Every AW stat nerd just got a boner.

Working in baseball would ruin baseball for most fans.

Seems like a waste of time to hire someone whose work will be ignored.

Yes they are creating these positions and paying people money to ignore the actual information they will be providing.

Well that doesn't sound good at all!

[Stradling]

I think the Scioscia doesn't rely on stats or believe in stats is the biggest AW FACT of all of them. Oh and by AW FACT I mean not really a fact but something people tell themselves on here to get a simple answer for a difficult question.

You're right. And it's right there next to "reporters fabricate quotes for page clicks and therefore the persistent narrative that Scioscia has more power than any manager and exercised it to diminish Dipoto is a total lie".

[Homebrewer]

Jerry Dipoto will never get another job as a GM.

Well, maybe he will someday, but not for a long, long, time..because, really, who is going to hire some dude who quit.

If this is true, then I'm in.

There was basically one guy that was singing the Dipoto would never get a GM job song.

The Mariners.  Whether or not he got another job is irrelevant.  The fact is that he "quit."  Quit is not a pretty word, and it's not a word you wants to associate with sports.  In my mind getting "fired" is better, at least in most cases you tried your best, but it wasn't good enough.  When you "quit" you give up.

A spray chart for bunting might get some good usage.

I'm surprised director of ticketing isn't on there after the Alvarado debacle.  Whoever decided on $50 left field pavilion tickets for the preseason game against the Doyers should be removed immediately.

This whole "quit" thing is very Benghazi-like. 

 

To me it looked like he had no place in the organization, and he left.  Somehow the Scios-ghazi guys want to turn it into an ethics debate.

Can you not see how you do the exact same thing just with the opposite opinion. You're like seenoevil with punctuation and grammar.

[Troll Daddy]

Personally, I believe that Scioscia relies on stats more than most managers in the game ... to the point that sometimes it's counter productive. I think most of your analytical stats are just fluff ... no real meat on the bone.

yes I can see how I do the same thing

 

I'll stop if they will
