Always! - it depends upon the point that you are trying to prove.
-
In some respects, it is all about the human element. You know - those folks actually playing the games that produce the stats.
-
I'm guessing that the decision has already been made within. I don't think that it will be by committee but you never know. Looks to me like it is coming from inside.
-
We share a lot of the same things - some of which are good and some of which not so.
-
Once again an excellent answer. I kind of hope that we all have a little stat geek as well as some old school stuff running through us. It's why I don't like labels. Much much too restrictive.
-
I like that too...
-
Excellent - I just knew that the answer was easily attainable. Now don't leave me hanging. How about question number two?
-
You must know that I have the utmost respect for all stat geeks whatever that might mean. What do you think the % of people who actually use analytics in a useful way can be called stat geeks? what is a stat geek by the way?

i'm glad you post here. you make me chuckle even when i don't agree with you. I need to lighten up.
-
it's all good Moon. it is becoming a bit too personal for me. Overly sensitive yes - passive aggressive nope. If someone wants to call me an ass hole, I'm ok with that. I was a teacher and a coach. I have been called lots of things. Passive aggressive is somewhat new but perhaps I am. If i felt that I was though, once again I would admit it.
-
I know. They frustrate me as well but i'm pretty sure that if i was still coaching, i'd be using them.
-
Obviously i don't agree with you.
-
The only stat geeks that i bash on here are the ones who tend to think that they never can be wrong. Some of whom do not communicate with me and I'm ok with that. i actually appreciate the posters here who I think do in fact realize that there is more to the game than what the stats tell us. You are painting a rather nasty picture of me. I don't like it much and I think that you are wrong but i can live with it.
-
That is a good observation. Are you hinting that I did not like Cherington? I don't think that I disliked him. i was actually in favor of most of his moves - even the questionable ones. Do I think that he was as good at his job as Dombrowski? No I don't. I probably support Dd the way i do simply because I am opposed to the piling on. It's the pack mentality I tend not to like.
-
I'm not really ready to buy the passive aggressive crap but thanks for the free psycho analysis. I freely admit that I have issues but somehow I have been able to deal with them.
-
By the way, i don't consider what i said to even resemble passive aggressive. I was pretty clear I think. there are people who post here who I think certainly pretend to know more about all things Red Sox than the people actually running the show.
-
You don't have to educate me as to how it's done. Trust me on that one. Does that sound condescending . I do try to play nicely but I'm finding it to be a bit of a tough go. Know what I mean? Without telling anyone how I really feel, I think there are other ways to state the obvious. Now if it is a face to face thing that is a little different. I'm a pretty easy read.
-
I keep rereading this. it doesn't really sound like something you would post. Doesn't seem very nice.
-
Interesting - i don't consider myself passive aggressive and I don't think I am condescending nor all knowing. What do you call yourself?
-
Not really but whatever the eye of the beholder sees I guess is ok.
-
lol
-
I think that you moved the goal posts just a bit as you often seem to do. I should know better than to argue with someone who is right. Now don't indulge me by telling me about all of the mistakes you have made. Also do not waste your time by telling me that nothing personal is intended in what you say. you ard the experts are right of course and any other argument doesn't matter.
-
So very true and it kind of proves the point I'm trying to make. i guess in some minds either we should have kept all we lost or at least consulted those here who really know what we should be doing!
-
so very very true!
