MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

This might be the dumbest post of all time.

All analytics are is information. It still needs to be vetted and far from perfect, but go ahead and use your gut feeling and sac bunt in the first inning.

 

There is not a team in the league that don’t Take them seriously.

 

But analytics can’t take into account whether a guy looks like a gamer.

 

Really? Dumbest of all time? I'm flattered just to be nominated, but to win, boy, it's really something special. Considering I wasn't actually serious about any of that, figured blue font was implied, I've really outdone myself.

 

That post was gritty and had intangibles, though. I'd build a whole fucking message board around it!

 

After I went down 0 and 2 posts, I knew I had to change my approach. Shorten up the key strokes and try to take it opposite thread.

 

And that's exactly why it was the perfect time to order the intentional walk.

 

Not sure what kind of pitcher he is (after all, he faced the Mariners today, who have 2 or 3 decent hitters in their lineup), but Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford has a great name.

Especially because he struck out 7 hitters in five innings with, yes, his cutter.

 

Best thing of all is he's an anti-vaxxer. Let's face it: If anyone ever sounded like an anti-vaxxer, it's a guy named Kutter.

 

Sometimes you've got to try to post anything goes on sports & news. The analytics nerds are saying the new market inefficiency is shitposting on the J boards.

 

Angels analytics said to pitch to Alonso with two outs, runner on second, first base open and Canha up next. Alonso leads the NL in HRs and RBIs. Intentional walk was in order. Instead, he singled in the run. Oops, I forgot, RBIs don't matter anymore.
