With such scintillating phrases as "the octet of contra-outings," Griff continues to set a new standard in sportswriting.

Wow! It's so nice to realize that I can still learn new things at my age. What a terrific column! No more stat confirmation-bias for me. Many thanks, Rich!

Wow, there are some serious heavy hitters in the comment section - THE John Lott certainly based on profile. Is it also THE Terry Haig? I'm guessing perhaps so, based on the reference to "Rich"? Pretty cool, must say! Great article Richard. So glad to be reading your work again, looking forward to a great Jays season. Fair ball with regard to Berrios - I'm sure any actual MLB GM would be thrilled to have a guy make every start year-in, year-out, results be damned (to some reasonable extent, anyway!).

Yes indeed. John Lott is one of my writing heroes and Terry Haig is one of my life heroes An honour to have them both as readers.
