A Stare into the Abyss

Somewhere along the way each great venture comes to a place where failure changes from being a conceptual abstract to being all too real and much too close.  When and how this arrives is largely irrelevant.  Failure is final.  And, it is readily available.  There is only one cogent question: Does the venture have the wherewithal to avoid it?

The rocky shores of the waters that comprise sports are littered with the detritus of wonderful seasons unmercifully smashed and sunken.  Life comes at you fast.  But, playoff extinction comes much, much faster.  In baseball the change from regular season to post-season is the most radical of any professional sport.  Each regular season game comprises six-tenths of one-percent of the whole.  Enter the Division Round of the playoffs where three strikes means the entire team is out.  These are two different existences.  Every shipwreck story starts with a departure from port in calm waters.  Baseball playoffs skip all of the development chapters and goes straight to violent waves, total darkness, and unmarked rocks.  It happens in a blink.

9th 18-gamer: Waiting for October

Posted on October 7, 2017 by Section222

For previous 18 gamers, click here.

With the playoffs already underway, I’m pretty sure no one really wants to read a detailed account of the Nats’ last 18 games, all of which occurred after the NL East clinching victory in Game 143.  And I certainly don’t want to write said account.

But I do feel strangely obligated to complete the year with a quick update to the various stats and trends we’ve been following over course of the season. So here goes, and apologies in advance to anyone who finds this 18-gamer less compelling or entertaining than the previous eight.  That’s kind of the way this set was. Continue reading →
