Could you imagine “feeling it” as a hitter & “they” say it’s probably a good idea to take the next day off because you had too many total bases?

Saw this today and instantly made me think about what
@GreggOlson30
has been talking about lately. Analytics have a role but sometimes get carried away.

Maybe take him out of the game after two at bats if he got a single and double in first two AB's then he might be able to play the next day smh

In 2018, I went 2-3 with a 2B and 4 RBI off a 7-year big leaguer
The next night (game 3 of the series) I wasn’t in the lineup because they “had to figure some stuff out”
Pro baseball is not real baseball.

What’s disappointing is that there are enough of these people that they have basically become the majority.
And no matter what anybody says, the same kind of thinking, led to collusion about five or six years ago, when the fridge market was so slow.

“Nimmo, you got 4 walks today and ran to 1st base everytime. I’ll have to sit you tomorrow so we can rest your legs “.

Know a player in the Mets minor league system. Went to instructs and they gave him a monitor to wear to measure his load management. Said he had to go easy on hits or not run hard down line so that he could play the next day. Couldn’t believe my ears.

When that ball looks like a beach ball coming in, it’s amazing!! But it only lasts for so long so get while gett’n is good. (Unless you’re Tony Gwynn, then it looks like a beach ball an entire career).

Could you imagine winning the World Series because your players were still around at the end of the season?

Analytics do play role. Buck had his binders 20 years ago. You use as much info to our your team in the best chance to win. Analytics as they are today is out of control and has ruined the game. Period.
