It's crazy how analytics have changed the game. And I think has changed how we interpret the game we watch. The data says do this. So managers do it. Because it's a good excuse if it doesn't work. Little went with gut and it cost him his job. Blame the numbers. The problem is we like it when we can name a scapegoat. It's more fun. I know. i'm a horrible person. But as a fan, I remember our players' foibles more than an analytical error.
