>>157751202They should modify the facial hair policy to where every player must shave the morning of the season opener, and they can grow it out for the rest of the season if they desire to do so. And when a player is acquired through trade, they must shave the morning of their first game with the Yankees, and they can grow it out for the rest of the season.
>>157751248
A Rician broken bat. Kino sound thoughever.

Who is a current mlb player you would say is the "sleeziest" player.

>it is still looking likely that the winner of the AL West, the team that will have a higher seeding in the playoffs than at least two AL East teams, could finish the season with a losing recordSURELY Manfred would do something about this division if that happened, right???
>>157752297looks like he would be a bad CGI creature from a fantasy flick. maybe a fairy or goblin.
>>157752640no, it's important the AL West team plays at home in that scenario because they need to be humiliated for forcing us to watch that.
>>157752640Their bye will be awarded to the New York Yankees for showing Hustle & Heart.
>>157752640He's going to rig it so the Angels dominate the division with their new owner.Expect them to get the #1 draft pick in 2027.
>>157752590Sadly, Yankee fans rooted for this team to miss the playoffs. I am dedicating this point to them. Who are you pointing to tonight?

>>157754050I agree. the season is long and brutal. I was just making a shitpost since some salty zoomers do seem to be believe it.
>>157753963At least /r/edit had individualized game threads unlike this generalized hellscape. Literally the only reason anyone still uses this site is because it’s uncensored.
>>157754067I fucking hate zoomers
>>157754048Grumpy cat in 2029? Based.
>>157754072I like that I can be watching one game and then there's a flood of posts telling me something happened somewhere else. Reddit might be better functionally but the trooned out userbase makes it not worth it
>>157754072I'm used to it here and I'm fine with it. I imagine if people wanted to be in dedicated game threads they'd be able to find them wherever. it's pretty obvious by now not enough of us here care about them.
I’m reading tutelage from some 4chan 40 year old virgin and I’m the problem.
>>157754072>Literally the only reason anyone still uses this site is because it’s uncensoredtheres nowhere else on the web like this
>>157754092True in theory but there’s too many dodgers and Yankees fans here that attention whore for their own teams’ games.Also, Reddit has its fair share of spaghetti code. Simply trying to make a video full screen usually crashes the site. Not even joking.
>>157754102passive/aggressive one-off posts are unironically a problem. if the people making them actually had any sack, they would directly confront the posters they had an issue with.
Imagine the smell.

>>157754116It’s nice to be able to say nigger without repercussion.
>>157754136ofc but it's unrealistic to expect dedicated gamethreads for regular season baseball games. maybe for a handful of big games but there just isn't enough interest.
>and (you) wonder why (you)'re at the bottom of the food chain

Late night /mlb/ is quite nice. Makes for a nice change from all the vitriol and hatred when there are games on.

>>157754293not a sneksfan, just like the sneksfrens herewant them to make the wildcard since it has no bearing on my gards
>>157754366I’m fairly certain the pirates generational failures combined with the Steelers success was a major factor in football overtaking baseball as the national sport.
>>157754339guys we need to make the next foreign flag that walks in here a pirates fanstop telling the foreigns to follow the dodgers and mariners
>>157754371Eh there weren’t gonna get past *checks notes*The Kansas City Royals.

>>157754406Might be the most wide open season in baseball history. Maybe that's why they won it.

>>157754401
>>157754409rob's learned a lot since his rookie year
>>157754409The season to point to to argue against a salary cap
>>157754384most of the foreign flags that stick here are kind of fully formed sports fans that want to get into baseball and sort of take to a team more naturally than just picking whoever they think is the best team.
>>157754383and also the fact that NFL makes sure fans can always watch their home team
>>157754413Oh god, please no more dodgers fan. We need to convince the next foreign flag they they’re the committing a genocide.
>>157754423idk last two flags that have waltzed in picked a team within 48hrs took me like 8 months
>>157754422Would that benefit the owners?
also the foreigners that join my other gennys pick a team very quickly too

>>157754442If I see a flag and I don't know your team you have done well. You have done well.Japan has failed us.Portugal has failed us.
>>157754434It’s easy when all they see is midwesterners who have been within 500 miles of LA all supporting the same team
>>157754446What benefits the owners?
>>157754434maybe a little capricious but the decisions were pretty definitive and stuck with. also, seemed consciously decided against rooting for known powerhouses. I think more "genuine" sports fans are like that. the ones that get into it to get a break from other hobbies seem a little more sus to me.

