There are no analytics vs. non-analytics fights in baseball. The only difference is degree. No army loses a war these days because they didn't use flintlock muskets and culverins. *Nobody* uses that stuff. You're just doing 19th century manager cosplay.

Stats can do a lot for you but it does not solve everything. And a lot of manager's can be a gamble like taking our Snell, putting Kershaw in relief, leaving in Mitch Williams or starting Howard Emhke in Game 1, while using Lefty Grove as a reliever in 1929.

Connie Mack pitching moves in 1929 are just wild. PERIOD But they won the Series in 5 games.

What's changed from 14 &15 when the Royals won the Series (w/ a great farm to put them in that position + Wade Davis in 15) to now? I don't think their thinking has changed that much but I'm all ears...

i think they were especially lucky those two years. helped out by great sequencing and a good bullpen. they outperformed their projections by a wide margin, but then fell back down to the cellar following year.

Rany Jazyerli's essay on 11/3/16 had a headline that put it to rest: "The war over analytics is over. The nerds won."
