But I think both agreed to get out of the cave. Plato wrote the allegory of the cave and Aristotle was his student. But the point still stands.

Release the chains off of DM and let him out of the cave!!! Stop viewing the world with just your eyes and use some ideas!!!

That DMGM is a clone of Allard Barid? They dress and look the same, both talk like robots, both make the same horrid mistakes. Nothing has changed.

But they are not. When the fans can immediately claim that a move is garbage and then are proven correct on the field, it shows that the fans have a better grasp on how to build a team than the GM does. The fact that David Glass doesn’t care about how his team is being mismanaged is yet another indictment on the ineptitude of the entire organization. I don’t think it is a stretch to say the Royals have the worst owner, the worst GM and the worst field manager of any major league team.

That the Royals are flushing Zack Greinke’s prime down the toilet. They’ve essentially admitted that they won’t compete in ‘10. So they’ve blown what could be the two best years of ZG’s career. Makes me sick.

Hopefully for the sake of Zack he will have a great stretch over the next 10 years, I dont think he’s peaked at 26.

Poz was basically saying how frustrating it is to root for an organization that fundamentally views the game differently than you do. This is exactly what is happening with Moore vs our stat-based little community here. Moore believes in scouting analysis and intangibles first and foremost, with very little (if any) serious statistical analysis thrown in. That is a subjective approach. We on this blog believe in a stats-based analysis first and foremost, which is an objective approach.

I would venture to say that the constant posters on here, however, are more open to considering the additional input provided by scouting than Moore is open to considering the additional input provided by serious, modern statistical analysis.

That’s a real shame, because an open minded person should be SEARCHING for new ways to do his job better every day.

The only times we’re going to enjoy next season are when Zack pitches, when they manage to hold a lead into the ninth so Soria can pitch, and when Butler’s up. I hope we can also enjoy watching Gordon finally develop into an above-average player, and Callaspo will spray doubles around the park. We all like Meche, and we hope Banny does well, and we know DDJ will do his job.

That’s all. Everything else will be Yunis and Kendalls and Farnsys, oh my!

Anyway, Seitzer will be able to use a lot of game film in order to show the kids at his camp how not to play baseball. “Now, watch this at-bat. The ball’s clearly low and outside, but Guillén swung at it anyway, missed by a mile, and fell down, injuring an imaginary tendon so that he couldn’t play for a week. What do we learn from this?” Kid: “Don’t sign crappy players for lots of money?” Seitzer: “Besides that, I mean.” Kid: “Don’t swing at pitches outside the strike zone?” Seitzer: “That’s right, Jimmy. You wanna play right field tomorrow?”
