Yes, all that is reasonable. I’d actually put them as 5th or 6th best, but I certainly wouldn’t say they were tops in the league. Here’s the problem. THAT WASN’T YOUR ORIGINAL DUMBSHIT WORTHLESS ARGUMENT. You said they were one of the worst teams ever to win the WS. That dog most certainly don’t hunt, and your…

Just...eternal LOL...

“Please use logic and math”

Some times, when the shovel gets heavy, it's ok to put it down. It's encouraged, actually.

My last point, as I feel both of us would be on the other side of this equation simply by switching which team we root for, which exposes our inherent biases and highlights the absolute idiocy of this argument to begin with.

The only reason you would do that is because you can’t admit you’re wrong. We understand math. Hell, I got a “B” in Diff Eq. We understand variance. We understand the unlikelihood of coming back repeatedly.

Why bother? You’re starting argument is that runs scored late in games are flukes. I’d have a saner conversation with a Trump supporter.

Your understanding of both baseball and math is based on a flawed assumption: that all baseball offenses are identical. Said another way, you’re saying “My models don’t match reality! Reality must be flawed!"

I certainly get variance. This guy’s argument just sucks. He keeps asking for numbers, yet the only one he’s provided is that the Royals had a league average offense in terms of WRC+. Like, what, is that checkmate or something? Does that end the discussion?

Ha. Scoring. More runs. In the allotted number of innings. Bad.

You made my day.

7 All Stars in 2015. Best record in the AL.

That’s the 2006 Cardinals you’re thinking of, genius, since you’re so into accuracy and precision. Maybe also try checking out the team stats on the 2005 White Sox. Or the 2003 Marlins. Or the 2000 Yankees. Or... or... or... just get your head out of your ass and give up this argument.

So maybe go back and edit your original comment to say “one of the worst offensive teams to win the World Series” then. Holy shit, I get your point, but maybe just actually read what people are saying in response to you. Your argument sucks. You’re like a FanGraphs commenter on super retard steroids.

Because no other team in the league (especially the Orioles) throws at guys. And they certainly wouldn’t throw at someone for sliding hard into second base...

Yeah, fuck them for thinking Lawries slide was less than honorable in it’s intent. I mean, everybody starts their slide at the base. Such dickholes...

Just a regular idiot then? I love how you use the WS as a large enough sample to determine luck and then tell someone that their “15 game sample” (not sure where you pulled that number, btw) isn’t big enough and then site 2 SD’s off of an even smaller sample to tell someone that they don’t understand math or baseball.

Because a pitcher wore a t-shirt to a press conference 2 1/2 years ago?

So. Much. Salt.

The Royals met Noah at his office. For some reason, he didn’t show up.
