At the supermarket, it’s possible that it happened to you. In the frozen food section, you scoured the shelves, wandering around rather than focusing on a certain item.
What a great idea! You might have thought about picking up a pint of Häagen-Dazs chocolate, but then realised that the Reese’s bars look quite cool. Someone brushed past you as your inner monologues narrated the intimate drama of your Wednesday night like a couple of hamsters on ketamine.
You scarcely saw a person in a pink tee shirt and flip flops walking by you. A person dressed in a pink tee shirt and flip flops walked by you twice, in the same direction, as you looked down and up.
What? That person just walked right by me, didn’t they? Larry the hamster squeaks in disbelief, “I swear I just saw them.” I don’t know. Perplexed, you made your way to the produce section in search of products that would look good in your crisper drawer for the next two weeks.
While you were reading at home, you may have been struck by lightning. Perhaps you dropped a pen and looked down to find it before taking it up, only to discover that the pen had vanished. OK, I’m sure it’s just tucked under the rug or something, you reasoned before you actually went to look.
Nope. Neither under the table, the chair, nor the couch.. Neither in the adjacent room, nor in the adjacent hallway. A pen existed for a brief period of time. You dumped it into Neverwhere seconds later.
There are times in our lives when the world seems to fall apart. Anecdotes like this aren’t hard to come across on the internet, stories of a “glitch in the matrix,” as it were.
At first look, the Mariners’ tale appears to be on the more moderate end of the spectrum. The Mariners had a 19-7 record in one-run games prior to tonight’s contest.
In one-run games, the average team’s record should be around.500, with great teams doing better and bad ones doing worse. Only around 1.5 percent of the time can you expect an.500-ish team like the Seattle Mariners to play so well. It’s not impossible, but it’s also quite unlikely.
The gambler’s fallacy suggests that the Mariners won’t suddenly lose 12 one-run games in a row, but the Mariners also won’t maintain a.731 winning percentage in one-run games, as would be expected. At some time, the luck ran out.
In this case, the night had come. Ahead of his first start since being selected an American League All Star, Yusei Kikuchi took the mound. Kikuchi’s outstanding 2020 performance has continued.
Prior to tonight, his abject (and seemingly unsustainable) 23.1 percent HR/FB rate had allayed fears about the discrepancy between his 3.18 ERA and 4.29 FIP. Dingers have been his primary weakness. At some point, he’s got to cease reneging on his promises, right?
Hopefully! Though, um, not tonight.
A bad pitch to Aaron Judge can’t be blamed solely on bad luck. Kikuchi was severely penalised for missing his mark at the top. Kikuchi, to his credit, persevered.
When Kikuchi settled down after two innings of hard-hit balls, command concerns, and home runs, he went seven innings without allowing a single. His final outing was five innings, which he finished with a score of 5-3. The M’s had a chance because of the five runs, which were not spectacular.
Despite the loss of his teeth, Germán allowed a no-doubt home run to Tom Murphy in the sixth innings, which kept the game exciting.
Unfortunately, Murphy was the final Mariner to reach home plate in the game. As the Mariners’ final ten players were honoured in alphabetical order, half of them struck out.
What a horrible way to go off on the last day. With a four-run advantage, we were able to get out of the way of the outcome early.
A Murphy’s dinger re-ignited hope, but the hope was protracted, drawn out, and ultimately irritating when it failed to materialise.
Tomorrow, the Yankees and Mariners will go head-to-head for the final time in the race for a wild card position. The Mariners have a good chance of winning any game they play without Justus Sheffield in the lineup. Logan Gilbert will start, and he’s not Justus Sheffield. That’s a good thing
