I have often said and will maintain that I know this team better than most including any writers out there with the exception of maybe Brock and Lin.
I also have huge issues with advanced metrics, which most of these articles seem to rely on for validation.
Add to that my dreaded Dodger compatriot delivering pussy news and I will possible react like mentos in Pepsi.......If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

show some examples of where your advanced padre (or other team) knowledge beats the advanced metrics, and then maybe there will be more credibility in that statement.
i'm not saying advanced metrics always give exactly the right results, but relying on personal "insight" over them is like relying on tea leaves. unless you're a true insider and have knowledge that nobody else does. wait, are you really mike, wrapped in padre camo?"Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"

"Vegas doesn't predict team wins, they predict where they can set the line in order to optimize their return."
not as much as they used to do. in the last 5+ years, they have dipped a toe into gambling a little. Meaning, if they think a big-betted team like Cowboys Packers Steelers Yankees Lakers are overrated, they dangle a lure at that big-bet crowd. They have done pretty well with this, too.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Well this is my first year back after a 3 year hiatus. I'd wager, though Jason has forbidden bets that my take on the Padres is closer than any metric projection.Originally posted by bryanbutler View Post
