How Can You Not Be Romantic About Playoff Odds?
Episode Notes
Jacob and Ronak talk about the opening weekend of the much anticipated 2020-21 season and remark on the season's particularly unusual nature so far. They then choose their creatively titled "Thing of the Week" and choose the storyline that stood out to them the most from the weekend of baseball so far.
Afterwards, they run through the ever-dwindling list of qualified MLB hitters who have yet to strikeout (a list that loses a member during the recording itself) and discuss who they think will be the last batter to remain without a strikeout.
And finally they run through the Phillies' impressive series against the Braves and resulting increase in their playoff odds, using the odds as an example of what to take seriously and what to take seriously early in the baseball season.
