Sooooooo, does anyone still think ANALYTICS is a fraud, a fad, or just hype?

The nerds have taken over.

They even used analytics to predict that George would be the MVP of the 2017 World Series back in 2014!!!

Trading for Justin Verlander wasn't analytics. Houston is loaded.

Only uneducated nikkas don't see the good in analytics. I used that shyt in multiple facets of life, it's just my way of thinking.

 

[Stinky Diver]

Btw, where's Billy beanes championship at?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Literally everyone is using it. It's like asking if breaking down video is just a fad and we're going to go back to getting everything from word-of-mouth.

I don't think any real fan of the sport would discount the importance of analytics. For me, I just hate the fact that people who don't know the sport well enough to evaluate players and situations with the eye test can act informed by merely rattling off numbers. Analytics in the hands of the uninformed are useless.

[RoGethoes]

Better than theColi box score crew.



Takes a bit more work to look up advanced stats

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Being anti-analytics is basically being anti-intellectual.

What’s wrong with using stats and numbers to improve your team?
