His takes are usually spot on so I for one will let him cook.

As the season gets later can’t you just put them in order of record and devide them into however many tiers you want?

Yes this is correct.   There will be less consternation as the season plays out.   A teams ability to stay healthy will be a major driver after the first 60-80 games.  The Tier metrics will quickly expose teams trending up or down due to injuries etc.

The Tier metrics did help spot trends early that surprised some.  Such as (20 games in) identifying Cleveland as a Playoff contender despite Angelfan1984 insistence to the contrary.   Or pegging early that 4 of 5 teams from the AL West as Tier 3 -5, which has also been solidified despite disbelief from Stegnac.

Golfing and happy he opted out of Perry's sh*t show.

Opted out now means fired. Thats cool.

C - game Blarg.  Weak.  You can do better. 
 

Another interesting Tier tidbit.   The initial metrics had The Brewers in Tier 1 and they have remained elevated with 5 wins in last 7 series.   Very few ID'd the Brewers as a playoff contender that early.

What is weak is you unable to accept that Nevin was released and he had no say so in the decision.

Your gif is weak.   You also should not brag on Perry's or Arte's decision making process.  It hasn't worked out too well (21-35).  Last year over .500 at this time.

I guess reigning NL manager of the year Skip Schumaker just sucks now, since his team is 21-36.

It’s not like talent or injuries have any effect on a team’s record.

Ok.  If that's our position around here, then I guess sure if you say so.

Opted out?

He was fired. It wasn’t his decision. He himself said he wanted to be back.

It’s amazing how you can’t accept that fact.

That seems to be your position, since you think the Angels poor record is because of the managerial change and not the injuries/talent loss.

Why can't both be true?
