Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 26, 2016

Thanks, Bruno, I’m feeling lazy this morning…..Wiley, thanks for stretching our minds……As a teacher I like that….

Sabermetricians don’t make mistakes. They make unforced errors.

That’s for Red Sonja.

When you graduate with a degree in gladiusmetrics, with a minor in xiphosmetrics (ok, I had to look that one up).But then a claymoremetrician shows up, quietly, marching to the soothing sounds of the pipes.

Bruno Zeigerts:

Read ”Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game,“ by Michael Lewis. Or, just go see the excellent movie of the same name starring Brad Pitt

if you think this is bad, see what supercomputing goes on with draftings.

I katana get into that all that work.

what’s to study about baseball?

The incessant recitation of statistics is one reason I don’t watch televised sports.

it’s a game

Don’t know for sure what that word, saber metrics’ is? But did realize that the scene would eventually come down to what we are seeing. And, Wiley did not even show the the grandstand or ? Maybe after a long while, they got frustrated and left. Or the conclusion to the end of baseball?

Does anyone know why certain comics are unavailable? I can’t get Oop, Dragon Girl, or Doonesbury.

Baseball, a game for accountants.

Let’s see, I could either break out the spreadsheet and plug in a wagon load of numbers, or I could grab a brew and a dog and plant my carcass in the third base line stands and cheer for my local MiLB team.

Screw it: Go Rainiers!

shouldn’t it be “cybermetrics”? since they all seem to have an i-pad or cell phone…….I don’t see a bat or a ball anywhere!!!

Even the best Sabermatrician can’t hold a candle to Vin Scully.

Yes “Money Ball” and Bill James’ overuse of a new kind of baseball statistics have evolved the game so that robots can now play the National Past-its-time!!

Did anybody else notice that they have binary numbers on the back of their shirts?

So….. who’s on first?

No, that’s old school. Practically middle ages.

Metric Baseball? Measuring the speed of the Pitch in Meters per second will never catch on..Then there’s the controversy about making the distance around the bases an even 30 Meters instead of the current 90 feet..Worst of all, of course, is the switch to Metric Hot Dogs. Calling it a “25 Centimeter” just doesn’t offer the same satisfaction as a “Foot Long” even if it Does come closer to “Truth in Advertising” as a name.

Had to look up that word.

It ain’t funny if you have no idea what the heck the strip is about. Jokes for .00001 % of readers are a waste of time.

Ouch! New word and not enough coffee yet.
