You guys are morons, Harold Reynolds speaks the truth! Bleh as much as i like to argue, this one's as straightforward as it gets, i feel so much dumber for having watched that. The best part is at the end as it fades out, you can hear Harold Reynolds start to make the case that Tom Seaver never would have made it in today's "stat obsessed" baseball. Because his stats sucked Harold... I think Harold's just trying to explain why he didn't hit 50 HR every year - not bc he didnt have the talent, but because he was playing his proper "role" leading to all those wins for his great Mariner ballclubs. I also love how the 2 stats they focus on from the Pecota projections are RBI for hitters and wins for pitchers. Wow someone could write a book on that 6 minute segment.
A lot of heart, winning and touch and feel in there.

ReplyDeleteReally, that's pretty funny. Why not give Joe Sheehan a call and have him offer a counterpoint?
barry larkin should be nice to the only guys who are gonna be pimpin' his hall of fame case.
