On playoff odds, seasons being over or not, RISP, Davis Schneider, Cavan Biggio, catching depth, Vladdy, Tiedemann, Orelvis, Ohtani, Chris Colabello, the stupid Yankees, and more!
"That’s fandom, I suppose. Human nature." - you've hit the nail on the head Stoeten (what's new?). I've been trying to read a paper "Why are People Bad at Detecting Randomness? Because it is Hard" (easy to find on Google, and far above my reading level) and it has given me some sympathy for the RISP truthers. This Blue Jays season has forced us to confront the abyss of randomness more than most and I'm starting to get a sick sort joy watching others reason with it... I'll admit it's pleasure pales in comparison to watching Kevin Gausman throw a low fastball for a third strike looking or drinking a beer and remembering Vlad's 2021 season. One look at their high leverage/RISP sOPS+ tells us a lot, which makes me rather optimistic about what the next few weeks could hold!
What do you make of the Texas rangers sweeping the blue jays since they can't beat the worst of teams.Maybe, a little birdie helped semien with some info?Just wondering your analysis.I can't rationalize that sweep.
I cannot make any sense of this Blue Jays team or season.
I think it's best not to over-analyse.
