Maybe there's tinfoil in my hat, after all...

Well, I used to think that some of the comments about games being scripted with comeback logic were wishful thinking by people prone to reminding the rest of us that the Dunning-Kruger Effect is real, but I just played a game where something seemed rotten in the state of Denmark...
I'll start by saying that I lost, and I should have; this dude lit up my Scherzer for 8 in the bottom of the 1st. Granted, it was at Sh*tfit, but I got hit really hard and I was actually trying. After the first, though, he only managed to scratch across 3 runs over the next 6 innings... off of Marcus Semien and Buster Posey.
Perhaps I should roll Posey out there more often, after going 3 strong, giving up only 1 run on 1 hit (and the validity of that being an earned run is questionable, as a walked batter had scored on a ball that made Vlad pee himself in right).
It was all very strange. He was using all the right players, I guess, but Ruth, Mantle, Trout, Tatis, and Foxx were just slogging lazy flies that Brock and Pache were running down. I only put up 3 myself over that time, but dude was making all-world diving plays and even robbed an HR (beautiful play, really) to keep me from inching closer.
Sure, it could have been a string of normal chance occurrences that just felt like the gods were pulling for me, but it did make me scratch my head a little. I ended up quitting in the 7th after an exchange or two with my opponent where we noted how bizarre this game was; it just didn't feel right to keep going.

I’m confused as to why tin foil would be in a hat.

I didn’t do anything, I promise. Barely a day goes by without someone blaming me for something that’s happened in game
