quote:
completely generalized example, but

analytics maps everything out based on longevity of the season and numbers averaging out over that course.
it may lead to a few more runs or wins over the long term, but doesn't necessarily make the game itself a better game.


analytically, "just put it in play" is no longer considered good strategy.
and mathematically that can be proven.

but that new mindset doesn't necessarily make the game a more enjoyable watch than it was when you saw a variety of different types of hitters hitting the ball a variety of different ways, etc.


we are talking two totally different things

i actually agree with you on enjoyability of watching a game

but for trying to actually win the game...the analytics are correct but yea its not that fun to see so many strikeouts

but also pitching has changed so much that you cant really string together a couple singles to win games.

but I do agree many times we are over thinking it big time and many players lack the ability to play a team game. moving the runner over or laying a bunt down against the shift are smart plays that still play in todays game and its certainly a lost art.

Williams was not in dead ball era. It ended in 1920.
