laughedatbytime Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I guess it depends on how relevant the stat is. In the football coverage over here we get useless data like "team A hasn't beaten team B on a home game wearing their second uniform on a Wednesday in X years!".That is true, you need to know what's relevant. But while your example is a stat, I wouldn't call it an analytic.Granted...but even the analytic ones they come up with do not help much. Other examples include: "63,58% of the goals scored by player X during the second half in away games on week nights were headers".Name one that they've used that someone well versed in statistics would call an analytic that wasn't useful.

Babycat Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes but not over analytics (see Tim McCarver)...I don't think Tim McCarver understands a lot of the advanced analytics. Him and Joe Morgan. Out of the two of them, I've heard of Tim McCarver. Ps: I'd rather listen to the analytics as it helps me try to understand the tactics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