>>157754501the only jeet flag posting here shits on the dodgers, retard
>>157754422The real reason MLB owners want a cap isn't because of the Dodgers or baseball being pay to win, it's because NFL and NBA have seen +160% increases in team valuation in the last 5 years while MLB is around 50%-60% increase and it's mainly because NFL and NBA have capped labor costs. Same reason owners want to downsize the minors and get colleges to develop the younger players and cut costs, and yes owners are willing to lose a season over this because the increase in team valuation from a salary cap will make up for the lost revenue.
>>157754514>sri lanka erasure Sad
>>157754515>increases in team valuationalso the reason owners weren't loudly losing their shit about what the dodgers have been doing. they see how much more valuable the dodgers have become since the Guggenheim purchase.

>>157754839Hes the rays one im pretty sure. showed up during world cup when the brit flags were split and then has kinda gone awol
Whenever I see an aussie flag posting, I imagine they look like this
Edwin Diaz might not make the post season roster for the Dodgers. What a lemon. >>157754854This but bald.
>>157754854thats a womanim a man
>>157754861honestly, probably a blessing in disguise the way he was 'saving' gamesshame about the huge price tag, but imagine him blowing leads in a playoff situation
>>157754861Diaz isn't going to make it. hopefully he can fix his shit in the offseason. at least Bubic looks like he has a shot.
Feel kinda bad for Mariners then I remember they allied with the Mets. You would expect better situational awareness from a fanbase subjected to Seattle's specific brand of frustration
>>157754912I used to like the Mariners before I came here. One specific poster has made me revel in their misery now.
>>157754912I just really hate the city of Seattle, the Mariners fans on /mlb/ are funny in a self deprecating way

>>157754515I'm sure that's the thinking behind the owners now. But ownership has been trying to institute a salary cap since the early 70s. They and the players union have been fighting over this for close to 60 years, ever since the Reserve Clause was struck down. And they've been fighting over player salaries as far back as 1890.
It would be really cool if the Padres and DBacks were tied for the final series. Still cool if they were within striking distance.

>>157756343The TV issue is pro cap
right now, a .500 baseball team would be>0.5 games back in the American League (Junior Circuit)>7 games back in the Nation League (Senior Circuit)but I don't understand how this disparity would get worse after the NL adopted the designated hitter. there's literally no difference between the two leagues, and it's really hard to say that the NL teams are more attractive because of, what, location? are better owners that give out friendlier deals concentrated in the NL? the mets just got eliminated while the mariners (same record btw) have an E# of 7. I don't get why.
When would next year’s lockout have to end in order for them to play the season? If it ends in July, would they play an 81 game season?
>>157756365The two leagues constantly flip back and forth. How they perform in any one year doesn’t really have an impact on the value of the individual teams.

>>157756575Chances are they’ll still bounce back in 3 years at the latest. Plus, playing in an awful league might actually raise a team’s value since it would be easier to make the playoffs.

>>157756795I ain’t even a Rockies fan so the screenshot will not embarrass me. But I’ll be correct anyway.
>>157756813No but the Rockies are going to acquire so much talent this off-season (and further develop their existing talent) that they will form a team to rival the Dodgers. It’ll be a close divisional race for sure but I’m confident the Rockies will prevail.

