The Past Decade: Revealed

[Jaromir Jagr]

Yeah, we know. Jim Morris gets off the hook for 15 years of failure because baseball is "random". He "randomly" loses every single year. It's random. Except when he wins. Then it's not random.

Logic.

When the best teams win it's not random.

That's logical to anybody who understands the word.

Mathematicians all over the world are laughing their asses off at this. Either something is random or it isn't. You can't wait to see what happens to decide if it was random.

Either the 2017 College World Series is random or not. Right now. Which is it?

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Oh, we know. You play the result. It's only random if Jim Morris blows a national seed.

Not if he blows it in the regional or super regional.

But we don't know how that feels because it's never happened. Let me know when it does.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Jim Morris wins as the favorite = great manager

Yep.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Jim Morris loses as the favorite = random, nothing he can do

He's only failed to advance as the favorite twice.

2012 was not random and was never sold such.
2014 could be argued because of the performance of Texas Tech.

But that's the extent of the failings as a favorite.

More lies as usual.

I've never said there's nothing we can do. You still don't understand random. Embarrassing.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Jim Morris wins as the favorite = great manager

Yep.

What a coward.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Jim Morris loses as the underdog = played a better team, nothing he can do

Again lies.

I've never said there's nothing we can do.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Oh, we know. You play the result. It's only random if Jim Morris blows a national seed.

No if he blows it in the regional or super regional.

But we don't know how that feels because it's never happened. Let me know when it does.

Being one of three national seeds in Omaha and going 0-2 is blowing a national seed.

Again lies.

Of course you say that. You have a myriad of excuses for why we literally never beat an equally seeded or higher seeded team. 10 years of that.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Right, which is why we want you to stop saying that Jim Morris won two national championships and start saying that Jim Morris hit the lottery twice. Random. All random.

He didn't hit the lottery twice.

He had the # 1 overall seed in 1999 and the # 2 overall seed in 2001.

Therefore totally predictable that they would have won.

So not random.

I can't be the only one who thinks it's embarrassing that you still don't understand what random means after all this time.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Which is why you shouldn't lose the first game in six straight College World Series.

We haven't lost the first game in six straight trips.

Embarrassing is your place on the football board, Mr. Historian. But that's another story.

Either the CWS is random or it isn't. No one on earth waits to see a result to decide if it was random or not. Good lord. What an awful understanding of the concept.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Being one of three national seeds in Omaha and going 0-2 is blowing a national seed.

No it's not.

Being a national seed means that you're seeded into Omaha. Nothing more.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Only five out of six. When we did win the first game, we took advantage of that by rushing back to Coral Gables after the next two games.

Being one of three national seeds in Omaha and going 0-2 is blowing a national seed.

No it's not.

Being a national seed means that you're seeded into Omaha. Nothing more.

Which is why the 2001 CWS was random. The advantages end at Omaha.

Your ability to contradict yourself is one of the better highlights on this board.

Not at all.

The people I'm up against there are just as stupid as the ones here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness

Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events. A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") is predictable. In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability and information entropy.

You are utterly clueless.

The lack of predictability makes something random. It's a measure of uncertainty, not haphazardness.

Yeah, you mean all of those actual football coaches? They have nothing on you.

My cross country coach at Boyd Anderson used to say the same thing about football coaches. Thought they were all idiots. But that dude never coached a day of football in his life.

Not if the outcome was predictable and the best team won.

What was our excuse as the number 3 seed? We should have made the finals this year since being a national seed is so predictable.

Awesome. Is next year's CWS random or not? Because you and stat boy keep calling the CWS the most random tournament in sports. Is next year's CWS random? Or is it only random when it suits your argument?

You can't wait to see the result to say if something was predictable. Good grief.
