Understand situational baseball, but humans cannot digest numbers like computers can. So you base the vast majority of your decisions based off data because it’s been ran thousands of times over if you’re getting and using the right data. You set what you data you think is important and gather players that fit that same data. You make decisions off it.
And heart and passion are things you look for before basing your decisions off baseball moves. You’re not going to sign a guy who fits a certain data suggestion but is a locker room cancer. Season is far to long for that
There definitely needs to be some kind of balance there. It’s just a tough gig being a Bengals and a Reds fan.
