If you want to dismiss one game probabilities, your original statement



is still not something that teams do. NO ONE judges a baseball team on a single game. Anything can happen in the game of baseball on a single day; you judge a team based on a much larger sample than that.

My point about the probability is that winning ALL your games against one opponent, no matter how bad, is hard. Even if you want to say the Cubs should win 80% of their games against the Braves, they'd still only win three in a row 51% of the time.

This isn't basketball.

In your last example that would be more times than not.

Lester pitching to Tyler Flowers like he's Johnny Bench.

Bunt straight to the pitcher

Wow, Lester get's himself into a bases loaded jam with nobody out...... then pitches his way out of it!!! Wonder what Joe said? Come on offense, let's get Lester some runs here and put these guys down!

the only problem with the bunt: they may walk russell and force Ross to be the guy.
