Okay, so your freindly neighborhood statistician is always working hard. this means, networking with other statguys (thx, Frank!) and coaches to come up with the best stats possible, and hopefully in real time (getting more on that with technology). This also means keeping up with the bretmans and knowing the rules.
So, i get to the "BH". The BH stands for the "Black Hole". This is determined when an umpire misses/fails/interprets the rules incorrectly which leads to stunning a statman into recording something foul and misrepresented withi his holy book.
This weekend, an occurance of the BH rule came into effect. Batter pulls bat ahead to bunt, ball hits bat and fouls back behind catcher, runner on first advances. Ump calls strike and tip, runenr is allowed to stay at second. wth? this is the BH.
Also, runenrs at 2 and 3, ball is hit to shortstop. Runner interferes, dead ball is called. Runner doesnt score, right? wrong! That run scores as part of the BH. Since the runner entered the event horizon of the BH, that run was ****ed out of the game, awarded to opposing team, perhaps even having a negative effect on seeding. although the run in question should have not scored, it comes out throught the WH, which is the White Hole, and awarded to a team somewhere in central ohio. Meaning, you might have scored 5, but your scoreboard says 6. no one knows why? It came from the WH via the BH. Get it?
so statguys, pay mindful attention to the BH, as it inevitably will rear its head to a tourney near you
