So when Heyward struggles, it is proof they were right that he wasn't a good hitter. When someone points out the facts showing Heyward was a good hitter until last season, in their heads that means the data proves the league just hadn't figured out how to exploit him yet.

Same thing when presented with the fact that pitching prospects are more risky and less valuable than hitting prospects. Any normally rational human would conclude that it's wise to invest in hitting prospects. However, since thethe is the ultimate Braves homer, and the Braves are focusing on pitching, he morphs the fact into evidence proving it's a good thing to stockpile pitching.

It is called confirmation bias, and it is completely opposite of having an intuitive and curious intellect.


What's beginning to get scary is the idea that there's a picture of some of us over your bed.

At what point did I enter into this discussion - other than as part of your odd thoughts???

Talk about obsessed.