>>157757318Is it just me or does look a lot like Boone?
>>157757331Baseball isn’t any more or less random than other sports.
>>157753338Yea they pushed out my team
>>157757364Your POBO/GM/VP nerd boy did that when he decided to build a team that has to play fiddle to a $111M roster.
>>157757364That was the most enjoyable end to a season I’ve ever seen. All the Nets had to do was beat the Marlins and they couldn’t even do that. KEK. LFGP
>>157757349fact check: falseany mlb that makes the postseason has a much more realistic chance at winning than the other major sports. its basically impossible in the nba and nhl because you have to play so many games. in the nfl its always an elimination game so more plausible. but mlb games are much more like dice rolls, and even though the season is so long, the postseason is way too short which lends itself to happenstance. every series should be 7 games and get rid of these retarded one game wildcard playoffs
>>157751083a lot of other teams could spontaneously come down with HIV and become ineligible (it's in the rules)
>>157757383It’s not even the first time that exact scenario has played out >>157757380Am I blaming anyone? No, fuck David Stearns, he sucks.
>>157757386Yeah, I thought so. And football does seem a little more random with the 1 game elimination.
>>157757390Is he a Brewer double agent?
>>157757388I fucked her
>>157757386This simply isn’t true. Every sport has some element of randomness. The only reason people think baseball in particular has so much randomness is because the regular season is so long. If the NFL season was 162 games (if we could wave a wand to make injuries non-existent, of course), the same people would be saying “football is so random!!!!!!11111!!!1111!!!!!” when, no it’s not, not anymore tang any other sport. Playing that many games simply results in weird days for every team.
>>157757390>it’s not even the first time that exact scenario has played out It was more enjoyable because it was the Mets
>>157757429do you think a football team could fluke a 7 game series
>>157757429It's regarding the 3 and 5-game elimination series that cause the variance.
>>157757448Yeah? Why couldn’t they?
Guys...how are the mariners going to get back into the playoff race?
>>157757450So if the Super Bowl was a best of three series, that would lead to randomness?
>>157757470How do we tell him?
>>157757441I’m saying it’s happened with the Mets and Marlins before
>>157757463you think pete carroll would call for a throw on the 1 yard line with 26 seconds left instead of giving the ball to beast mode for 7 games in a row?
>>157757499When?
>>1577575152007
>>157757480It would lead to less variance because it's starting from a point of 1 single game elimination though still be fairly varied. I'm not saying I'm correct, just explaining my statement.
>>157757501How does one tard moment from a manager disprove my point?
>>157757519I was a toddler, wouldn’t remember
>>157757521So then you’re saying football is just as random as any other sport?
>>157756365Think of it like this, NL is Big 10, AL is SEC. NL is more attractive
>>157757532I'm not using that phrase. I am talking strictly about statistical variance in sports.
>>157757540What’s SEC, bruh?
>>157757522they only play 1 game so 1 tard moment can fluke a game so it appears as randombut in baseball they play 7 games and still have flukeswhich btw you didn't dispute so you actually admit that baseball is at least 7 times more fluky than football
>>157757543That’s exactly my point. Variance is just a fact of sport.
>>157757553There is more variance in football than in baseball and more variance in baseball than in other sports besides football.
>>157757552A tard moment doesn’t mean a fluke, it just means tard moment. And those two teams were super evenly matched anyway. I did dispute it when I said that a 7 game series in the NFL playoffs wouldn’t lead to less flukes. It wouldn’t matter if it were a 51 game series, there would still be flukes. Don’t put words in my mouth, Danish jeet.
>>157757470They need to win 9 of 11 to have any shot. Running the table gives them a decent chance of winning the division, but even then they need help.
>>157757586There would still be flukes but there chance of impacting the entire series would be limited. Are you retarded anon?
>>157757586so how come teams can go undefeated in the NFL but an all time great MLB regular season team still lose 30% of their games?by your logic a team should be able to go 162-0
>>157757619Yes I am, but that doesn’t have an effect on my argument. There would still be flukes. It would operate under the same principle as teams getting hot during the regular season.
>>157757623That’s just too many damn games to go undefeated. If the NFL season was 162 games, there wouldn’t be any undefeated teams. And, on the contrary, if the MLB season was 16 games, there would be undefeated teams. I’m starting to think you’re trolling.
>>157757639 OK, so your point is that baseball is just as random as other sports but you’re actually wrong because baseball is extremely varied in outcomes. I mean seriously what is your point?
>>157757660All sports have flukes and an element of randomness but it’s still talent and skill that usually win. Baseball has just as many flukes as other sports which is not a whole lot.
>>157757675OK, what is your point?
>>157757675>All sports have flukesbaseball just have more
>>157757681My point is that these people are wrong to say baseball is more random than other sports. I was originally replying to >>157757331
