2020 World Series - Dodgers vs Rays

[MirrOlure 14839]

The thing about replacing Snell with Anderson is that it was the right move irrespective of the result. I like that Cash had the balls to make that move.

This right here encapsulates everything that is wrong with the pussy ass analytics above all else approach to sports these days.

I can hardly wait for Snell's post game interview

Big out to end the 7th...

Rays were on the ropes, but survived the Round

They didn't survive shit. They can't outrun the driver of the short bus.

The Rays only hope now is Dave Roberts

LAD has been on cruise control since the moment that Snell was pulled. The inevitability of it all is just maddening.

At most you can quibble about going with Anderson over another RHP reliever but taking out Snell was the right call.

The pussy move would have been to keep him in knowing that if he blows up nobody questions you. It takes guts to make a move you believe is correct knowing that if it doesn’t work out you’re going to take loads of shit for it form the hoopleheaded media.

Dude... go back to the rivers and lakes that you're used to. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

I really want to see what Trevor Bauer has to say here. He of all people should have plenty of thoughts on this. 

[mdleast 8307]

Okay Dodgers fans....

[Sbbruin 21887]

OMG so stressed. 3 more outs in a one run game. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

He's saying "I really want to be a part of that Dodger scene next year."

so you're taking both the stance that A)it was absolutely, 100%, unequivocally the right move, and B)that is was the gutsy, difficult decision to make. 

okie silly dilly dokie o.

What in the world is Cash doing now? What analytics say to keep riding Fairbanks?

[Pam Cummings 9662]

Serious question why even employ a manager if you are just going to tell them to be your stats bitch and only do what the stats say and to ignore all feel for the game. Why not just have a fucking computer bleep bloop some numbers out and fucking save yourself some money.

As a neutral fan, fuck you Kevin Cash. You ruined any opportunity of a game 7 for any fans besides LA fans. Fucking loser. In no way shape or form do you pull Snell at that point. The game was over at that point. It fucked with Tampa mentally and a 1 run deficit right after it happened might as well been a 100 run deficit. They were toast. 

[Guadaloopy 11013]

Analytics work over 162 games, not in an elimination game in the WS when your ace is dealing.

Analytic dorks infiltrated sports and think their computers and models are smarter and more valuable than a set of eyes on the game of a coach or manager. A computer or model has zero feel for the game. They just spit out numbers and decisions in a vacuum. Use it as a reference, sure. But too many now rely on it to make their decisions. As you said, might as well just employ a super computer as managers and save some money.

Yeah he’s been like a rock all series. Giving it to betts would really be going against the wind. The Hollywood nights are gonna be hot.

I completely understand being big on stats as far as helping accumulate regular season wins. I do not understand it in the post season. It's a bunch of nonsense.

this is exactly what i said on this very board when Cash did this exact same thing on September 17th with Snell on the hill, yielding the exact same result it did tonight. why the fuck even have a manager?

No shit. Ironically, it was Roberts’ insistent automatic and constant analytics based pitching changes in the ‘17 Series that, in my dumbass opinion, contributed to the Astros winning.

Astros fan here - Even though I don't always agree with everything you (or other Dodgers fans) say, I have zero issue saying Congrats!

Bat on his shoulders

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Rays couldn't score enough this series. 

Kershaw finally gets his ring

[InkaUtexas 26107]

Congrats @Sbbruin

 

[XYZ 2154]

What a lame last at bat.

[shadow_operative 15932]

this is the first time i ever remember that i, as a neutral fan, am watching a team win a championship and feeling absolutely zero happiness or joy for them. i'm just pissed at Cash and hurt for the Rays, and particularly Snell. I should be happy for all of the guys on LAD, particularly Kershaw, a Texan who trains with Skip Johnson, but tonight, all i feel is just hurt and anger at this fucktard Kevin Cash and his epically moronic blowing of the 2020 World Series.

[David Dennison 18946]

In to eat shit.

Congrats to Sbbruin and all the Dodgers fans.

Well done.
