I have to watch the 0s feed. What was the context?"The last thing I want to do is die in Baltimore."
Showed a game in 2003 in a rainstorm, then a bolt of lightning hit and scared Nomar and Walker in the fieldI have to watch the 0s feed. What was the context?
A spring 2003 flashback to when Nomar and Walker were playing the infield, converging on a pop fly in the middle of a heavy downpour. Right after the catch, an enormous thunderclap (presumably with accompanying lightning bolt) flashed right overhead.I have to watch the 0s feed. What was the context?

My thought is that a lead off walk might be more indicative of a pitcher about to be in trouble than a single....but yeah, there's probably no need to overthink 0.2% difference in probabilities.At what point are those sample sizes big enough that .2% wouldn't just be random noise? Interesting a walk is more likely to score a run than a single. If it isn't just noise, I wonder the reason. Only thing I can come up with is the other hitters get to see at least 4 pitches.
It's basically noise at that point. Look at the much less common HBP, and that is 40.9%. It sure looks like no matter how he gets there, a leadoff hitter that reaches first scores ~40% of the time. An error scores slightly more often, but there could be a multi-base error, right?At what point are those sample sizes big enough that .2% wouldn't just be random noise?

Random error for a sample size of 82,600 is approx. .4, so noise.At what point are those sample sizes big enough that .2% wouldn't just be random noise?
