He reminds me of Michael Scott bragging about the "New York pizza" at Sbarro.

Kevin Love doesn't look so crazy opting out of this foolish tournament is, does he?

Did you just start watching baseball?

Baseball would be infinitely more enjoyable without all this nojsense.

More ridiculous "unwritten rules" bullshit. Sometime baseball is isiotic.

Blame that greedy fuck of an owner who has put recouping his purchase price back over spending money on payroll and putting a MLB team on the field.

The Astros are as much to blame for RSN Houston as Comcast.

This is why the Phils are bad and have no hope to get better any time soon. Time to push this team back to the scrap heap where it belongs.

This is why trying to come up with a formula would be so difficult. While not a main duty would it not artificially dock a QB like Wilson or Kaep who do gain a lot of yards rushing?

The people lamenting the loss of global chat channels are the same loudmouthed, obnoxious douchebags the author is talking about.

I'm on board with anything that limits the procreation of more lawyers.

You don't even know what you're talking about.

Nope, but keep constructing straw men.

The problem with that idea is a pure pocket QB like Manning or Brady is going to be penalized if you start taking into account rushing yards and why ESPNs convoluted mess of a stat called QBR is useless.

Who called him elite? You continue to construct straw men where they don't exist. The article simply pointed out that looking at stats deeper than traditional percentage completed could give a better understanding of how these guys like Kaep and Wilson are successful when the traditional numbers suggest they shouldn't.

Nobody is suggesting he's the best and you pointing to it implies you have an irrational dislike of the guy. Nothing you've posted could possibly be construed as "honest analysis".

To all the morons suggesting Beane has been anything but an unqualified success because of postseason shortcomings? Kindly shut the fuck up as you don't know what you're talking about.

Looking at just one stat will never tell you anything of worth. But just like the NBA where 3 point shot attempts are escalating due to their higher efficiency in scoring I'd expect teams with the personnel able to do so will continue to stretch the field with deeper pass attempts. They will connect less often but for…

Showing they throw more, longer passes offsetting the lower percentages gives insight into how these offenses are succeeding despite being below average in traditional metrics.
