Re: The MLB Thread
This sentence being in an actual article on ESPN makes me shudder:
"The ESPN Stats & Information department pro-rated Kershaw’s dominance over a full season, and given that the Dodgers are 9-1 in his starts, he would actually be able to help the Dodgers to a 146-win season if he pitched fresh every single game."
It's not just how dumb the 146 win part is, it's that they had to call in the ESPN Stats & Information department in order to calculate these high-powered analytics....which amounts to multiplying 9 x 16 and 1 x 16.
