It is good to have baseball rolling for a change. Hope it continues. I am a regular listener of the T&L podcast and they have an entertaining regular schtick going about 'The Science' that is based on the uncanny regularity in which a State team wins while another competing around the same time in a different sport loses. I believe 'the science' is real but is readily attributable to the history of mediocre performance by our sports teams. Thus, when multiple teams are playing, there is a higher probability of a mix of wins and losses than all wins or all losses. This is especially apparent when you consider the timing of schedule overlap.

Basketball and football overlap when football is in the SEC grind (high loss potential) and hoops are in the non-con (high win potential). Conversely, when hoops and baseball overlap, hoops are in the SEC/post-season and baseball is in non-conference.

I believe that is 'the science'.

If you donā€™t follow Brian or Robbie on Twitter or listen to Thunder and Lightning you have no idea what heā€™s talking about. Iā€™m guessing your boomer arse does none of those.**

No, I don't follow Brian or Robby on Twitter because it is 3+ solid hours of both of them non stop posting tweets . If you follow them, the next time you log in you have HUNDREDS of tweets (especially Brian) between the two of them saying the EXACT same things. "Fly ball to left caught by Chance for out number 3". Anyone that has Twitter isn't going to sit there and read each and every one of those tweets, it would be stupid, when you have that little device in the palm of your hand that you can listen to a live stream on and not have to deal w/ all the incoming messages.

As for Thunder & Lightning no I don't. It can be recapped on this message board in one or two posts from others rather than listening through all the ads they have.

Comes under the heading, if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? I'd say yes, but I can't for sure prove it.

Just a wild assed guess.
