Bryan Smith
Huh?:
Let me explain why I was going to stop: I feel like, at times, sabermetrics can be draining on the love I feel for baseball. Sabermetrics is rooted in cynicism, I think, so there is so often the feeling of “this guy’s overrated” and “this broadcaster sucks” or “Omar Minaya should be murdered” or whatever. And so I was going to stop, maybe for a year, maybe forever, to reinitiate myself into just loving baseball.
Bryan doesn’t go to the same sabermetric parties I go to. Sabermetrics is rooted in truth, objetiveness, and quantifying opinions. It’s about as dispassionate as it gets. I don’t know what parties Bryan goes to, but their are masquerading as sabermetrics if he’s seeing what he says.
The rest of the Q&A was great, and Carson asks really good questions. It’s was a fun read.
