Maybe it is 100% regression to the mean like you think -- but as soon as it happened I felt strongly that the Pirates needed to turn the next game into an absolute circus and start throwing at the heads of Reds players.

Having your star get drilled with a 101 MPH fastball up high -- have him come back and throw a fit in the dugout -- and do absolutely nothing about it ... read the Art of War, what would Sun Tzu do?
