I don't have pills, no one feels too suffice

So say I've never lived, but I know I'm alive

You always say that I'm living in my head

But I will cry for you long after you're dead

Get simulated, I really get me down now

Hello

Hey Meg, what do you think about the state of baseball today?

I think it's in a really interesting place right now

There's been a lot of debate about the role of analytics

and how it's changing the way the game has played

Yeah, that's definitely a hot topic

I think the use of data in advanced metrics has had a big impact on the game

Both good and bad

Definitely, on the one hand, it's a lot of teams to make more informed decisions

and optimize their strategies, but on the other hand some people worry that it's taking the human element out of the game

That's a valid concern, I think it's important to strike a balance

and not let the numbers completely dictate how the game has played

Agreed, at the end of the day, baseball is still a game
