Cool article, and I’m proud it’s happening at the Bell.

Really took a turn at the end though. Thanks, Bighead.

“It’s like the adage, paralysis by analysis,” he said. “You overdo it. You don’t want to get away from your instincts. You don’t want that to dictate all your moves.”

Some instincts need to be left in the digital dust.

also

he’s wrong. I’m pretty sure “paralysis by analysis” doesn’t mean what he thinks it means. Unless he honestly thinks batters will go up there thinking “oh, ok, so this LF can cover 10m/s, so I need to hit a line drive 20m away, or a fly ball 35m away from him” etc. which would be stupid. So, naturally, that’s probably what he thinks.

Players don't need to think about this.

GMs and the front offices need to think about this. To evaluate players. Because that is their job.

They will add pressure sensors in the outfield wall padding

This will measure Rowand’s gamerishness on a game by game basis. This will revolutionize scouting.

Strawhats everywhere are said to be trembling in anticipation.
