iamshack Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) Because the sum of all of our pitching and hitting isn't statistical evidence, but the individual data points which make up those totals is, but only when they prove your own side. Genius. And yes I am telling that a team struggling at home statistically is going to produce the end result of the team struggling at home to win. I'm not sure what other conclusion you would gather from those statistics. You know, there are smokers who have cancer that didn't get it from smoking cigarettes...

Exceptions to the rule? Nah, those can't happen right. You mean like the five or so individual stats that were cherry picked in this thread? Those can't be it.

Meaning simply because you observe something which might indeed be harmful, it isn't always actually the cause of the harm you've diagnosed...

clyons Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ironically, when I started the thread (sorry) I wondered if anyone had asked Ozzie or Kenny for their explanation. Ozzie was apparently asked this afternoon. He doesn't have one: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,6284243.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
