The people who use data correctly are the ones who use it to make their theories fit reality. The ones who are simplistic, intellectually lazy, and operate like a robot are those who try to fit reality into their theories. Dave Roberts is the latter. There is little context, understanding of the situation... or there is, but it's forsaken for the pursuit of theory. I've never seen a manager so dogmatic. He literally is Michael Scott trusting the GPS, despite it meaning he drives into a lake.
Finally, fuck Clayton Kershaw and the utter fraud he's been for the past 10 years. I'd thank him for the great years, but he managed to fuck those up too by October. In the pantheon of great Dodger pitchers, forget comparing him to Koufax. He's not even Hershiser. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Clayton.
