This trend of having to start analyzing every burp that happens in a dugout for it's impact on a game is silly.
My only question: did they win or lose. Even with all these new stats, the best teams still lose around 60-70 games and the worst teams generally lose around 90 games, just as it has been the entire history of the sport so I really don't see where all these sabermetric stats have made any difference. Just people with too much time on their hands looking for something to do.

Were you running the Orioles from about 1998-2011? Rarely have I seen a more passionate evisceration of those darned whippersnappers and their newfangled ways.
