Idiotic Harold Reynolds remark

I was trapped in the car this morning listening to Boomer and Cartman on the Fan.  They had Harold Reynolds on and he said the Yankees were making a huge mistake by moving Joba to the rotation.  His logic was jaw-dropping. He said that since the Yankees were 37-9 (or something like that) in games in which Joba appears as a reliever,  and since Joba could appear in 50 more games this season as a reliever, the Yankees were essentially giving up 40 wins by moving him to the rotation. In the rotation he might only help win 15 more games.

The erudite Boomer and Cartman complimented Reynolds on putting numbers to their gut feeling about the decision.  All agreed it was a historic blunder.

I'm sure Mike and the Mad Dog aren't much better.  Just because somebody has numbers, doesn't mean those numbers are right.  When oh when are intelligent voices going to appear on sports radio? When oh when am I going to stop listening and just put on NPR?

Isn't there an ass that Harold Reynolds...

...needs to grab somewhere?

He’s a moron, and statistical analysis is not his thing. His “logic” makes aboslutely no sense whatsoever.

My advice to you is, please step away from the FAN… nothing good will come of it.

Harold Reynolds

Although I vehemently disagree with HR on this issue, I have to give him a pass because I loved him on Baseball Tonight. Frankly, that show hasn’t been the same since he left.

For the exception of Ravech (whom I like), the regulars on that show sucks compared to the old days of Reynolds, Olney, Kurkjian, Gammons, Stark, Dave Campbell, Rob Dibble, etc., etc. A few these guys still appear on the show, but not nearly as often anymore. It used to be an All Star cast almost every night.

Hershiser is okay, but I’ve never been a fan of Kruk, Eric Young (who might be the worst of them all), Destrade, Eduardo Perez, and Fernando Vina. Not exactly the same star power.

It’s a shame, too because that show used to be can’t miss viewing and now I rarely watch it at all.

Is that still on?

I used to watch BB Tonight religiously, but after the departure of Reynolds and some sorry additions, I lost interest. Now I might catch it in passing… on my way to the can.
