Why am I not surprised at The Hawk & Stone’s reaction to this?
oldtimefamilybaseball:
Part of me wants to view this CSN Chicago article as satire because the whole “I hate Moneyball because Billy Beane is Mark Twain, I’ll tell ya, and why would I want computers to play baseball because I like men playing baseball, the way God intended” shtick became a hilarious cultural meme…
I assume this has something to do with number of games remaining, but it sure looks weird that the team shown in 2nd place has been eliminated (not to mention the teams in 4th and 5th), but the team in 3rd has not.

All these guys get paid to do is hit. None of them are.
