I posted this in the Other Baseball forum, but I think it fits here. I don’t think this is ‘Twins only’ discussion as what most are saying is pretty much everywhere in baseball, some good, some bad. And Richie’s post kind of summarized this article. Hopefully it’s not behind a paywall and you can read one article for free. While it emphasizes the pitch clock, it’s really about more than that. It’s why the need for it and what led us there.
I think if this discussion had been framed in a question form .., ‘Have analytics hurt baseball? How? What’s the solution?’ … we’d get to the heart of it. I’d go so far as saying it’s not analytics, but it’s how some numbers have been applied … would that be a fair question?
