Save that sentiment for the playoffs, you'll get it.  Different factors today and throughout the long season.

The 1st game is just as important as the last IMO. Especially with Ragan pitching it should be a close game and the absence of Duran & Thielbar IMO the best line-up on the field will keep the pressure off the BP. Also the 1st game sets the tone.

Miguel Sano just struck out in his first at-bat for LAA. Don't miss that.

What sample size is smaller, at bats in spring training? Or the number of people who actually put any weight in those meaningless games?

Yes

It was 30 whole at bats though, that's pretty much as conclusive as you can get.

Yeah, I decided the easier answer was just to point out that the stats in the useless data set weren't even good stats.

Oh, I do. Been blaming the alphabet for years. Why can't the letters each just have 1 sound they make every time they're in a word?

You would appreciate Slovak. The spoken language wasn't written down until about 1850, so when they did it they just spelled everything phonetically, And there hasn't been enough time for pronunciation to evolve away from the written language.

I got asked to join a blindfolded archery league. I was skeptical at first, but I gotta say, I tried it, and I didn't know what I was missing!

[ashbury]

Okay team, show me something!

[bighat]

Yikes - 3 pitches and 2 outs so far.

Gotta love starting the season with a full blackout. Let me know what happens. 😔

Carlos Santana rolls his pant legs above his knees? That's odd..

Rejoice! Royce just gave Ragans a Royal Ramming.
