Jayson Werth: 'Super nerds' are 'killing' MLB

Airplanes are ruining travel. Real men use row steamships to travel down the Mississippi

How does one a row steamship? Fuck do I know- but it's MANLY.

Dude hasn't had an OPS+ above 100 since 2014 and hit .206/.297/.389 in the hitter friendly PCL this year. But sure, let's blame the nerds instead of acknowledging his decline.

Nice career and a very good postseason hitter (.251/.369/.524 with 15 home runs in 63 games; 7 of those home runs came in the 2009 postseason), but he hasn't been useful for a while now.

And I imagine teams are more hesitant to signing older veterans rather than just roll with younger players, but that's just a guess.

I mean, he's not exactly wrong. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I prefer triple crown stats over OPS+ and WAR and other boring ass bullshit. I'm sorry, I'd rather see hits than walks.

Jayson Werth??
Didn't he play against Rick Monday?

He actually looks a shitload like my BIL...

triple crown stats trump those stats anyway, because triple crowns are so rare.

They're not to blame for his demise, but his overall premise is right.

3 outcome baseball isn't my thing.

The fact that the Mets agree with you guys should make you reconsider.
