You are right about Dusty Blake. But the game has changed. It’s not just a Cardinals thing. Metrics and anylitics play a large role in every teams strategy. I been watching or listening to pretty much every Cardinals game, plus reading and discussion, for 57 years. Embrace the game the way its played today or whine about the good old days and the “eye test”. But you aren’t going to make it go away. Read some information and study the new metrics. You might be surprised and enjoy the challenge of viewing the game from a different set of statistics than we did when we were kids.
