Sabermetrics lives!
Willie Bloomquist went on a tear to start 2011. Everyone was on the “it’s a new Francoeur” bandwagon. People are so desperate to find trends, they always think they found one.
In Frenchy’s last 200 PA, he has .232 / .285 / .343 line. Where are all the trendspotters now?
In Mr Replacement Level’s first 7 games, he had a .394 / .429 / .545 line. In the 102 PA since, he’s at .213 / .257 / .277.
This is not an “I told you so”. It’s a “stop looking for trends” post. Just stop! There is no story, other than something happened. It has virtually no predictive value. So stop talking like it’s predictive.
