Why Giants fans should have an open mind when it comes to launch angle

I know, I know. Real Giants fans don’t care about things like launch angle and on base percentage and scoring runs because the Giants won three World Series in five years without ever once considering those little things and all the teams that did haven’t won anything since the new stats craze began.

However! The Giants are not setup to win for the rest of the decade nor even part of the next one. Organizationally, they’re behind the times, and whenever that next great Giants team comes around, it’ll have incorporated some or even all of the newfangled numbers the fan base has been conditioned to resist, even hate.

Tim Flannery might not represent the team anymore, but he works for the media…
