I sure hope they aren't counting on Colby to decipher something.

"the c stands for cheating"

My softball team steals signs. Too bad we still can't hit.

Hopefully, we will get some good debate on Tango's blog w/r/t this.

Edit: though I'm sure posting this here will result in some of the Brewer trolls heading to Tango for the first time and classlessly pointing out how statistics don't mean anything, there are intangibles not being considered, etc.

I believe Colby passed his gozintas in HS.

Why don't you go eat some Knackwurst, drink some Miller High Life and enjoy our what, 4th consecutive year the NLC doesn't win a playoff game?

Stick to football. You guys are respectable in that sport. Well. You're cousins in Green Bay and Madison are.

How did you know what I had for breakfast?

MGL wrote:Tango, even though it is likely that 1 or 2 teams would be 2 SD from a mean in whatever category, if the claims of sign stealing are made independent of of any knowledge or suspicion of statistical anomalies, then ANY difference from the mean (in the right direction of course) is evidence in favor of that claim. Obviously the larger the number of SD the stronger the evidence, but in this case we are not looking at all teams H/R splits and then suggesting that the ones with large splits may be stealing signs…
Hey, someone agrees with me!
