X > Y; therefore Y > X
>> Friday
Buster Olney, apparently unable to interpret simple numerical comparisons, saw this graphic regarding the ALCS:
________________________In 2 Red Sox wins __ In 3 Red Sox losses
BA ahead in the count:____________.350_____________.222
BA behind/even in the cout:________.357_____________.232
And concluded this:
"You see .350 when ahead in the count when they've won, compared to just .232 in their losses when they're behind in the count. That shows how important for them to get ahead in the count."
To be fair, it's generally advantageous to hit ahead in the count, but no--the numbers from this series do not demonstrate this fact.
