Perhaps more than any other sport, baseball has a cute little way of bending and molding itself into a new shape with every game. Other sports, beholden to time constraints and untethered from a new starting pitcher each day, are much more predictable on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes individual teams even have a unique style of play that they bring with them for each battle. Take our local NFL team, who, every Sunday, plays on the razor’s edge of thrilling their fans and infuriating them into medical emergencies.
Baseball is not quite the same. The overwhelming volume of games statistically means that variance is bound to happen.
