DON'T. MENTION. WINS. AND. LOSSES.

And JORR claims he never calls in to sports talk radio.

I just caught five minutes of this nitwit bernstein and I had to PTFB. I don't know about you, but I watch sports to see great athletes do great things. There's this modern fan, particularly in baseball, forged in a cauldron of statistics and fantasy games, who has this desire to diminish the player and elevate management. I have never turned on a game and said to myself, "I'm really excited to see Andrew Friedman's shift on Papi here!" But I think that's the way bernstein (and many others) view the game. They think you actually win games with computers. Because, while they could never turn around a 95 mph fastball, they certainly can look at a spreadsheet. And they can draw the wrong conclusions too. Brian Kenny spouts the same bullshit that bernstein does, only to be ridiculed by the actual big leaguers who work with him.

Reading? You read on the show?

Because, while they could never turn around a 95 mph fastball

Anyone who calls to voice an opinion gets shot down before they can state what is on their mind.
The only things that count are arcane statistics.
This, to me, is extremely boring radio.
I thought the point of talk radio was for listeners to express opinions.
I guess I am wrong.

You know nobody thinks this, stop being dense. You just don't like the "eggheads" infringing on "your" turf.

What if I told you that feminists loved fangraphs?

Of course they think that.

In fact, I find it amusing that guys like you and bernstein believe you have staked out some intellectual high ground.

The apex of this modern type of "thought" is encapsulated by the suggestion of a trade of Chris Sale for Theo Epstein with the modern fan believing the team that got Sale was on the short end.

No, they don't. Not a single person believes that the difference between 80 and 85 wins is a few extra processor cores or hyperthreading, nor anything of the sort.

Well, Bernstein feels that way, of course. But as for me I don't believe so, it just appears that way because of the ridiculous things your hatred of numbers and math cause you to say.

Someone somewhere makes some asinine trade proposition, and they become the bannerman for all of SABR-minded fans everywhere.

Nice literal reading!

They think you actually win games with computers.

Read that sentence a couple more times, Pythagoras, you tell me whether its structure and word choice imply literal meaning.

dan really really really read his ass off with serious voice for the fangraphs article on arrieta.

So what was the takeaway from the article? That the numbers show Jake is super great or that he's trending downward? I know what the eye test shows .

The sense I got was that hitters (particularly left-handed hitters) have been able to elevate the ball and hit it harder more often this year--or some period--versus other periods of sustained success. Looking at Pitch FX, they noticed that Jake's slider is losing some of its bite, as well as some other pitch-movement issues, and then looked to a frame-by-frame look at his mechanics from previous success and times that he's struggled, and noted that he's closing himself off more and dipping further down on his drive leg, which could explain the pitch movement issues.

:lol:

I just can't get over the Jewishness of this show w Bernsie and Rozner. Bridgewater's injury has turned into discussions about how prescription pain meds make Barry nauseated, and Bernstein's ice pack gave him freezer burn.

A couple days ago, they were whining about how messy PBJ sandwiches are. Now they are dissecting the Fifth amendment.
