Not necessarily. I think the point Brian made about people are subject matter experts in terms of the intricacies. There are plenty of examples in every life where I don't understand how something works but I can analyze that if it's helpful or not helpful tom e.

Exactly?

Are you kidding?

He doesn't even know how to apply them correctly.

He literally just regurgitates what he reads on fangraphs.

Its hard to understand, that's why I try to always point out that its inexact and not magic.

Bernstein believes they are magic.

Then you are just assuming that they are correct because, here I'm going to do it, "really smart people" told you it is correct.

Without knowing the factors, it would seem impossible to determine a causation vs. correlation analysis.

That's fair. I can't put up an argument to that except to say that I feel it is something that the vast majority of people do.

Saber stats are very interesting to me and deserve to be a part of the analysis when discussing a player. This point does not belittle the value of old fashioned scouting.

I have no significant thoughts about Beano Cook's death and I'm going to say I'll pray for him but I'm not really going to do it.

Right now, they're both stating shitty imaginary Cubs fan thoughts.

Nice way to misrepresent fans and incorrectly paint them as idiots. Cubs fans are well aware why they suck. They are wondering why they have to suck so much. Whatever.

Whatever. Cubs and Hawks fans get more broad brushstrokes from Dan than his bathroom wall.

Their thoughts on female basketball players (an female athletes in general) have not been what you would call enlightened. But I suppose that boner pills and strip clubs pay the bills so I'm not sure why I expected otherwise.
