So…I take it we drafted a kid named Tyler Boucher?
Tyler Boucher at the end of every Sens game in the future:
I'm just gonna jump in here, and go a little of topic. Moneyball is a nice story and all but let's not forget the fact the book and movie glossed over who the top players were, how they were acquired and why those players were paid so little. It was a pitching staff that consisted of the 2000 Cy Young runner up, the 2001 Cy Young runner up and the 2002 Cy Young winner, three different pitchers by the way. And oh yeah, they had the 2002 MVP at SS and the 2002 gold glove and silver slugger winner at 3B. But yeah, Scott Hatteberg and David Justice propelled that team to success.
Wasn't Moneyball all about analytics?
We just hired Pierre Maguire

It was all about analytics which is the problem. The team was lead by a group of players not identified through analytics.
Any anti-drafting Boucher folks still think he is not on the level of Sillinger, Lucius or Coronato now that we have seen him in this tournament?
What has he done in this tournament to prove anybody wrong?
Everyone knew about Boucher's elite physical game and his great battle level, but is he showing off any kind of top 10 worthy talent, vision or shooting ability that the scouting community consensus missed?
Not that I have seen.
So far, he's gotten a point in every game I think, that's a PPEG - 1 point per exhibition game.What has he done in this tournament to prove anybody wrong?

Therapy can take time .. stick with it.But unfortunately, those therapy sessions are not. .
Gonna reach far back for an oldy but goody.
See ya! Wouldn't want to be ya!
And finding value by ignoring pre-conceived biases.Moneyball was about going against conventional wisdom.

lolWho me? Wouldn't know. Never been to a therapist in my life. But I see it's not really helping you with your insecurity and anger issues.
Starting off your post by saying 'everything you said is wrong' then going on and on about how you are right and everyone else is wrong isn't going to illicit a response.
Yes, they are very different claims. It's also a very simple analogy...and not one that I find particularly relevant
Giving your 2 cents is absolutely fine and expected. It's a message board
But to play out your balls and strikes analogy.... you're not a umpire...yet you make the ball call frequently and present that call as fact
That's cool that you do that....but given the manner in which you do it, you should expect a bit of push back now and again
And finding value by ignoring pre-conceived biases.
Like that pitcher who threw a baseball like a space alien who had never seen a baseball before.
