Catcher's Corner: Do These Guys Suck? (no MLB players suck, but still...)

Sami (@Believe_Sami) and Eric (@SamskiNYC) go back to their roots and just talk baseball. They cover why some pitchers can be ineffective with elite stuff, why pitchers made suddenly lose feel for pitches, and what leads to hitting slumps. Along they way, they discuss a handful of slumping players and discuss when to trust what you see and when to use "the data."

RUNDOWN

- We discuss potentially coaching our kids, even though our kids are too young to be coached

- Sami is pissed that he went against his gut and dropped Bryson Stott. When do you trust what you see over the data points? If you limit yourself, which data should you use?

- Jack Suwinski tangent on how to use Statcast rolling windows
