WTF is a killshot?
Scoring 2 or more runs in an inning while the opposing team scores 0 in the same inning.

Teams that have a positive kill shot ratio win 90% of the time. There is no other advanced metric that correlates to wins in such a manner.

It's UCLA and us, then a gap to #3.

So in the following box score the kill shot ratio would be 3:2 in favor of the home team?


Inning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Home 0 3 2 0 5 2 0 0 1

Away 2 1 0 1 0 0 1 3 0

Home 0 3 2 0 5 2 0 0 1

Away 2 1 0 1 0 0 1 3 0
Away would have a kill shot in the 1st inning
Home would have the third fifth and sixth inning
Away in the 8th inning
The ratio would be 1.5

Us and UCLA have a season ration >5, and there are only four more teams >=3.

Kind of sounds like a made up stat. I mean it's basically if I score more runs than you more often, I'm more likely to win. I don't need a stat to tell me that. But yeah, it's good that we're ranked so high. Seems like we've underperformed a bit on our record though.

Yeah, seems like 48-1 in three SWAC games and 26-0 in 6 innings batting against Lipscomb might be exaggerating our overall dominance. We don't do that against really good teams much.

That's what I am thinking. It's like saying "whoever scores the most points will win the game".

If I'm understanding this new made up stat correctly, those 4 games you mentioned only gave us 18 total "killshot" innings out of about 265 total innings for the year. So a 7-0 inning against Grambling counts as only 1 killshot, the same as a 2-0 inning against olemiss.

So while the blowouts do give you more opportunities for killshots (I'm already tired of this word), particularly big innings only help so much in this stat. I'd say this is as much a good stat for our pitching limiting big innings as it is for our offense scoring a lot of runs.

Is this a 'causation vs correlation' stat, or is it legit?

Seems like the first, but I know nothing.

Yeah, the “killshot” thing is pretty laughable. Are we playing baseball, or Dungeons and Dragons?

You post count is inflated due to the number of idiotic posts you make on a daily basis.
At least my “idiotic” posts come with actual numbers and context. Yours just come with personal attacks when someone points out the truth. Keep clutching those inflated stats though. I’m sure the committee will be real impressed with the kill shot ranking and all those 12-0 wins against teams that couldn’t beat most high school JV squads.

It's not just one or two of us who find you generally insufferable. It's obviously a not insignificant number of folks here based on the responses you get

In an effort to understand people like you, what is your reaction to that reality?? Are you even aware of it?? Does it make you consider changing anything about how you present yourself on this board??

Most of the ones you speak of- also are the ones that see no problem with American athletes playing for other countries and competing against their own country- and think is ok and normal for our American team to get booed in our own country ect ect. If I were NOT found to be insufferable by those types of people- I don’t think I could bear to look at myself in the mirror every morning.

I'll bite. You paint everyone who doesn't like you in one broad stroke generalization. That way it's just one "type" of person who doesn't like you - not 50+.

Common coping mechanism. Try seeing people as individuals again and maybe you'll understand a pattern of a need to change on your part.

To be honest I’ve been thinking about it- and yes I’ve thought about making a change. I’ve been wanting to rebrand myself as an inspiring rapper- one who speaks truth to power. Thought about going by the street name “Deficit Dawg”
Thís could be my first track, freestyle straight from the heart, dedicated to YOU:

Yo, SheMateMe, the king of the snark,
Hiding behind a keyboard, throwing shade in the dark.
You call me psychotic, tell me get a life,
While you’re white knighting deficits every single night.
You drop 13 year old burns like “Get a 17’n life, dude,”
Sound like a middle schooler still rocking Velcro shoes.
You defend the red ink like it’s your firstborn child,
While the rest of us watch baseball bleed $4.2 million wild.
You roast me for facts, then cry when the math gets loud,
But deep down you know your whole vibe is soft as a cumulus cloud.
Deficit Dawg in the pack, mic check, one two, one two-
You’re the poster child for “all talk, no clue!” 💥🎤😎

Okey Dokey, I expected nonsense and that's what I got. Carry on wayward one.
