There is no denying that I have a deep love for statistics, but sometimes statistics don’t do a good job of explaining what we saw on Sundays. This past Sunday was one of those examples. We will go over the box scores as we normally do, but it will probably be an unsatisfying endeavor. However, as we do this through the season things will begin to make more sense and come into clearer focus. As they say, on a long enough timeline the survival rate drops to zero.
