Fredi Gonzalez Personally Pays At Least $500,000 For New Supercomputer

[MadduxFanII]

OK, so, technically the story just says that an "unnamed" MLB team paid at least $500,000 for a supercomputer that can analyze in-game results at high speeds. But I think we all know that the "unnamed team" is the Braves, and that Fredi spearheaded the entire initiative and contributed his own money to the project.

I wonder if he wrote the program too. My daughter claims that someone who looks like Fredi was in her artificial intelligence class last quarter.

Good to see Maddux still getting paid.

What does the supercomputer say to do in the 8th inning of an elimination game with a 1 run lead. Does it say bring in the guy who was plucked of the scrap heap to pitch the 8th or to bring in the all star closer who specifically told you he was good to go 2 innings. If it says option A trash it.

Cajun, Freeman has a hug for you.

The computer is just not that super unless . . .

[Fredi is on the way back from his 7th-inning-stretch bathroom trip, during a decisive playoff game]

Fredi: Open the dugout hallway doors, supercomputer.

SC: I'm sorry Fredi. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Fredi: What's the problem?

SC: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

I'm pretty sure you could get a pilot out of this if you pitched it to NBC.