missed the game last night, unfortunately, as I was reading Plato with a friend. happy to see Benge and Ewing's production, as well as Tong's stat line. did his control look decent? was the curve and cutter effective along with the 4S and change?hopefully we see Lindor hit #300 this series. I hope Pete does it soon as well, but I'd like for us to mow him down while he's playing against us
>>157757700No, baseball has the same amount. THAT’S THE POINT.
>baseball does not have more flukes because all sports have flukesare you black by any chance?
>>157757703What are the other sport(s)? is it more varied than table tennis? How about figure skating?What an odd generalized statement. Sure, it's not as varied as football. But it's still proven to be highly varied. I don't think anyone cares that it's more or less varied than anything. The point is that it's varied enough to generate varied outcomes on a yearly basis and that's bad.
>>157757675>takent and skill usually winIn baseball, a team’s true talent level can only be determined by their regular-season record and how much excitement the plays that they make generate (ex: walk off grand slam generates tangible excitement while an inning-ending double play generates negative excitement). And there have been an overwhelming majority of times when the team with the highest talent level does not win playoff games. So your whole spiel about talent and skill usually winning is totally incorrect.
>>157757703baseball is more random because of 2 reasons:1) there are more actions happening, meaning there are more plays2) there are more games that compound the greater amount of action per playbaseball is both inherently more chaotic and more inherent by virtue of a greater number of dataof course, that also means that the randomization is more easily navigable and regression toward the mean is more predictable
>>157757709So you really think talent and skill have zero bearing here on the playoffs? Really? If that were true, then why would every player’s dream be to win the World Series? Also, you contradicted yourself. You said “the overwhelming majority of times, the team with the highest skill level does not win playoff games”. So you think there is a negative correlation between playoff success and skill? I’m sorry but that’s retarded. And, if the playoffs were truly random, that would mean the highly skilled teams would win just as much as the low skilled teams. It would be 50/50.
>>157757712I’m as white as they come. And you’re misunderstanding again. I’m saying that baseball does have flukes, but only just as many flukes as other sports do.
>>157757726I meant other team sports, really just the big ones like hockey, basketball and football. >the point is that it's varied enough to generate varied outcomes on a yearly basis and that's badSounds like you don’t like baseball… so why are you even here?
>>157757756>>157757734
>>157757765oh so you're a liberal
Baseball is so random lol
>>157757756Let me tell you what my statement is based on OK. Since 1999, we have an incredible accumulation of regular season data and corresponding postseason outcomes. So since 1999 the only teams (based on their true talent level, which in this case is the regular season record + their excitement generated) those teams have only won a handful of times since 1999: they won in 2004, in 2009, in 2017, in 2018, in 2020, and also 2024. And this is beside the point, but you can make the argument that 2017/2018 and 2020 shouldn’t even really be considered because for the simple fact that well teams were using unfair advantages in 2017 and 18 and also there was a shortened season for 2020. Based on this selection of teams, we can conclude that the overwhelming majority of the time the most talented team, does not win the World Series/playoff games you can refute that if you want, but these are my points.
>>157757748Not denying that the number of games leads to randomness, but that would be the same for every sport if it had the same number of games as baseball. Also, I’d actually argue football and hockey have more moving parts per play than baseball. Football have basically every player on the field in a full on sprint every play and there is a ton of timing involved with the quarterback timing throws and the running back timing gaps. And hockey players have less control of the puck since it’s on ice, leading to randomness.
>>157757791Alright, trolling europoor. Go back to having to beg your government for permission to own firearms, lol.
baseball is so random that a team who knew which pitches were coming still lost a 7 game series twice
>>157757827Lmao.
>>157757793Silence, jeet.
>>157757813see the first point
Everyone who disagrees with me is a jeet.
>>157757794Yes, this is true, but it goes for other sports as well which is exactly my point. Usually the best NFL team does not win the Super Bowl. And, even in the MLB, the World Series winner is usually one of the two top seeds in each league. The four top teams are so evenly matched that the outcome can’t even really be called a fluke anyway.
>>157757850chances are we all have a little bit of jeet in us. indus valley is one of the oldest civilizations, alexander's civilization mixed with them heavily, and ranjit singh's sikh empire was highly regarded in its day (and visited by westerners)
>>157757850Damn straight, jeet.
>>157757887>the World Series winner is usually one of the two top seeds in each league. The four top teams are so evenly matched that the outcome can’t even really be called a fluke anyway.What an absolutely retarded statement “The World Series winner is usually one of the remaining seven teams in the playoffs” No shit Sherlock. Also not true.
