“Positive regression” might be the coolest oxymoron I’ve seen.😀
Been thinking a lot about regression lately, because many of us haven’t fully appreciated how fortunate the Sox have been (in addition to being good.)
Even after four straight losses, they are five wins ahead of their expected total. Their best players have until recently been both productive and healthy.
And in a year where players and especially pitchers have been dropping like flies, they have used six starting pitchers in the first 107 games.
Great take as always.
