    Mike Trout on his way to a historic season.

    all time great season in progress

    To much distractions and pressure in those environments and he may not have similar success as he is enjoying with angels but he would still be a great player and a hall of famer.

    yeah, not my cup of tea anymore.

    I listen to it on radio if a game is on while driving.

    go to a game 10x per year maybe.

    watch some condensed games on mlb before bed, or when I get up extra early not on purpose

    but its been over a decade since I watch a full 9 inning game on tv. World Series, playoffs included

    all that being said

    doesn't matter what fans think of stats

    gamblers and more importantly professional front offices are ALL about stats

    its the longest sample size season with the most consistentcy where stats can be predictive.

    front offices are paying millions of dollars to crunch stats, and analyze them in new ways.

    fans are funding sites to the tunes of hundreds of millions to show them advanced analytics

    tv stations with broadcasting rights paying billions of dollars, are falling all over themselves trying to out advance metric the other station


    its just the way it is now.

    no more mickey mantle back of baseball card shit

    put him in Yankee stadium with pressure and see what happens to his stats

    Angels zero pressure and most of his career games meant nothing
