'm sorry you got old, Werth.

All the teams led by the super nerds are winning World Series. Don't know what to tell him.

I enjoy many of the stats, but Werth is right in thinking everything cannot be quantified. In the end it's still humans out there.

He owes those nerds big time for his contract, too. A huge part of his value was the high OBP.


Still, Id be open to this debate if he said anything other than NERDS. Tell me why advanced stats suck, not just that you dont like them.

It's not that they suck, its just that to swear by them and only them is a disservice IMO. Yes OB% is important. Yes HRs are important. Yes- in context- RBIs and starting pitcher W-L records are important. Look at everything as a whole and don't ignore or be blinded by any one number.

That would be fine if that's what Worth said.

It's a bad look when people get angry over metrics. It's just information.

Sabermetrics can't be everything. It's an important tool but there are MANY other things to consider.
