World Series 2020. It's Hero Time! - Page 13 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Analytics taking too much blame here. Obv it is a tool to help inform decisions, not make them. Analytics didn't call for Snell's removal, Cash did.

Congrats to Justin Turner. MLB sees fit to remove you from a game because you have COVID. You decided that your deserve the joy of celebration, and as for the health of everyone on the field, and whoever they are in contact with, .......well .....too bad for them.

Selfish tool. Life is full of big sacrifices. This was not even close to being one of them, and you could not even do what is right.

Plus in the team picture he sits beside the manager who is a cancer survivor .

Did he have Jansen on his other side? Maybe he's trying to make some off season improvements of the team via the old "addition by subtraction" route.

Funny thing about Cash decision is that it's like a concept called TPM - total preventative maintenance - maintaining things before they break.

Quote:

Preventive maintenance can include measuring and checking components as well as the replacement of various components just as you would replace the timing belt on your car. The reason for this is that everything wears over time and the costs of replacing some items prior to actual failure are far less than the potential consequences of failure whilst in service. Many car engines would suffer significant damage if the timing belt broke, and you would incur far greater expense than if you had just replaced the belt prior to failure.

Quote:

This planned preventive maintenance program can often be a bone of contention between the different departments with “busy” production departments often refusing to release machines due to the need to meet customer demands; however, often the reason for being busy is because of having to work around delays and quality problems caused by unreliable machines that are desperate for a service.

But baseball decision needs more factors considered - I'm totally against taking out Snell - he seemed crushed in his interview.

Washing machines and car engines don't vary greatly in their daily performance. It is more akin to a concept called FPS- fancy pants syndrome- getting unnecessarily fancy.

White Sox ended up hiring Tony OldRussa. lolReinsdorf. **** the Wsox, even though I do feel bad for some of those young guys that WERE going to be exciting to watch.

Do we not have an offseason thread yet?

lol White Sox. Way to waste 2 years of your window by giving into La Russa's end of life crisis.

He was the reason the Dbacks got fleeced in a handful of trades 3-5 years ago.

Reminder that La Russa helped Jerry get his favorite player Harold Baines in the hall of fame.

I really don't get it.

I just have to trust Hahn and Co did their due diligence and decided he was the best fit for whatever reason.

I can't imagine him in the dugout for the next 5 years.

Classic Reinsdorf move. White Sox just got at least 150% more hateable. What an overrated piece of garbage. Hahn didn't seem too thrilled about it in his press conference either.

I get it and obviously don't know the answer on how either side should handle it, but he should have realized from the start of the first inning there would basically be a guy warming up.
