Bias in PITCHf/x?

By Tangotiger, 09:32 AM

Self-named replacement-level PITCHf/x-ers Harry Pavlidis (*) points out:

Ken Takahashi and Brian Stokes both pitched in relief of Santana on Sunday, and we happen to have another game (May 11) from Citi Field where all three pitched.

Talk about the fantastic luck to find the same three pitchers who pitched in two different games, with the game we are most interested in be one of those games.

(*) Harry three months ago called himself a replacement-level PITCHf/x-er.  I have no idea if it was true then, and if it was, it simply shows what dedication, inspiration and hard work can do to turn such a baseball fan into a quality analyst.
