Proof of Randomness in College Baseball

[Jaromir Jagr]

Uh, the "whole season" is your gig. You know, "we won the Coastal", that kind of stuff.

Yeah, I know. How silly right?

Who would ever use the whole season to determine a team's ability? It's better to take 10 days of games played in June in Nebraska.

We don't hang banners for having the best RPI or winning the Coastal. We do, however, have a sign with four distinct years on it.

This isn't MLB with balanced schedules. There is literally no way to compare the regular seasons of Miami and UCLA. That's why they invented the whole playoff concept. Weird, I know.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

That's exactly how it all started. People were trashing Morris, and you jumped in to save the day. Not his fault. It's all random.

People were trashing Morris using stupid arguments. They're mostly just emotional fanboys who don't know anything about what they're watching.

I doubt that they pay attention to all of this but hopefully they learned something.

Cool. Now we know to trash Morris using smart arguments.

Right.....the same programs get to Omaha and win games and eventually put the whole thing together. Just not Miami.

Which is, again, provably false.

Fresno State, Coastal Carolina and Arizona being obvious examples.

TCU has the most consecutive appearances and not one championship appearance.

Your CWS wins metric is not a measure of consistency. South Carolina has the most and they haven't been consistent at all.

 

[Doppelganger]

Don't blame me that you think Florida was the predictable option every year.

You were stroking O'Sullivan year after year for how great he was but you didn't expect him to win?

But two not very good Miami teams (according to you) should have done better?

You make no sense.

 

[Doppelganger]

FYI - don't tell us about sound coaches and programs when comparing Florida and Miami.

I didn't.

I just said something that you have no answer for.

Hence your response.

 

[Doppelganger]

So it had nothing to do with Jim Morris. Just a crazy coincidence. I think you realized how futile it is to defend the last nine years.

He's just the vehicle.

The same argument applied to O'Sullivan and McDonnell when they were failing to win games.

 

[Doppelganger]

We don't hang banners for having the best RPI or winning the Coastal. We do, however, have a sign with four distinct years on it.

Which is great but it doesn't answer the question we're debating.

You always fall back on one-off's, flukes and impossible standards.

You can argue the meaning all you want. Ten teams have 2/3 of the wins in Omaha.

Cool. Now we know to trash Morris using smart arguments.

The next one you use will be the first.

He is denser than a nuclear plant's safety wall.

Gnome knows nothing about baseball. Absolutely nothing.

He is puportedly a college graduate, but this cannot be true. His lack of basic mathematical skills is glaring. Wow! Astounding.

If UM football had made the playoffs in both 2015 and 2016, NO ONE on the board would be complaining. UM baseball performs the same feat and the trolls descend.

Keep in mind that he can no longer post on the football board. They ran him off. Too few posters on this board to do the same. Some guys over there know him. Will not reiterate their comment of him, but their depiction was less than flatering.

I didn't.

Good. There is no comparison.

 

[Doppelganger]

A number you have failed to give any context.

Don't worry. I know you can't.

Just like you can't answer for my Florida post that you ignored.

One-off's (sic) - We haven't done better than 1-2 in Omaha in six appearances over a 16 year period
Flukes - There isn't a "fluke" to blame in that 16 year period
Impossible Standards - Occasionally have a team that makes a run in Omaha.

Good. Just glad we agree that Morris' final decade is one to be questioned.

 

[Doppelganger]

He is puportedly a college graduate, but this cannot be true. His lack of basic mathematical skills is glaring. Wow! Astounding.

What's more is that he denied that Florida was a predictable champion pick in any of the previous years but then (magically!) the year they win it he claims that he knew it!

The guy is too much.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.........tell us about that "top 3 record for 3 straight years". You can't get far enough away from your mangling of basic facts.

Impossible Standards - Occasionally have a team that makes a run in Omaha.

It is when Fresno State's and Coastal Carolina's do it but Louisville, Miami, Oregon State, Cal State Fullerton, etc. don't.

Is it that difficult to comprehend that you need someone to explain the context? Ten teams have most of the wins in Omaha. Just not Miami (which you ignore every time).

Predictable to you because like any other high school historian you only rely on standings and rankings. You don't really have a grasp of what is going on down on the field.

Ignored 2/3 of my post, I see.

Louisville and Fullerton are both in a position of knowing that they need to keep grinding. They want titles. Neither of those coaches is happy. They're not sitting in the office saying "we made it to Omaha, that's all that matters".
