On Thursday's edition of MLB Now, Hawk Harrelson joined Brian Kenny and Harold Reynolds to discuss his disdain of sabermetrics. Of course, Harrelson's appearance did nothing to prove his point (as you can tell in the video above), and drove fans up the wall. Here are some Real Tweets from Real People discussing Hawk's appearance…
#TWTW is embarrassing. Any white sox fan who believes this crap should be ashamed. I know I am @whitesox

Hey @whitesox, I'm a washed up ex-high school pitcher but my #TWTW is super high. Wanna sign me to a contract?

Hawk Harrelson becoming the spokesperson for anti-stats crowd is the best thing to ever happen to Sabermetrics.

"The Will to Win" starring Hawk Harrelson and the 2012-3 Arizona Diamondbacks roster overhaul

Yes, kind of a big deal. RT @castrocp Only thing worth measuring, to Hawk, is The Will to Win. I'd argue also batting & pitching & fielding

And finally, what *about* that will to win?
It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters. -Paul "Bear" Bryant
