Bizarro world: Morgan Ensberg about to have a blog post… that includes me?!?

By Tangotiger, 12:16 PM

This is what he said:

Sabermetrics: Bill James and Tom Tango…Get in the Box! You’re Up!
from Morgan Ensberg’s Baseball IQ by morganensberg

I am putting the finishing touches on my thoughts on Sabermetrics.  You can throw your calculators away because we won’t need them.  Well, we might need them at the end to tally up the score.

I’m going to go warmed up and drink a gallon of coffee for this one….I have a feeling that you aren’t going to like this.

Morgan Ensberg

First off, Ensberg has quickly become one of my favorite ballplayers.  I think he’d be exactly the kind of guy who gets everything I say and MGL would say.  I really think there’d be no divide.

But, based on what he’s saying he’s going to say, I can only believe that he’s reacting to other people’s reactions, or to whatever it is he believes I may have said or done.  That’s the only thing that makes sense to how I can interpret what his position seems to be.  That is, he will pull zero quotes from what I’ve said. But if he quotes me, and if he’s right, then I’ll be happy to concede the point.

Well, let’s see what he says.
