So its basically more risky.

I do believe in things you can not quantify, like last years WS. I like the use of Hayward this year. I feel Maddon is using his players well. Are there times it doesn’t work? Of course but the thought process is correct. (I’m one who still believes he handled the pitchers correctly in the 7th game.)

Also, a note from last week. As a coach, and someone who did some catching in my youth, and from discussions with multiple catchers, I would never want to receive a throw behind the plate.

Your views are interesting, but I usually disagree with your conclusions, and I do understand analytics. I am old but not necessarily old school.
