They say baseball is defined by numbers but it also defies the numbers.
Like Most Things.
The World Series starts Friday.
With so much riding on every game, postseason baseball can be a lot more fun to watch—even for casual fans. For a sport that measures everything, it sure gets unpredictable when it matters most.
And that’s the point. The numbers show who’s better over time, not who will win today.
A .250 hitter is considered average. A .300 hitter is a star.
But the difference between them? About one extra hit per week.
Watch only a few games, and you’d never know which one was which. Many weeks, the “average” guy might even look better. The game’s randomness keeps it interesting—and keeps fans hopeful.
Kind of like real estate.
You’ve seen the agent who lucked into one great result and now claims she gets her clients THE MOSTEST THE FASTEST.
Maybe she does. But there’s no way to know. Every deal is different, and the numbers you see usually come from the same place the bragging does—the agent.
So what do you do? Go with someone you trust.
If your agent doesn’t realize those stats don’t mean much, they’re clueless.
If they do and use them anyway, they’re dishonest.
Either way, not who you want representing you.
If you’d rather work with someone who tells you the truth, even when it’s not shiny, I know a guy.