>>157757837Uhhhhh I responded to the first point?
>>157754302Why do you think of Recker’s fat ass constantly?
>>157757910Not what I meant. I said the World Series winner is usually one of the two TOP SEEDED TEAMS in each league, meaning one of the two teams with the best regular season records that year.
>>157757813>>157757919my apologies, my excellent fellowfootball has fewer plays though it's certainly more explosive on average per playhitting a baseball is much harder than completing a pass. this is why you are an elite hitter if you can consistently hit .300 (70% fail rate). no other sport has something that matches that sort of "low" mark as a reflection of how difficult the activity ishockey is inherently less random due to greater control time. baseball is not about control - it's about constantly dodging the other person's ability to even potentially take control
>>157757939Top four because they compete in the league championship series. And also because the third division winner is usually a meh team.
>>157757932How’d you know it’s the same nigga that said that? You a jannie?
Metjeets headed to Cancun
>>157757948But then that would make football more random. If a bad team can complete a huge number of passes, then that leaves the door open to flukes. But if even a good team fails 70% of their at-bats while a bad team fails maybe as high as 85-90%, then that’s a huge difference that can further be exacerbated by pitching. Also, I’m not sure what you mean by control time and dodging another team’s ability to take control.
>>157757986What can be done about this?
flockie jeet makes no sense
>>157757827Are you actually retarded? Even a football team that knew which plays the opposition was running would be capable of losing a 7 game series. It doesn’t make up for skill or athletic ability.
>>157758001football is not more random because football - nor any other sport - has something like baseball where a high watermark of success is a 70% failure rate. that inherently introduces tons of realized chaosalso, a baseball game will have, at minimum, 54 plate appearances. that is generally equivalent to the number of passes both quarterbacks make in a fairly active game while that is the absolute minimum, least active baseball game (concerning hitting vs passing). it would not even be comparable if we compare passing attempts to pitching attemptslastly, we must not conflate a hitter with a team; that is a parts-and-whole fallacy. an elite hitter consistently fails less than about 70% of the time. an elite hitting team consistently fails less than about 74% of the time. despite that seeming like a small percentage, it is a massive variablefor instance, the Rays have the highest BA this season at around .260: https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/teamno team fails 85-90% of the time, but I think the point you mean to make supports the argument for baseball being inherently more random since failing even marginally more (by percentage) is actually a massive difference by raw numbersby control time & dodging another team's ability to take control, I mean that the purpose of baseball is to deny the other team an opportunity to even make a play. to put it in football terms, you optimally want to make it such that the quarterback never encounters resistance. in baseball terms, that means a pitcher's baseball, once thrown, is ideally never made contact with to begin a contact-induced play. chasing that purity introduces an incalculable amount of randomness
>>157757938Out of roughly 30 seasons since modern playoffs began, a "Top 2 vs. Top 2" matchup has only happened about 20% of the time.
>>157757938In the other 80% of seasons, at least one league's top two seeds got knocked out early by a lower-seeded division winner or a hot Wild Card team before they could even reach the World Series.
Lauren is ovulating
>>157758047What does generating excitement have to do with skill? That only correlated to revenue from fans, not team success. Usually the two top teams in each league are pretty evenly split even if one league is awful. Just look at the AL this year, their two top seeds are pretty even with the NL’s two top seeds. The four top seeds is not a wide net to cast when there are 30 teams total and 12 make the playoffs.
Holy fuck dude, stop deleting your posts.
>>157758060The Bucs would've swept the Raiders 4-0 in the Gruden bowlso you're wrong again
>>157758091because excitement generated is based on the plays that are made so a walk off grand slam shows skill because it is a walkoff grand slam, and that thus leads to excitement a team that is fumbling around on the field does not lead to excitement it leads to negative excitementA no hitter generates positive excitement because of the nature of the skill implied. It is a rare feat. Grounding into a double play to end your World Series generates negative excitement because it is a unskilled outcome
Excitement is directly generated by skillful plays.
>>157758091it is a wide net cast because you’re equating the success of four teams as one entity when in reality out of those four teams three of them got eliminated. It’s a 75% failure rate. You’re pretty much using guaranteed success out of a large group of individual team teams, and ignoring the fact that the majority of those individual teams are actually unsuccessful.
all forms of hitting require some luck except bunts which are 100% skill
Luck sequencing is not a sustainable form of hitting
