I know I'm old school. Proud of it in a lot of ways. Get off my lawn becomes me now.
Anyway, some of the 'new' analysis flat out pisses me off. And as you know if reading this section for awhile, I really dislike how the strike out and base on balls that has become sacred in analytical eyes.
They have K and BB have combined to make baseball so damned boring....ok, I'll stop there. You don't want to hear it.... again....
So, every morning I read the latest roto news from sites. Most are "Duhs". Things we already know.
Mostly, we read them to see if we missed an injury or if somebody is being sent down or DFA'd, etc.
Hardly ever do the writers say anything beyond the news that influences us.
This is not a jab at them. If playing in the NFBC, I just believe that our opinions are as good or better than these scribes.
That goes for podcasters as well. We listen more to be entertained than to learn.
As you know, I feel a lot of these 'analysts' hit ninth in Little League, heard coaches say over and over again, "A walk is as good as a hit" and now pushes that agenda on us as fantasy players and even on players themselves.
That's right.
These nerds think they know what is best for players.
Even a player hitting close to .400
I was floored when I saw the last sentence of this blurb this morning....
'Joey Wendle Plates three in loss
2BT ampa Bay Rays
April 22, 2021
Wendle went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Wendle doubled home a run in his first and last at-bats of the evening while driving in his third run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The 30-year-old continues to be one of the hottest hitters in baseball at the moment with a slash line of .365/.388/.619 to go along with three home runs, seven doubles, 15 RBI and 16 runs scored. His only concerning stat is a 1:12 BB:K, as he needs to do a better job at working the count against pitchers.
Two words.....FUCK OFF!
I don't usually swear here, but really, man, SHUT UP!
This guy is hitting .365 and you want to change him?
It's like complaining of a mosquito bite on the arm of the girl of our dreams.
This former ninth hitter in Little League wants an MLB player to be like him!
Isn't baseball wonderful?
