LOL, you're trying way too hard. But that's why we love you. The Cubs will be playing on Wednesday, while you'll simply be playing with yourself.

the guy that won't benefit, ironically is Bryant. But it shouldn't matter.

6% isn't "that much."

So I think "nearly" changes it enough.


How would you like it if your home mortgage rate was 6% larger? How about your penis?


Well, those aren't "odds" situations so they're not a very good barometer. In odds situations, one percentage point one way means a drop in percentage the other way.

For the second example, I think that my argument that 6% doesn't change it that much holds up. When you're big, you're big, bro.

Well, lots of people seemed very interested in catching the Pirates to get the game at home. Why didn't you and Kirkwood tell them all that it was nearly meaningless?


It's funny you say that. Among friends, I've been saying just that for weeks. That's why you weren't aware.

I will also let it slide that you are representing the difference as 6%. From the Cubs perspective "meaningless" would be 50%. As a road team, they would be at 47% (assuming the stat is right.) That's a 3% difference.

Pretty funny to hear Cub fans try to argue their way around the 6% thing (which is actually about 8%). It's impossible to argue that number is statistically irrelevant.

You'll let it slide because it is completely accurate.

Out of 100 chances, the home team will win 6 more times. That is 6%.

There are so many people who look bad in this thread. You don't have to be one of them.



Coming from king of the trolls, too funny. The Cubs have the 3rd best record in baseball, made the playoffs, and have an extra year of control with Bryant. It could not have worked out much better relative to any reasonable expectation on their 2015 season. And yet you fools still have things to gripe about with the way the Cubs handled their roster.

It is you and your legion of Cub trolls that looks really bad.


Everything you said is irrelevant to the discussion. The fact is that it could have worked out a little bit better and it was failure on both the baseball on business side that prevented it from happening. I know the Cubs will win on Wednesday but it would have taxed the team less and been better for the entire city if they had done so at home.

No, that's dumb too. If Arrieta pitches as well as has been, the Cubs should rightly be favored to win, but there is nothing that invalidates the small, but real, advantage that home field gives.

I have said for several days now that I will be watching the game cheering for my Cubs. However, as a practitioner of the erotic arts, I find absolutely nothing wrong with a night spent as you have described.

One thing is certain.

The Cubs have, at least, a 47% better chance of winning a playoff game tomorrow than the White Sox do.

I'm a good natured guy so I will take that as a compliment.

If it were intended another way, such as a perpetuation of a stereotype that Polish people are stupid, I would take off my internet glove, strike you across the face with it, throw it down on the ground and challenge you to a duel of comparative intelligences at dawn on the morn.

but I like to believe the best of others so, as a proud son of the people of the field, I thank you for recognizing my heritage

If home field were completely meaningless, how many games would the away team win out of 100, on average?

So cubs have a higher win % @ PNC √
They are favored @ minus 110√
The Home team is 2-4 in Mlb play in games√
Both road teams are favored for this years play in games..After the Cubs and Astros win it will be home team 2-6 for play in games- 25% winning percentage.. Home field in MLB playoff games means absolutely nothing.

I'm actually on vacation this week and out fishing today. The fact that I am in a statistics debate on my phone is proof that technology is the devil.

Maybe the Cubs should sell Wrigley for condos and play all their games on the road.

50.

If the odds were 99-1 what would the difference in the percentage be? Would it be 49%?
