I wasn't an A's fan before reading Moneyball because I wasn't a baseball fan before Moneyball. Try again. Have you even read Moneyball or have you read it and misunderstand the point behind the book like 95% of the people who read it? Seeing as you refuse to address the substance of any argument, I doubt you will answer this one, but please in one sentence describe the point of Moneyball. It should be easy for anyone who read the book and understands the book. Thank you in advance. |

Next thing you know Funk might actually understand what the fuck even he himself is posting. I'm curious to see which miracle occurs first.

It was factual reality. We have years of proof of your posts as such. Also please explain your 0% record in losing every single sports debate you've ever been in. Now THAT'S consistency. Ever. You're the penultimate Yewt "fan". It's okay for you to pretend otherwise though. In the meantime I'll think of another easy bet that you're a big enough dumbshit to fall into that I can take advantage of, but then taking candy from babies would be more difficult than that.

1) I stated that the A's will hold the rights to Michel Inoa what is most likely the most productive years of his career 21 through approximately 28. 2) I gave you the details on MLB rookie salary contracts (3 years until arbitration eligible and 6 years until free agency eligible) 3) You stated the A's wouldn't likely have his best years 4) I gave studies on when pitchers begin to decline to support my argument that the A's will likely have Inoa through his best years 5) You throw out insults. In this whole thing you are the one who made up that I was making a claim that the A's would keep him after free agency. If he ends up being great it is unlikely that the A's hold onto him after his free agency years. He is likely a 6-7 year player for the A's. I'm very happy with this because that means we get his best years. I'm still waiting on your thoughts on Moneyball. |

Moneyball hasn't won the A's a World Series yet much less got them to it. Cue Funk's excuse that only the teams who're lucky win the World Series.

Not really. I hang out on message boards, don't I?

It isn't excuse that only teams who are lucky win the World Series. When no statistical study can really show what factor wins in the playoffs, it becomes clear that luck is a major factor. Read the chapter Why Billy Beane's Shit Doesn't Work in the Playoffs in Baseball Between the Numbers. Oh wait, you refuse to acknowledge anything that doesn't conform to your preconceived notions. |
