It's time to stop asking Ruben Amaro about the Phillies and analytics

The Phillies are doing their thing, and Ruben Amaro is doing his. It's as simple as that.

The parting of a general manager and a team seems to have never been so closely monitored as theirs, however, and today's spring training match-up, pitting the Phillies against Amaro's new team, the Red Sox, was bound to birth some pithy quotations.

Reporters didn't hold back, getting Amaro to speak not just on the Phillies - a topic it's probably time for people to let go of - but on analytics, something that RAJ's administration in Philadelphia has long been criticized of ignoring or denying.
