Another interesting one related - Ted Williams reached base in 84 straight games. Not sure if that would be considered more or less lucky.

Experience playing baseball: irrelevant
Understanding what goes into getting a hit: irrelevant

You still aren't getting it

What is the relevant part of the luck factor then? I am definitely not getting it, I admit.

Like I said earlier, the luck factor of his hitting during that streak can't really be determined like it could be today, because we lack the evidence. So asking to prove or disprove his luck can't happen. you're looking at this in an odd way. i think what you're saying is that, because each indivi...

I guess my point is this: please show me how much luck he had. Like, was his BABIP extraordinarily high or something? This is kind of a pointless argument without actually going into detail. Although some might argue this is pretty pointless anyway lol Show me that he had no luck at all and it was ...

Any steak record involves luck. It's the nature of such a record. So I agree with that. But saying a baseball streak record had to involve more luck than another type of streak record is inaccurate, imo.

yeah...that. it's baseball. the best player ever could go 0-5 with 5 strikeouts in game 7 of the world series, and it wouldn't mean anything about his ability. you need to be timely, and you can't control it. Yes, there are luck aspects, but 0-5 with 5 k's isn't bad luck. You were either bad or fac...

Obviously you need an extraordinary amount of talent to be able to get a hit in 56 straight games, but to say talent is the only thing you need to do it is very wrong. There was certainly a large amount of luck involved in the 56 game streak. How much luck? How many lucky hits did he get? How many ...

Yeah, for crying out loud Joe is one of the best of all time. But there HAS to be some amount of luck involved to manage that streak. This pretty much nails it for me. The fact that he isn't the best of all time, but holds this record tells me there is definitely some luck involved. That doesn't di...

Cy young

Yeah, talking in terms of records that will never be broken, his wins total is that.
DiMaggio's 56 is incredible.

Raising Hope cracks me up. Glad I started investing in it. I kept mentioning it on the other site but nobody seemed to be watching it with me. It's one of my favorite shows of all time. Maybe it helps that I watched the entire series in roughly 2 weeks... I watched it. Great show. As was My Name is...

wat?
Check the quick links. You are in it dummy.
I just don't get why we should have bios... everyone here knows who we are, and if not, they can just ask.

Who are you?

Kristen?

I had the option to keep fielder for $14 and kept Soler for $11 instead. He ended up going 31st in draft, which equates to about 90 after keepers.

That's right. Didn't realize there was going to be a season two. I'll have to be on the lookout for it.

"Reply all" is pretty good. Its a show about the internet. Random stories about different trends on the internet, present and past. Yeah, I like that too. It was spawned from a podcast that someone else brought up here, but forget the name of now. Had to do with creating your own podcast and what t...

Yup, Heady Topper is still great. DId you drink it from the can? I'm so desperate to try this that I've come up with a plan that includes tracking down an email address from someone who attended a class with me in college and I've heard is now living in Vermont. I understand he has family living ar...

Yeah, I read somewhere that this round would be the first to be in sixers.

TK show is usually great, and I'll sit through them whining about the Wizards for 15 minutes every show. But the March Madness stuff is over the top. Brackets are like Fantasy Football teams, nobody cares about yours. Right now if I need something to fill 15 minutes I'll skip to the last 15 minutes...

Wait, Nerdist was too raunchy, but Carolla is ok?

TK Show is my go to. It's not completely sports-based, so kinda wonder why you think NFL season will make you like it more?
because dodint hates basketball

I guess I can see that because of all the bracket picking. I'm indifferent about basketball, but still enjoy the show.
