TC: Run differential eats at his conscious,
And he cant breathe without it!
And, in the computer, they found a spreadsheet,
But they didn't say, who it was to.
Come to think about it,
His name was:
It was you.

KP: You were singing Dido, and now I know why. And really prescient because you can see now the notes that I have--
TC: I didn't even see the notes! I knew what the fucking notes were! I knew what you were going to say! I know where you're coming from!

KP: If you look at the playoff odds, Fangraphs has the Ms up to--
TC: Don't.
KP: --1.5 % to win the division, 3% to make the playoffs--
TC: Stupid horseshit! Oh my god!...
KP: The good news is the M's have never gotten off to a flukish start.

TC: Any time there is joy in the city of Seattle--you care more about run differential than you do about wins and losses--that's the thing, in fact, people always complain--wow, here's a take right here--[frothing at the mouth]

TC: The only thing that stats people care about *is* point differential. You can narrow it all down--all of it--& really what it is is you're all just explaining point differential.
KP: I mean-
TC: Thanks. Thank you for that.
KP: That may not be inaccurate..

TC: How many computers do you need to just look at one number minus another number? I'm about 2 numbers right here, and that's wins-and-losses. And *that's* where the Mariners are excelling
KP: The thing is people will say you're being a downer about this..

TC: Who's happy to be winning & then have a person be like: "This isn't gonna last! You're welcome!" That's you! You're that guy. "Ah, you kids!"
KP: The point is to set expectations reasonably, so you won't be disappointed and upset.

KP: It's the happier way to live.
TC: The happier way to live.
KP: Really is!
TC: See the Mariners win a game and be like: "Well, that's not repeatable." How is this the happier way to live?
KP: BECAUSE THE SEASON IS GOING TO CONTINUE! [pandemic disclaimer]

KP: Again, if everybody was just happy-go-lucky and like: "Ok whatever happens the rest of the season is whatever happens." But that's NOT HOW ANY HUMAN EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD HAS OPERATED. They get their hopes up based on this fluky shit...

KP: It's got to be someone's fault, and then you blame the manager, or you blame the best player... This is how fandom has worked for *all time*. And you can pretend that isn't the case, but here's what I believe in: I believe in learning from the past.

TC: The most important thing is I just want to hang out with Ted Lasso, it doesn't actually matter--BOOM! ROASTED! RIGHT THERE!--I don't care what the plot of the whole season is, I care about being with my friend Ted Lasso for all these games.
