yeah, nothing says Fake News more than getting who received Justin Bour wrong because Bour changes EVERYTHING!

Having Knebel and Barraclough become super terrible at the same time out of nowhere is not cool at all baseball gods.

Provide a helpful analysis as to why you're not getting what you want for Porcello and anger is what you get out of it?

Other news, Hunter Renfroe has homered in 4 straight games

Well poop. Just realized I’m playing you.

He’s turned the corner.

I pointed that out yesterday. Won’t be until next season I can get his thump into my lineup tho.

Also, calm down. You are 26.5 games up on the 2nd place team.

You should be resting your guys for the playoffs!

I think Jayson Werth logged onto the FSB saw redd's spreadsheet and swamie's wObas and had this to say:

"They've got all these super nerds, as I call them, in the front office that know nothing about baseball but they like to project numbers and project players," Werth, who wouldn't use the word "retirement" when he left the game on June 27, told the Howard Eskin Podcast for 94 WIP in Philadelphia.

"... I think it's killing the game. It's to the point where just put computers out there. Just put laptops and what have you, just put them out there and let them play. We don't even need to go out there anymore. It's a joke."

"When they come down, these kids from MIT or Stanford or Harvard, wherever they're from, they've never played baseball in their life," Werth told Eskin. "When they come down to talk about stuff like [shifts] ... should I just bunt it over there? They're like, 'No, don't do that. We don't want you to do that. We want you to hit a homer.' It's just not baseball to me.

"We're creating something that's not fun to watch. It's boring. You're turning players into robots. They've taken the human element out of the game."

There was also a nice quote from Gossage:

quote:

"It is a joke," Gossage said then. "The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it. I'll tell you what has happened, these guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went, and they thought they figured the f---ing game out. They don't know s---."

These guys...

The irony is Werth was a late bloomer (dude wasn’t good until he was 29 and signed a big deal at 32) who ended up making $136 mil in his career on the back of sabremtrics
