after dave stewart implied that the d'bags were more of a true baseball team because they didn’t emphasize analytics as much as other teams [LINK], DBB dropped this bomb...
i know, right? Telephone ringing... MATTINGLY: "Hullo?" STEWART: "Donnie, it's Dave. Did you just call me a fool?" MATTINGLY: "Well, if calling you a fool is calling you a fool, then I guess I called you a fool." STEWART: "Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?" MATTINGLY: "Wow, racist." STEWART: "Did you really just say that?' MATTINGLY: "I just call them as I see them." STEWART: "Them? Now who's the racist?" MATTINGLY: "You are!" STEWART: "No, you are!" MATTINGLY: "No, you are!" STEWART: "No, you are!" MATTINGLY: "No, you are!" STEWART: "No, you are!" MATTINGLY: "No, you are!" STEWART: "No, you are!"
All of a sudden This nigga didnt use one ounce of analytics as a manager each time he bunted or intentionally walked a hitter Or the way he batted his best player fifth Among countless other things also Thank you Andrew Freidman. Here's to a new DBB...I think?
You didn't think this through. It's one thing to use analytics. It's another thing entirely to use analytics CORRECTLY. Mattingly may very well be USING analytics, he probably just doesn't UNDERSTAND them.
This type of stuff is why I believe They kept Don and was cautiously optimistic about him changing I figured Friedman believed he could change Don's flaws meanwhile being able to keep his positives in dealing with the players
Of course Donnie is using analytics... cuz' Friedman told him so Properly using analytics... well that's best off left to Friedman and Zarhan Still the point remains that Dave Stewart is an idiot. And whenever the world starts to wonder about that fact Dave is more than happy to open his trap and prove himself the fool with virtually no provocation. Keep walking... nothing to see here...
