Wedge's shot at know-it-all SABR dweebs who quit playing ball at age 9 was, IMO, a tossed-off, tongue in cheek comment that aroused more reaction than he anticipated. (It was not the most astute of PR moves, certainly.) It definitely livened the commentary in a dreary (lost 10 of last 12 games) Marinerville for the last 2 days. More significant, IMO, was Wedge's adament view that Ackley had to fix his problems at the MLB level, that going down to AAA would not work. Wedge is an experienced baseball man -- it baffles me how he could hold that opinion since Ackley's hitting has been declining since Sept 2011.
