    Which Batter is More Productive?

    Excellent. I'd be willing to bet a six-pack of your favorite beer that one can construct a lineup of 8 semi-random batters which will cause player A to look better, but another lineup of 8 different semi-random players which will make player B look better. I suspect that it won't be possible...

    NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round

    NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round

    Why was the ball moved to the 25? Didn't the official stand at the 20-yard line after the punt and signal "first down" from the 20?

    NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round

    That TD play was very well designed: fake a short pass to receiver A, causing two defenders to jump toward him, then toss a pass in the same direction but over their heads to receiver B. Very nice mis-direction. I can't recall the Patriots running something like this (fake screen left...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    I had noticed the same thing: the play into which Mac audibles is almost always a run up the gut. I don't know how often it works better than the original play would have, of course, but my memory, such as it is, thinks that it doesn't work very often.
