Joe Maddon on the use of analytics:

"It's been kind of difficult overall. I'm into
analytics, but not to the point
everybody wants to shove it down
your throat. Real baseball people have
felt somewhat impacted by all of this.
You're unable to just go to the ballpark
and have some fun and play baseball.
It's too much controlled by front
offices today ... In general the industry
has gone too far in that direction and
that's part of the reason people aren't
into our game as much as they have
been.'
In other words, Maddon is telling the
Nerds to stay in your lane.
