This is a great idea for a reoccurring piece. There is an amazing book called ‘The Shift’ that explores the combination of analytics and the human element in baseball. While this isn’t quite that, finding the balance between the eye test and advanced stats is still an ongoing battle for some fans. No need for it to be all one or the other, right?
And just to be clear, “this isn’t quite that,” was not a comment on quality. I’m worried that’s how it came across and it is not what I intended. Anyway, loved the piece and am a big fan of the pod.

As you may have noticed, a lot of what I’m doing is writing and seeing what works. I thought of this one today and it feels like the right move.
Thank you for the comment and thanks for reading.
