Noted cat hater Will Campbell allowed a season high 14 QB pressures in the Super Bowl, while my two sweet and loving cats allowed 0 combined. Really makes you think 🤔

Introducing your team to Bush - Machinehead before playing the @BuffaloSabres is definitely a choice. Might as well let us wear the goatheads on the road too.
@inthethirddeck I think even if you set the number to 4, the difference in probabilities between each streak is negligible. Accounting for avg PA or AB would change the end probabilities as well, but likely with a similar negligible outcome.
@trevorplouffe and @ChrisRose I dug deeper into Trev's question from the other day's Baseball Today ep regarding which is "harder", Mantle's 56 game hitting streak or Williams' 84 game on base streak.
First, I figured out the probability of an average MLB player recording either
to get approximate odds of 0.00000000000000791% and 0.00000000000000853% respectively.
So, in conclusion, Dimaggio's streak was technically more difficult, but when you build it out that far, you're really splitting hairs and both should be considered borderline impossible.
game and a 68% chance a league average batter will get on base.
Next to determine the probability of those events happening consecutively, we multiply those odds by themselves the number of games in each streak i.e. .56⁵⁶ and .68⁸⁴
