    Now, people getting mad at analytics for pulling Snell, that I don't get. There were *clearly* a lot of analytics people protesting about this. And I certainly believe I qualify as an analytics person after spending my entire adult life and most of my teenage years doing this.

        Everyday, every year this team plays with house money. They roll the dice and beat the odds for over a decade, not every roll is going to win. I cant imagine if I was them being able to sleep if I didn't do what works spectacularly most of the time

        True, but you it's not the fault of the jackhammer that you can misuse a jackhammer just as you can misuse the sledgehammer.

        Given Mookie's struggles against lefties, I just don't think there's an analysis that says it made any sense.

        It’s a straw man and also based on the false assumption that all analytics suggests the same strategy.
