Billy Eppler compares analytics to a buffet table

[KevinJ14]

"Think about it as a buffet table," he said. "You go to certain buffets and they put certain dishes out on the buffet. We want to be able to have a very comprehensive kitchen that can cook a lot of different meals up. The coaching staff will choose what meals they want to eat."

Makes sense.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

In before somebody says that this analogy is only to catch Scioscia's attention.

[Jimmag]

I think the word smorGASbord is not used enough.

Looks like Eppler found the right way to get through to Mike regarding analytics

No lasagna reference yet?

I wonder if he realized how funny, and perfectly placed, the Angels' fan base would find that analogy. If Jerry had made this analogy, everyone would have taken it as a shot against the Big Catorce.

"Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Your Golden Corral of advanced metrics."

In before somebody says that this analogy is only to catch Scioscia's attention.

That analogy is saying Dipoto ****ed up.

[Second Base]

So if advanced analytics are like Hometon Buffet, does this also mean it'll give you stomach cramps followed by the runs before you even have a chance to vacate the premises.

I always thought the Angels could run more...

[UndertheHalo]

this thread delivers. haha.

[seenoevil]

sosh is in charge then, that is what I got from the analogy

[Docwaukee]

is the buffet in throne hollywood?  

[Sciosciapath]

Quick! Someone have Eppler compare sacrifice bunting with Trout on deck to "vegetables and exercise".

[tomsred]

That analogy is saying Dipoto ****ed up.

 

More like Dipoto came to the buffet table and threw up.

stats nom nom

Ooh pie charts!

[Stradling]

Damn, now I want BABIP

[Halos of Anaheim]

Quick! Someone have Eppler compare sacrifice bunting with Trout on deck to "vegetables and exercise".

Eppler should put more effort into finding a left fielder instead of coming up with terrible analogies.

[ABC]

Every time Eppler speaks I have less confidence in him. He makes no sense. Dude is scared of his own shadow in interviews and paints himself into weird verbal and thought corners. Hopefully he is more coherent away from the spotlight.

Eppler should put more effort into coming up with terrible left fielders.

AW is feasting on this quote.

I knew people here would eat this one up.
