Ban Analytics!

I find their lack of faith disturbing.

Teams always used analytics, and some teams always used them better than others. You can convince me that analytics might make the game more boring, but they also give clubs a chance to find inefficiencies to exploit.

MLB did the right thing in reacting to the things that analytics did to make the game worse. It’s not going to end, however. Rather than complaining about it, MLB and the owners will need to continue to adjust the games as analytics pulls the game in the boring direction.

I also hope the tweet was April 1 joke.
