The Past Decade: Revealed

[Jaromir Jagr]

Coastal Carolina just won a national championship

And if that doesn't elucidate this issue for you then nothing will.

Yeah, we know. Jim Morris gets off the hook for 15 years of failure because baseball is "random". He "randomly" loses every single year. It's random. Except when he wins. Then it's not random.

Logic.

so brian you are OK with us just having good enough seasons to make regionals and a omaha here and there?

No and nobody reading my posts would say that either.

The perpetual whiners have had to repeat lies that that over and over again because they don't understand anything that's being explained to them.

well you keep saying its good that he has done the same thing over and over again, I'm not the only one who is getting this vibe from you so I'm just wondering if you are cool with basically being mediocre to a sense

Morris performs 2x better than the probabilities dictate that he should. Omaha is a minute (small) sample equal 3% of the regular season and you have 1 game versus a series to prove your worth. Omaha is arguably the most random championship sporting event in the country. He has won Omaha twice.

Over a statistically significant sample, he has produced the 2nd best team in the country two years in a row.

You are wrong. Morris proved you wrong in both 2015 and 2016.

You do not possess the requisite mathematical skill to understand simple probability. Period.

there you go using that word "random" again, and i don't know about the whole statistically best team out there, we had a good offense last year and this year we were one of the best fielding, but heres were you contradict your post a little if he had such great statistics as you say why didn't we do anything in omaha those two years? again are you cool with just having a good regular season and regionals?

 

[canesproponent]

No, but my point is: "that is all that Morris controls". You use the 66-game regular season to optimally position yourself for Omaha and use the same strategy at Omaha that got you there. You need at least a weekend series to determine the better team, and in Omaha it is: "winner take all in one game".

A 1-seed gives you 40% probability to reach Omaha and each lower seed reduces the chances that you make it there. Once you are there, all coaches have the same probability of winning.

If Morris loses in the Supers with this team, and at home, you can blast him. You cannot blast him for losing essentially a coin toss.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Here's another thing I love about the coin flip crowd. On one Saturday, it's about who has the best pitching, who gets the clutch hits, who avoids backbreaking errors, etc. Fast forward one week.....and then it's all random. Jim no longer has any influence.

But "ur dumb and don't know math." The world sees right through you, fellas.

If Omaha is winner take all in one game, why do we come home with two losses every year?

Nothing about Omaha is "one game" and no one who watches the sport believes that it is.

The bell-hop-gnome deserves credit. As Jagr predicted back in February, Coastal Carolina just defeated Arizona for the crown of Omaha.

Omaha is not the least predictable tournament in sports. We will add this accomplishment to the troll's litany of accomplishments (i.e. giving proper directions in the keys, great luggage porting ability, identifying best key lime pie in the isles, etc...)

Coastal Carolina wins the College World Series, therefore Jim Morris has done a fine job of navigating the post-season for the last decade.

Logic is gooder than unlogic.

Dude you are so wrong. Lol you said gooder. Its gooiest, duh!

He doesn't even want to be the Buffalo Bills with JK, he is the Hawks. No real shot of winning a title, but not doing anything to get better.

BrianPiccolo: "Why are you people just talking about the last two games? The whole body of work is what matters."
BrianPiccolo: "Why are you guys looking at his last 15 years? Only the last two years matter."

Yeppers, that's the same guy, and that's what we're dealing with. Every point changes depending on how it makes Jim Morris look.

No. You're still talking about 2 (or 3) games.

The valid issues people like you would have had in 2012 have been addressed.

Now you're just being outed as a perpetual hater by still bringing it up in 2016.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

Yeah, we know. Jim Morris gets off the hook for 15 years of failure because baseball is "random". He "randomly" loses every single year. It's random. Except when he wins. Then it's not random.

Logic.

When the best teams win it's not random.

That's logical to anybody who understands the word.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

You are wrong. Morris proved you wrong in both 2015 and 2016.

Remember the game had 'passed him by' 4 years ago but now that we're back to what we were they are throwing out 10 years and other measures so they can continue to whine about 2012.

During last season the argument was 'No Omaha in 7 years!'
During this season the argument was 'One Omaha trip in 8 years!'
Now the argument is '2 Omaha wins in 10 years!'

Next year it might be 'Only 3 Omaha trips in 10 years' or 'Only 3 (or 4 or 5) Omaha wins in 10 years!'

The point of this is to whine. That's what they want to do.

You're clearly the most ignorant of all the whiners.

You start of by saying that you don't understand randomness and then your question is basically answered by it.

You play the whole season to gain advantages in the Tournament but those advantages are gone after the super regional round. After that it becomes a string of single baseball games in which the most random championship on Earth is determined.

This is all factual and observable. The field is seeded that way and then Omaha is determined that way.

 

[Brian Piccolo]

If Morris loses in the Supers with this team, and at home, you can blast him. You cannot blast him for losing essentially a coin toss.

Which he would've done.

But what makes him a transparent hater is that he still ripped the team for beating Boston College.

Oh, we know. You play the result. It's only random if Jim Morris blows a national seed.

Jim Morris wins as the favorite = great manager
Jim Morris loses as the favorite = random, nothing he can do
Jim Morris loses as the underdog = played a better team, nothing he can do

You've admitted to this.

Or, after we have to stop counting 2008, it will be "one win in Omaha in the last decade".

Nothing about Omaha is "one game" and no one who watches the sport believes that it is.

Lose the first game and your already paltry chances are further reduced.

In a regional you get a 4-seed which makes your chances of falling into that hole much, much smaller.

In a super regional it's a straight best of 3 series. We would beat almost anybody at home in that format.

In Omaha it's a regional format with no home field advantage and no 4-seed in first game advantage. And if you lose the first game you're basically screwed. And of course that one game is still baseball which means basically anything can happen.

Right, which is why we want you to stop saying that Jim Morris won two national championships and start saying that Jim Morris hit the lottery twice. Random. All random.

Which is why you shouldn't lose the first game in six straight College World Series. But it's random, we know. Six straight losing coin flips. Nothing we could do.
