Offseason r/baseball is great
Just another example that correlation does not equal causation. The Pirates would never pay an actual pirate what he’s worth.
Man I really don’t want to do one of these for the Cardinals . . .
Probably a litany of white collar financial crimes.
The offseason for us baseball fans is like a rain delay for the players. We kind of come up with weird things to think about and do while we wait for the games to resume.
Gives a whole new meaning to p hacking
That’s it. We’ve hit peak off-season shitposting.
This is peak shitposting lmao
Elite off-season content
paul skenes, pack your bags and head to indonesia
Ooh. Don’t really wanna think about that one.
Are Raiders and Buccaneers wins similarly correlated?
Lol…. Raiders wins… Never mind. Confirmed – Indonesian pirates are only inspired by baseball pirates.
Phillies winning % since 2018 has probably been on a continuous upward trend similar to fentanyl ODs in the city
This has to be one of the best correlations of all time.
Wait, does this mean Bob Nutting is a… *hero*?
Gonna need the pirates to trade Skenes.
For the safety of the people of Indonesia, obviously.
People were flying the Strawhat Jolly Roger during the protests that happened in Indonesia. Does that mean this year we saw a ton of pirate attacks in Indonesia?
Well with this in mind, I really don’t want to see another Diamondbacks WS win…
Diamondbacks world series wins and terrorist attacks
Counting or not counting gang violence?
The only problem with this analysis is the y-axis label “Win/Loss Ratio”. It should be “winning percentage”, which would make sense with values shown in the black data series. “W/L ratio” would be 1.0 for a team with equal wins and losses.
Other than this minor point, no notes.
All of them.

The houston astros and espionage
Please please New York don’t go after the fare dodgers.

I feel like every Blue Jays walk could be considered Jay Walking…
I’m guessing some kind of waste management union corruption
The problem with Somali piracy is, if you manage to find someone who is really talented and commited to their craft, the end up signing with the fucking Yankees anyway.
If we’re going strictly with nominative determinism (Pirates succeed when pirate attacks are high), then surely the Yankees sustained success over the last 30+ years must be due to Western imperialism?
As the Red Sox have won more often this century they have earned new fans and that correlates with lower IQ scores as being a Sox fan makes one so stupid that you think asinine things like Nomah was better than Jeter
I’d say don’t show this the the Pittsburg Pirates ownership, but I already know they are too cheap to fund Indonesian piracy groups.
Correlation, causation. Something i’m sure Pennsylvania doesn’t teach their kids…
Boston went on a tear after meeting the president if I recall correctly, maybe he does need a third term if their world series window will bear fruit
Every year a Guardians of the Galaxy movie has been illegally downloaded, the Guardians (franchise) has won at least one game
The 2011 Jets collapsed in the end
Draft dodger as President and Dodgers winning chips.
From reading the title I thought this was gonna be another post about the Astros lol

Tax dodging and dodgers wins!
I honestly thought the number of bartenders in WI would be inversely proportional to the number of Brewers’ wins – but I was proven wrong.
