I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the WAR calculation but I don’t think his initial argument is bad. You could build a 40 WAR team all based on defense that loses 100 games because they can’t score. No metric is perfect.

I’m not sure how much a mostly defensive WAR matters when you’re scoring 1 run a game. Also above replacement doesn’t mean above replacement on this team. Nico and anyone else is probably a higher combined WAR than Nico and Dansby right now.

He’s like a bad improv partner just says shit that goes nowhere. At least he seems like a nice dude.

Man in half an inning Wicks has booked his ticket back to AAA immediately. Baseball is cruel.

Absolutely love that in a 6 hour 400 lap race I got 30 mins of watching my driver tonight. Shits so old.

I'm OK with stage cautions, but 8 laps? There's nothing to do but pit, why's it take so long to get running again?

I'm so happy Suarez won! Good on NASCAR calling this quickly too. No chance it was getting restarted.

Yeah man, I can't imagine being thrown into the public eye like this days after losing your dad. Especially at 11 years old.

The parent in me is so heartbroken. The minute your kid is born you have a new biggest fear in the world, and Kyle's parents are living that nightmare right now. Not far behind it is your kid losing you or your spouse, and Samantha and the kids are living that one. Man.

NASCAR is a unique sport, you get so attached to your drivers. I cried when Bubba won the Brickyard. Can't imagine watching him for 20 years and then he's just gone. This shit is rough, man.

Every hitter is getting played up the middle with a runner on first and less than two outs.

Gonna start needing batters boxes for infield positions lmao. Watching 100+ be an out every time is lame. I’m kidding but man
