Sticking to what he knows.

Quote from: MarkNate:

I love you, but stick to elections. While baseball is certainly built on a foundation of stats, not all stats are created equal. As you know, Cabrera did something not done in 45 years. He also carried his team to the playoffs in the process, something that no stat quite captures. If you want to make an argument that Trout was the better statistical player, fine. That does not necessarily equate to the MVP, however.

Quote from: Judy"It's the traditionalists who are using statistics in a way that misses the forest for the trees."

See Nate....there you go again! Baseball is tradition. Baseball is not a game of numbers, much like football is.

Baseball is what is passed from grandfather to father to son....and on.
Baseball has never been a game of stats. Baseball has always been a game of heart and passion.
In short, Stats are meaningless in matters of the heart.

Reading through those comments is like going back ten years in the online baseball community.  It's fucking horrible and makes me want to lie down in front of a train.

Base Ball by Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks must be Tony Campana's agent.

QuotePolitics is a messy sport. And just as ball players who drink beer and eat fried chicken in dugouts across America can screw up the smartest sabermatrician's forecast, Nate Silver's formula is sure to let his fervent admirers down from time to time. But judging from what I saw of him this morning, Nate is a grounded guy who admits as much in his book. I was too tough on him and there's a 84.398264% chance I will be less dismissive of his good work in the future.
