I've been banging this drum for a while now. There are signs of improvement on the team that are really easy to overlook because of our records and offensive stats the last three years. I'm not saying we're going to see a flipped switch type improvement where everyone wonders what the hell happened... but I'm not saying that we won't, either.

I mean I consider our stats disappointing, sure, but I'm don't know if I'd go so far as to call them offensive.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

I was going to link to the Bill Connelly article, but I see you already did!

I am cautiously optimistic that the people who look at such things are coming to a consensus that we won't suck.

I don't like how Andy is pandering to the people who don't value advanced metrics.

These. Metrics. Are. Advanced.
