This is an important morning, and an important day. I'd like to take a moment to thank Pat Murphy and the Milwaukee Brewers for SAVING Major League Baseball. Since Billy Beane and Moneyball, Analytics Nerds have tried to aggressively take over our game. They never played baseball, and they told us it's okay to strike out, just walk and hit home runs. "We don't care about base hits," they say. Well... the Brewers just SWEPT the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have a trillion dollar payroll if they didn't do all this Ohtani referral nonsense. And what do we need to know about these Brewers? - They were FIRST in MLB in batting average - you need hits to win!!! - They were 28th in Home Runs!!! One of the worst Home Run hitting teams in all of baseball I'd also like to thank the Tampa Bay Rays, who are currently battling in the ALCS. - Rays batters struck out the LEAST of any team this season. Baseball hasn't changed. If you want to play the right way, you need to have scrappy at bats, you need to have heart and grit, you need to PUT THE BALL IN PLAY (no strikeouts!) and get base hits. Now watch how the Analytics Nerds will change course. Last year, nobody was too interested in Luis Arraez (who gets hits). Watch him get more money this offseason. All of the trends will change. The Nerds are just learning about baseball, today.
