[Keegan] Chris Bassitt on being pulled after 81 pitches and 8 IP: “If you know me at all, I’ll fight analytics ’til I die. But I knew I had to face Alvarez in the ninth … I’m not sure if you know my numbers against him, but they’re not good.”

In his defense, not many folks have good numbers against Alvarez lmao.
Game respect game

I’ll fight math and science until I die!
I don’t care for analytics, well except for those analytics.
I think it was the right move.
Was a little scary when that fucker Dubon ripped Romano’s first pitch off the wall tho
guys like Bassitt are why I’ll never accept the “well he played in the majors, you didn’t” argument as valid. The dude knows more about pitching technicalities but that’s about it. “I’ll fight analytics til I die” is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard from a professional athlete. He makes an exception for the analytics simple enough for his smooth brain to understand, though.
Well he’s a dummy, but he’s a GOOD dummy.