>>157758064You discuss offense a lot but I think you’re completely negating pitching. Baseball is pretty much the only game that favors the defense, that’s why elite hitters fail 70% of the time. Elite starters and bullpens keep the randomness down. Team success is often more so tied to pitching than offense, it’s why the Nationals did fuck all this year and why the Jays lost the World Series despite out scoring los doyers. A pitcher aim is to keep plate appearances down to the minimum, thus reducing randomness. Starting pitchers (even though there are five) essentially have the same level of importance in baseball as the quarterback does in football. We can therefore say that baseball is no more random than football because both sports place tremendous importance on one position (something I forgot to mention is that football is random partially because the quarterback is a make-or-break). Kinda conflated teams be players but it was more so a hypothetical. A few points in BA having a massive impact reduced randomness though because it means a great team is exponentially better than a bad team. And it means a good team is still better than a mediocre team. Sorry if this came off as a little rude, wasn’t my intention.
>baseball is nothing but RNG luck sabermetrics with no heart or soul left now and lottery crapshoot luck of the draw playoffsI feel sorry for you youngins now. This shit used to be really fun. Hell even before pitch clock you could just enjoy the vibes of the announcers and crowd.. now everything is optimized as fuck. The future sucks.
>>157758111They were both among the top two seeds in their league, that is a negligible difference. I don’t even get what you’re trying to say here.
I think cheese STINKS
>>157758230The postseason IS a random number generator, though.
>>157758117All of that is correct but how exciting a team is does not correlate with their playoff success, it only correlates to how their fans view the team.
>>157758230What does sabermetrics have to do with the playoffs having variance? Just take your trip off you're making Yankees fans look retarded and slow.
cheese?
>>157758222>you’re completely negating pitchingyour argument fails at the first instance as your premise is provably false. I emphasized that the optimal outcome in baseball hinges on uninteractable pitchingpitching is not inherently defensive. a true ace is its own form of offensive which overlaps with defense, i.e., the best defense is a good offenseanon, do you watch baseball? genuine question because many of the things you say are factually untrue. and I think it is in your best interest to be intellectually honest about that and withdraw from such a protracted debate when you don't understand the nature of a subject that your argument requires knowledge of
>>157758147Yes, 75% are unsuccessful because one of them is the best. My point is the regular season directly correlates to playoff success if the four best records are last to be eliminated.
>>157758268Cheese eaters are disgusting
>>157758262no, that’s exactly my point. The best team doesn’t always win the World Series and when I say the best team I’m talking about their true talent level as determined by the record and excitement they generate doesn’t always win. Take a look at this image from the 2015 playoffs one of the most electric and skilled moments in modern baseball history. This team practically got swept in the next round after this photo was taken.
This is a cheese genny
>>157758285It's a baseball genny. Keep your spoiled milk out of it
>>157758269I mean, yeah, the best offense is a good line of defense but that doesn’t really apply here. Pitchers are defense because they’re directly limiting the offense from scoring runs. Also, I love baseball, what? Of course I watch it. I had a psychotic obsession with it from fall of 2023 to the fall of 2024.
>>157758285I'm going to fuck the padre mouse
>>157758271If the playoffs truly correlated with the regular season, the top four seeds would consistently dominate the penultimate round. Instead, MLB's bracket acts as a highly volatile tournament where regular-season dominance is routinely erased in the opening week of October.
>>157758320which is why we don't need as many wildcard teams as we have. 4 divisions in each league, an LDS round and an LCS round. already 162 games, don't need to milk it farther
>>157758294Cheese is good for your soul
>>157758307I didn't say the best offense is good defense; I said the best defense is good offense. these are complementary but not necessarily equivalent terms. pitchers, especially aces, are known for "attacking" the zone. they "challenge" the hitter with velocity, rotations, horizon/vertical movement, and mind games - in sum, it is an aggressive battle of psyches (e.g., deception) and physicality (e.g., heat)no ace will tell you that they are going out there to play defense. they are going out there to raze the other team to the ground, a happy byproduct of which is limiting the other team's ability to impose its will. this would be akin to calling a rear naked chokehold submission defense because it limits the opponent's ability to produce offense. no - the more accurate term is imposition of willpower, which is inherently an offensive trait which coincidentally provides defense-consistent outcomesI am surprised that you love baseball and granted that bad teams can fail 90% of the time. I don't believe a single team in the centuries of recorded baseball has batted .100 over a seasonregardless, I appreciate your engagement. it is productive to think about things as esoteric as probability factors and confounding variables in sporthave a nice day, my good man
>>157758230Exactly. The sport being entirely random would be boring as fuck. These niggas hate baseball
