I'm fortunate that most of my friends I talk baseball with are open minded and if they are not keen to a lot of sabermetric analysis, they're curious to listen to me about some of the basics so they get a better understanding of baseball. And there are some of them who know enough that we can have enjoyable conversations about baseball every time. It's my brother I have to worry about. I've had to talk him down off the "Trade Starlin Castro" ledge several times now. Also had to convince him that Lester doesn't suck after his first start. And when I told him Soler was running into some bad luck despite hitting the ball hard, he said "Nobody cares about your moneyball [expletive], Logan".
