Computers Ruined the 2020 World Series

This is above Major League Baseball. This is above the World Series. This is personal. Analytics have officially hit his tipping point and ruined our beautiful game. We as a collective, baseball fans, from all around the world were robbed of potential greatness. 73 pitches into Blake Snell's start, Kevin Cash has the nerve to ruin pitching theatre for the rest of us. Everything we, sports fans, have gone through in 2020 and in the 6th inning of a 1-0 game, Snell allowed his second hit and Kevin had the audacity to take the ball from Snell's left arm. Every baseball fan felt Snell when he yelled "Fucking guy." Who could ever forget, before 5G, before nerds took over baseball front offices, Madison Bumgarner single handily won the SF Giants a World Series. Not on analytics, with grit and heart. Three days rest, loud crowds on the road, none of that mattered. In October 2014, no team was going to stop MadBum from being great, even the third time through Royals lineup. I guess we have Bruce Bochy to thank for that. Here in 2020, Dodgers win the series in 6 game and the MVP of the World Series for the Los Angelas Dodgers goes to the clown face Kevin Cash. Who had all the answers to the test but analytics team put in the scantron upside down.
