The Past Decade: Revealed

[Brian Piccolo]

I make a good point, but per the supercuntputer, it's moot because I'm doing it "stupidly". WTF does that even mean? Takes a twisted mind to make claims like that.

You're claiming that since the game carries more importance that it should be evaluated (or managed or coached) differently than any other baseball game.

I'm saying that it carries more weight but it's just like any other baseball game and therefore should be approached the same.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

It's not 2 games. It's about 10 games at Omaha since '01 and I'm pretty sure we played bad baseball in 2 of the wins.

It is 2 games.

2 out of 64.

And yet you dismiss the overwhelming majority (62) and base your judgments on just the last 2.

Somehow we're soft (even though we're not) and we failed against the best teams (even though we didn't).

 

[Brian Piccolo]

We also played badly in the first game against LBS and the second game against BC before Omaha but you wouldn't know because you've never played.

This is more typical behavior.

First it's just about winning and losing. Totally results oriented.

Then it turns to retroactively ripping our wins too because we didn't play well in them either.

I would say "uneducated" rather than "stupid". It is more apropos. 73% of the U.S.A. does not benefit from a college degree and probably on 7% of them have actually studied statistics.

This thread is akin to a hillbilly beating his child because he only won the coin flip 50% of the time. The bell-hop does not know any better. Like the guy on the Simpsons that would rage at the clouds in the sky.

You know what's the difference between those four clubs from ours this year?? they played their best baseball in the postseason and you keep failing to grasp that concept

The best baseball from a 4-seed like Fresno State shouldn't be good enough to win a representative tournament. In fact it's not good enough in any other sport and no team as bad as Fresno State has ever won any other NCAA competition.

We are right back at square one because you bozos don't even understand basic concepts of randomness.

Winning during the regular season and 'playing your best at the end' are not mutually exclusive. So then why is it always these middling Arizona teams, Fresno State teams or Virginia teams that seemingly do it?

It's because fanboys like you require a cliched explanation for your sports. So the cliche gets written into the narrative.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

I wonder if #3 had expectations to win the national title at the start of the season or say after the Super Regionals?

That's a different thing altogether.

We were favored by most people, polls and metrics to win our bracket once we reached Omaha. And then the second 'worst' team in the bracket won it instead. Then the worst team won the other bracket.

You goofballs then try to assign cliched fanboy explanations to it.

Expecting to win the national championship in February is nonsense.

I have read this thread it in its entirety. Jagr owned the thread, doesn't matter if you all hate him or not. He's right

Except when he's wrong.

Which is all the time.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

ou had a strong point during July 2013, but now you are simply being moronic.

The fragile psyches of Jagr and his crew have never gotten over 2012.

The same arguments they were making then (which might have been well received) look downright silly today. Still complaining about stuff from 4 years ago is delusional.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

I get the feeling that some of the randomness crowd watching a baseball game goes something like this:

"Wow! The home team took the field first. So random. I can't believe they're lined up like that...3 outfielders, 2 middle infielders, 1 each at 1st/3rd/home...and what's that dude doing on the mound? Oh...HE'S the pitcher? That's just random...he could have lined up out by the foul pole, really. Just shows exactly how random this game can be..."

Another bonehead who doesn't understand what random means but swears that he's smart and is making sound arguments.

And he wants our validation too.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

This speaks volumes. If Jim and Gino aren't spending this summer trying to figure out how to win the national championship, then fire everyone. Today.

Of course that's not what I said.

You have a lot of fanboys on your side but you're constantly forced to lie to make your points.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

No one in their right minds would say they don't want to win a national title.

You're right because that's definitely not what I said.

You guys have to lie to make your points. It's been that way from the beginning.

Go back and look again and tell me what you see.

I wasn't attempting to make a sound argument in that post, Fister Roboto. I've resorted to flat-out making fun of you and your statistically-obsessed crony.

Why? Because there's nothing left to argue about. You guys point at cherry-picked statistics and randomness as "reasons" to back up your arguments. When we call you on it, you go all Nathan Thurm and tow the company line.

And fvck your validation.

Right, because the stakes are higher. Winning or losing in Omaha is more important than winning or losing in February.

I'm saying that it carries more weight

That's good...steady now.

but

Here it comes...

it's just like any other baseball game and therefore should be approached the same.

From a statistical POV like yours, you're correct. Here in the real world where we take into account things like context, history, and how the product on the field looks with our own two eyes...you're absolutely ******* wrong. You couldn't be more wrong.

That's the problem. You can't see past the numbers you've cherry-picked to actually look at how these guys played on the field. And the product that goes onto the field in Omaha is Morris's responsibility as skipper of the Canes. Plain & simple.

Did you read what he posted?

Is it not warranted?

Nope not at all you are getting owned by facts and you attack him with insults

With all due respect, those were random insults. Diccolo had zero control over them.

The ultimate arbiter is Blake. The same guy who obtained $4 million in funding for Richt. He says that you detractors are wrong, as does the AD of the USC Trojans, who offered Morris "a mint" to go work for him (as did Skip, who won 5 titles).

Where is the bell-hop? What are the concierge's thoughts?

We've won 2 games in Omaha in 10 years.
We haven't beaten a #1 seed in 8 years.
We have been upset by a lower seed 12 times.
We have beaten a higher seed 0 times.

You know what you can do with your moronic 50% coin flip analogy.
