There should be a name for this. I can analogize: a 10-Jack-Queen-King-Ace in one suit is a Royal Flush; whereas a 9-10-Jack-Queen-King in one suit is a Straight Flush. Sure the former beats the latter, but the latter is damn impressive. I think walk-single-double-triple is pretty damn impressive too.
I agree. I just think that coming to a reasonable conclusion based on clearly spurious evidence tends to undermine said reasonable conclusion. That's the real problem I've got. Let's stop freaking out game to game. Surely there are better ways to analyze?
I think he might have spelled Hughes wrong, but it's six of one, really. Edit: either way, Mejía hasn't pitched himself out, and even if he were marginally worse, he's the longer-term piece with at least as much upside as the others.
You absolutely chalk it up to a couple bad pitches. And really, three games? We're going to extrapolate from that to an injury, or to fatigue from last year. Come on now. Look, I know losing sucks. But let's be serious.
