well, the bunt obviously worked out great, so we know who is right.

 

 

Nice Dusty Baker hindsight argument. Well played.

There was also the foresight, the statistics, and the fact that it's bloody stupid to bunt with Dero when you've got what'shisface batting next

 

That's okay. You tried to criticize and you were wrong. Buck up and keep shooting for that rainbow.

 

This last post and "that's nice" do not qualify as effective arguments.

 

When it is clear that the difference between two numbers is roughly 1% and some trumpet those as unequivocal proof of the truth of something that hasn't happened, then this is all the response that is deserved.

A) you confirmed that you don't know what statistically significant means,

B) you missed the point: you sound exactly like that stubborn little kid who won't acknowledge not just why he's wrong, but that he's wrong.

 

A.) Ummm, sorry. Feel free to keep pushing that, though.

B.) Irony.

Please define "statistically significant" without googling or wiki-ing, plz.

Also, the offense showed plenty of signs of life and was back to what we're used to from them.

 

I really can't overstate how much this loss can be blamed on Lou for bringing in Howry, something I, and just about any poster on here, would never do in a game that's any closer than 5 runs.

You mean "not due to chance?" Feel free to explain how the win PROBABILITY difference of 1% (when based upon previous data) is statistically significant.

Everyone who is freaking out just calm down. YES, I know we should've won this game. YES, I know we are on a tough losing streak. But we are still nearly a lock for the playoffs. 9 game wildcard lead with 23 to play, 4.5 division lead with 23 to play, and with 6 against the Brewers. It would take both a monumental collapse of the Cubs and a huge run by both the Brewers and Philles to keep us out of the postseason. Today's game showed signs of better offense, which is good. We are improving. I fully expect a win tomorrow.

And now you've completely confirmed that you don't know what it means. ](*,)

A 16 year old is showing more maturity and rationality than a lot of the rest of us.

I was not great in my statistic classes but I'm pretty sure it depends on where you set your alpha-level. My guess is that with any reasonable alpha-level that difference is statistically significant due the likely large sample size of data. It sounds like this is a statistical significance vs. clinical significance argument that has gotten out of control and missed the main point of discussion in the first place.

In other words, it's statistically significant, based on all the births in the USA, that there are about 1% more male births than female births. It's statistically insignificant that, to make up numbers, Fukudome is 50% more likely to make the last out of the game than Soto.

 

A .001% difference can be statistically significant if you've got enough data

Zambrano said his arm hurts. Off to see the doctor tomorrow.

 

Anyone trying to tell me the sky's not falling is going to have to make one heck of a case.

This game was a waste but there's news coming down the pike; Z to see Dr Grzlow tomorrow. He told Rothschild he wasn't feeling well. Lou said w"ll know more tomorrow.

 

That's not good news but there's no reason to react before we know what's going on...

My posts attempting to convey some perspective are getting lost in a sea of nonsense.

 

*sigh*

 

Meh. Just let it go until tommorow. Right now, your going to have a hard time convincing anyone its not 2004.

I'll wait until we're .5 ahead in the Central standings to start panicking. Then again, I also think the Mets aren't as good as the Dbags.
