If you think it's the analytics guys who want to feel smarter, try talking to a former high school or college baseball player about WAR sometime. @TheHerd

In an effort to not decide the outcome, the refs will swallow their whistles. And thereby decide the outcome. For OKC. If they actually call the fouls that will be committed on Wemby, Spurs will win.

Punchline

When it's close on the field but not off the field, you go with the ayer with fewer off-field issues. Should have taken Reese. But Jets gonna Jet.

@AndrewSacks13 Oakes here...I seem to have a bad phone number for you...please send a private message so I can get back in touch more personally. You should know i always think of you around the Bard's b-day!

That's a very significant offensive edge for Williams. Mays's defense and baserunnung may make up for it or slightly more, but it's not at all clear that it does.

Actually, it doesn't. Williams had 1 WAR every 18.82 games, and Mays had 1 every 19.24 games.

"On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time, you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime."

Not clear that Mays was a better player. He was better at the other-than-hitting stuff, but .174 OPS is a lot to make up.

It's not a matter of performance credit. Mays had the better career due to more playing time, but they're effectively equal on a rate basis. You're not getting a (much if at all) better player with Mays; you're getting one who was avoht as good and played more.

I have, but I've also seen how defensive linemen try to get to the QB, and that ain't it.

Yup...and then the queen goes right back where it started.

Coming straight at him doesn't seem like quite the optimal approach. Let's see the dude deal with Dwight Freeney's spin move before we sign him.

Long Train Running.

Wow RIP Michelle Trachtenburg. Way too young.

Solo, I prefer Hagar. With VH, Roth all the way.

Qf5 Boomerang!

I'd trade 2020s baseball to have 1970s baseball back in a heartbeat.
