You all just can't stand it that not everybody drinks the kool-aid. Stop ragging on Joe. 10 years ago before the nerds took over and he was with Boog everybody in this crowd for the most part had nothing but good to say for Joe.

I always enjoyed Joe, whether I agreed with him or not. Joe and Boog were great together and a lot better than anything we've had on TV since.
 
Joe is terrible, which is why he's been demoted. He may have seemed good with Boog because Boog is really, really good. But Joe is bad.

None of that is even remotely true. In fact, it’s so untrue, that I’d say it qualifies as **** posting. In that case, I’m going to have to ask you to cease or stop posting altogether.

Maybe you can team up with clv, crazy, garmel and anyone who wants to revel in the glorious past of 1990s ignorance and start a new board?

If you get your hero Joe to join as well you guys can sit there whooping it up about the good old days when being dumb was something to be proud of, and curse the intelligent folks making you look like obsolete old fools.

I bet you'll have a ton of members.

Yeah, who cares if a guy can actually play or not. As long as he grades out. Too smart for their own good eggheads are ruining the game. I absolutely love it when Moneyball theory fails.

How do you feel when the Moneyball theory succeeds though? Because more often than not, it does.

Advanced analytics doesn't guarantee success. It shows trends. There is still a human element to the game so of course, there will be times when it "fails". But, teams that utilize this extra information will be more successful than those who do not. The data tells us that. I'm not sure why it is taking you so long to come on board.

When the new way results in 15 straight playoff appearances, 5 straight WS appearances, and at least three rings come and talk to me. Until then you are an overthinker with too much time on your hands IMO.

Don't save me a seat. That is a train I don't want to ride.

The Dodgers say hello. So do the new Yankees. So do the Astros. And the Indians. Oh, the Rays and As who build contenders with bottom rung payrolls also raise their hands.

Denial of ignorance, gotta love it!
