I’m impressed you identified your own fallacy yet stuck to it nonetheless. Down south they call that gumption

Is tequila ok?

If it’s flu like symptoms it’s probably Covid. Anti cOvid measures have been more effective in stopping the spread of flu than Covid.

They really need to go back to the canvas bags.

The real question is why is he playing over Robert

You’re comparing the competitor with the arbiter. No one is watching for the performance of an umpire

99.99999999999% is a trillion just like 0.01% is one in ten thousand, as per your actual claims. How am I making that up? If models are a trillion times more accurate then there can’t have been a couple times they missed

Steiver to face their best lefties, Crochet to face their best righties. Brilliant

He got a base hit so it must have been considering that was the objective. I don’t know if you actually watched the game but Grandals bunting technique was clearly superior to anyone else who has attempted to bunt for the Sox this year. Whether setting up Hamilton and Madrigal was a good idea is another question entirely

Well bunting is one of the few things I’ve seen Grandal do well, so perhaps there’s a possibility tlr knows something your perusal of stats didn’t find

Nobody walks to prepare for a marathon. Playing soft toss would be the analogy to walking compared to a marathon. There are tons of pitchers who have after spending the year rebuilding arm strength following TJS recovery have pitched a normal workload. That’s the reason it takes an extra year after healing. But Kopech has had an extra year on top of that

Grandal’s bunting technique looked perfect though. Maybe instead of looking at a stat TLR looked at the apparent fact Grandal has the ability to bunt

Rodon didn’t have the extra year Kopech had. Basically your claim here is the eight game innings Rodon threw last year was the difference in allowing him to go 100+ pitched and Kopech only able to throw 40.

I’m not sure throwing 97 mph fastballs in a bullpen vs 97 in a game is analogous to walking vs. running a marathon

Dude has been building arm strength for more than two years now. The idea he can’t throw innings is ludicrous. His arm should be stronger than ever.

If there are a couple players that a scout gets that a model misses, that’s a lot more than 1/trillion. Kind of like your claim that the odds of a play going under review in a single half inning is 1/10,000. For a guy obsessed with statistical models, you are really bad at math

That was shoulder high

Except he’s batting .265

Throwing a baseball at somebody in the stands is assault plain and simple

Good thing we traded this bum

One in a trillion? Somehow I am doubting your statistic here

I thought Cease was scheduled for tonight but whitesox.com has starter listed as tbd.

It’s really not though. It’s almost completely invalid due to the reason I cited above. A .400 obp is nowhere close to equivalent to a .400 slg, so adding them together is basically pointless

OPS is deeply flawed in that it simply adds two numbers that are of different scales. A .400 OBp is vastly superior to .400 SLG, but according to OPS they’re the same. It would be better if there were a stat for (TB + BB + hbp)/PA
