Mike Petriello said last week Savant will soon be putting out some bat path + bat speed data, so anyone in public following the game can also crunch some of that as well.
I generally believe anything that gets to Savant are data slices Eve, Sig and the staffs of the 30 Clubs feel like are table stakes.
Yan Gomes and Martin Maldonado look like the 35+ starters this Opening Day.
A few World Series championships I'd guess helps one's sense of inner peace around calling it a career early.
I will say, while I think he has a "playbook" that tells him and his coaches who is best in certain situations, I do think Hyde makes those calls during games.
I don't want to take away from what Hyde does as manager because I believe he most likely goes with the SIGBOT lineups. I do think he has a lot of "final" say in a lot of decisions and of course, his ability to manage his clubhouse is outstanding.
