Game of Runs

Scoring runs depend on luck and matchups and probably other things. With only three games I don't think we have enought data to say anything.

But damn we put a hurt on FSU the other night in the first part of the second half.

Probably not Golden analytics here. I think that they mostly choked and I am OK with that.

But analytics told use to play that way and it worked out way beyond my expectations.

 

Is that a sequel to Game of Thrones?

 

I totally appreciate the analytics approach we take and the beneficial results, at least statistically, we should yield from it. I am glad Coach is cutting edge in that department.

With that said, even as a stat head myself usually, does anyone feel like it changes the game when you're watching as a fan? I thought maybe it was my middle age creeping in, but all the focus on analytics seems a bit overboard.

 

Despite my nostalgic post, this is interesting and I wonder how it translates to college.

 

Now we're analyzing scoring runs? SMH. Stats are for losers. LOL

 

I can't be anticancer about the subject matter because I wouldn't recognize right from wrong but my feeling is that runs are vommon and have that feeling like an inning that never seems to end, no matter the pitcher.

They seem to start with mistakes of some sort of a chain of unproductive possessions. To me, they look psychological or just being caught on the bad side of the probability distribution curve which can't be avoided. Better teams are just prone to having fewer "events".

 

In other words, watch what you say in the first half because it may come back to bite you in the arse.
