Whom do you trust?

So this article suggests that since their measure of release point hasn’t changed much for Aaron Harang, you should believe them in being skeptical that Harang is any better, not believe Balsley and Harang. Why? Why trust their measure of release point rather than a complete analysis of how the ball gets to that release point, which according to Balsley now gives more vertical motion to the ball than when Harang was having trouble in Cincinnati?

Shorter version: don’t believe everything you read.

Word

That dude spent like 2000 words and 3 graphs to say nothing.

I don’t think Harang is suddenly back to his Cy Young contending form, but I definitely trust Balsley and Harang’s thoughts on his mechanics more than that dude.

Yep. I trust Balsley and Harang...

…but more than that, the results.

This is a situation where the saying, "There are lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics," holds true

Especially since Sophist McWantstoargue is using a ridiculously small sample size to prove a point.

Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
