  1. How many times have we made a rook pitcher look like Cyrus H Young.
  2. A blown lead from Williams would be the pièce de résistance.
  3. When was the last time the ball was hit that far at American Family? (Robert’s HR)
  4. Those were a couple of quality pitches against Vaughn.
  5. I think that people often assume sabermetrics are highly predictive of success for one AB in a game. But that's where we see the limitations of sabermetrics because they are far more reflective of success with large sample sizes.
  6. I'm not sure what you mean by belief in actual statistics. Are you suggesting that they are the most important consideration in player evaluation, that their predictive value is the most important consideration in in-game decisions, or something else? You mention older posters and today's advanced stats, but of course the work of Bill James has been around for a long time. And even Bill James himself cautions about relying too much on advanced stats to make decisions about players. I agree advanced stats are a critical element of the game, but it's still a very human game for a lot of reasons, and why the game is played instead of determined by computer simulation. A good manager uses advanced stats, his knowledge of the game, his players, the opponent, etc. to win games. It's also worth noting that studies show that luck influences MLB games at the rate of 28 percent. Advanced stats won't help here either. But wearing your lucky t-shirt will.
  7. For me, the IGT is hugely entertaining when it involves good information, interesting observations, and especially humor. It’s also great to share the game experience, the highs and lows, with other Fanatics. When the IGT gets too negative, I step off for a while. No big deal
  8. Very satisfying win! Have a good evening, Fanatics!
