What's Buzzing

Michael Schwab

Bagwell isn’t against analytics. They just think analytics has a place and shouldn’t be the end all be all. But that ends up being like 80% baseball knowledge and 20% analytics. It can’t work that way anymore

SFA has never lost to Duke in men's basketball

Answer me this. If Bagwell has so much influence in the Astros front office, and he’s 100% anti-analytical, which many Astros fans seem convinced of, then why were the 3 Driveline employees and Flores hired?
