Life calls, making it tough to watch this game all the way through. Caught the tail innings on my phone while eating dinner with the family.
It’s always nice to see Werth contribute. He holds a special place in my consciousness because of the sheer magnitude of his ridiculous contract. So I’m harsher on him when he doesn’t perform. Even if his off days are statistically valid.
Speaking of statistics, super human Ian Desmond hit two doubles and a triple tonight. This is his fifth game with multiple base hits. The statistical probability that it happens again weakens exponentially each day.
Baseball is a game of statistics, and like life, when a string of good things happen, you calculate that it’s only a matter of time before the bad stuff starts up again.
Tell me I’m wrong.
Please.
