2021-09-24: Mets (Megill) at Brewers (Lauer) [Brewers win, 5-1 -- Lauer gives the Crew 6.2 solid innings; Wong, Adames, & Yelich each homer]

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Needed a patented Villar chuck into center there.

[yourout]

Well that chance disappeared like a fart in a hurricane.

[Nola Beery]

That sounded like it was gonna be a 5-4-3 triple play. Whew

[BruisedCrew]

Who’s available as first out of the bullpen tonight. Is Strickland still around? Might need a couple from Suter at some point too.

[MrTPlush]

Is there any season ticket holder that can tell me how early entry works with a guest this year? I have never actually done it in any year and I can't recall if there was a special all digital procedure this year if you bring a guest. Anyone done it this year and know how I will have to do it tomorrow?

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The Cardinals offense is just ridiculous. I mean wow. Otherworldly.

 

Add in the Cubs pen...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Another quick 10 pitch inning. Lauer is settling down, which is good, because the pen is pretty drained right now.

Add in the Cubs pen...

Cubs pitching staff makes a lot of offenses look good.

[OldHeidelberg]

Add in the Cubs pen...

 

I could do without the gushing about the awesomeness of the Cards right now. Just saying..

[PinaMadness]

If Yelich goes yard you know it will be a good night.

[BruisedCrew]

Home run derby time.

[BruisedCrew]

If Yelich goes yard you know it will be a good night.

 

Good night.

[yourout]

Yovanni needs to stay in the booth.

He sits in with BA and Rock and back to back jacks.

[PinaMadness]

Can we just have a comfortable 10-1 victory tonight and lower my anxiety about 90%?

[BruisedCrew]

Have to keep adding on. Don’t know what we have in the bullpen tonight.

[MrTPlush]

Gallardo is not allowed to leave the air

[yourout]

Vogy missed some pretty fat ones in that AB.

[dlk9s]

Cool seeing Yo back. He looks great.

[Nola Beery]

I've always heard that, no matter how many times you toss the coin, the odds for the next toss are still 50-50.

 

Actually, one needs to know the exact pre-flip probability before saying that the odds are 50/50. In real life, knowing the exact pre-flip probability is much harder than it sounds in theoretical math land. In theoretical math land, one just says "assume that this coin is fair and has a 50% of landing on a heads or a tail on any individual flip." In that land if I flip a coin and it turns up heads 23 straight times, I throw my hands up and go "WOW, what are the odds of that happening..well the odds are 1 in 2 to the 23rd power!!! That's an amazing statistical anomaly!!"

 

In real life land, by somewhere between the 6th and the 8th straight "heads" outcome, an observer starts to think that the original assumption of a "fair, 50-50 coin" might not actually be true...by the 15th straight heads call they are REALLY sure the original assumption was false. So, the more you toss a coin that doesn't show a 50/50 outcome, the less likely it is that the coin is a fair 50/50 coin. That's hard to think about though...

Thanks! I knew it couldn't be too simple.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I hope the Brewers clinch this weekend...

 

...but imagine it's the last game of the year. The Dodgers have lost the West. Brewers lead the Central by one game. The Dodgers decide they'd rather play Saint Louis and toss out four position player pitchers. The Cardinals Way would not know what to do (neither would the whole baseball world for that matter)...

 

More runs!

[magnoliacrew]

Yelich batting 3rd. Counsell knows he's due.

 

What he should know is how mediocre Yelich has been for 2 years now. And how sadly predictable is is that Taylor would sit after hitting 2 home runs ?

 

Yelich was due.

Do you think....Yelich was due?
