we've been locally dealing with hawk harrelson getting made an idiot by everyone here in the chicago land area because he's been going off on sabremetrics and how worthless they are. says the only thing that matters is the will to win.
this is the guy that fired tony larussa and traded rookie bobby bonilla for some turd.

I loved it when Hawk went nuts on the umps throwing Quintana out when he threw directly at Zobrist's head last year. "That's just baseball!" Well it is... until you throw behind a batter, especially of Zobrist's character.
I think there's a certain art to sabremetrics, but it can't do everything. Joe Maddon has shown it could work, but it can't make up for having the 4'th worst offense in the majors.
