I do like the guy, but "The Shredder" is pretty silly. I wish he would just naturally incorporate stats into his discussions instead of making a point to run every argument through the mega-supercomputer for validation. Not everything is black and white.
He's probably taking a dig at Brian Kenny on MLBN. I know he's a big analytics guy, almost insufferable, but I wasn't aware that he was solely responsible for the spread of sabremetrics among front offices around the league. And the best thing about the interview is that Phillips spends the whole time passive-aggressively ripping everything about Votto's game and doesn't realize it.
