    If you’ve ever seen EY Sr on Baseball Tonight he used to sound utterly clueless and lost.

    Weiss is anti-saber. This really just sucks.

    I think this is a sound strategy by the Braves to prioritize specialization in their coaching staff at the expense of a couple popular ex-players.

    Where did you heaer that about Weiss? I've never heard anything like that. I remember him talking about knowing the tendacies of a hitter when playing shortstop for us. That's all I know of him and stats.

    The Colorado ties they have sure makes one wonder if the Dan O'Dowd rumblings might have some legs, no???
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I'm not saying Weiss is a true-believer by any means, but I think he'll play the role he needs to regarding the SABR stuff. He just needs to be the liaison between the analytics department and the the coaching staff and players. That is the role he played in CO, and it's a job that should be kind of hard to screw up as long as he's bought in. 80% of the it is just digesting the instructions he's given on defensive positioning and coaching the players on it before and during the game.

    And the goal was to get a stats savvy bench coach.

    It would be funny if it weren't happening with my favorite team.

    I’m blanking on that one. When did we employ him? I must’ve exorcized that one out of my head.

    I remember how fun that team was for not striking out and hitting a million worm killers to second base every night. They should hang a banner in STP.

    Sadly, that was the last time the on-field product was remotely entertaining to follow. Two weeks in April 2015.

    Actually, they were fun up until Grilli got hurt right before the ASB. I believe they were leading the WC at the time. Then, we went full-on sale mode.

    I was excited about what the Braves might get for Grilli in trade at the deadline. I don't recall the sentiment being that the team was legitimately competitive, or that they would add at the deadline, prior to Grilli getting hurt.

    No. We are all afraid they were going to foolishly try to though. It was just fun that we were unexpectedly competitive for almost half a season.
