LOL. I usually post something like this in a thread, but today's argument was CLASSIC. Steve Phillips is trying to argue with Max, but of course, fails. Then he goes the route of saying stats don't play baseball, sabermetrics is stupid, blah blah blah... and, the whole time, Max is as cool as the other side of the pillow.
Anyways, check out this podcast.
It's the 7/30 podcast. It starts about at 9:40 and they're talking about relief pitching.
Thoughts after listening to it?

I was thinking about posting this myself...
an amazing discussion especially for Saber-nerds like AJM.

that's a good one
but there was so many good ones in that exchange, it was excellent stuff by Max.
Josh Hamilton is better than you.

heh
Kellerman just owns Phillips. That’s good stuff.
I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

+1
Kellerman should have his own show on TV.

Yeah.
Kellerman is very, very smart, and very, very good in certain situations. Radio, he’s money. Boxing, he’s the best there is (maybe save Lampley).
But for some reason it hasn’t translated to TV.

He's
Great at talking boxing.
Lampley is good as the straight man to Merchant’s constant talking-out-of-the-ass-and-mixing-in-stupid-ill-fitting-metaphors bit, but I think Max has got him on that count.
He was the original Around the Horn guy right? I’ve always been bored by that show, but he seemed just as good as the douche on there now.

Yep...
I remember when they started Around the Horn, he was the original guy. Not a bad show, sometimes can be entertaining.

I did love Merchant's interviews in the ring though after
the fights.

Wow
You just said Lampley is good at doing boxing.
He and Merchant need to be deported. They’re both terrible, though Merchant is about a billion times worse. He’s senile and stupid.

won't work
ESPN and FOX will throw a fit if he talks ‘sabermetric’ stuff…
Look at Brian Kenny, to his credit he tries to say some stuff, but usually just goes with the flow..
Josh Hamilton is better than you.

Very true.
Kellerman is 100x times better than some of the people employed by ESPN.

HAHAHAH
Max and Sam Kellerman rapping old school this is hilarious. Especially when Max raps.

are you guys serious??
or being sarcastic?? living in New York, I was forced to listen to this joker.. He is such a yankee homer, how can you guys listen to him? I will agree that he is probably one of the best boxing analyst around. But when it comes to anything else, he needs to recede to his “Around the Horn” persona and let the big boys talk and just comment when needed. Thats the only reason he has a job in NYC, because all that flaps out of his mouth is how good the yankees are (which could be debated based on the fact the Rangers are a couple games back) he talks like its the yankees of the late 90s.. And I wont even get into his post-super bowl giants shows that were so unlistenable I started listening to Colin Cowherd (who is equally annoying and moronic) because even the NY fans in my office wont listen to his ridiculousness.. fill me in on what im missing about Kellerman that makes him likable…
