It isn't a question of how many sets! It is the size of the denominator in the fraction; how many total attempts the percentage covers. Demps was two kills, two errors on six swings. today. One of the errors gets played instead of going wide, and her percentage goes from .000 to .167. It is simply too small a sample to draw any particular conclusion from, good or bad. And then there's the opponent. Franklin today was 9 kills, no errors, 12 swings. That's .750. That's great. But it's against Rhode Island. And apologies to Rhode Island, but that simply doesn't mean as much as if you do that against Nebraska etc. It just doesn't. Saying "Robinson has struggled over the last three matches" when two of those three were only six swings, and in matches where her performance simply did not matter to the outcome of the match is VERY misleading. I don't know if you're doing that with some intent, or you don't really understand the idea of 'sample size', but it is still quite misleading. Whatever dude! We will agree to disagree. In my opinion Robinson had had three consecutive matches where she wasn't quite herself. You can mine the statistics but you can't change her hitting percentage. Whether or not a player plays high volume or not doesn't preclude them from having an off night. You can agree to continue to mis-characterize things, and I can agree to continue to point it out when you do so. |

Get off your high horse. |

I'm gonna try one more time, if only to make it clear to anyone else unfortunate enough to be reading along. Take out the Campbell and Rhode Island matches in which Robinson "struggled" from her season stats, and she is 60 kills, 17 errors, on 129 attempts. A .333 percentage Include those two matches and her "struggles" in those, and she drops "all the way" to a .305 percentage. Because it only adds 12 attempts to the total. It has little effect because it is such a small number of swings compared to the other matches. She might have had individual sets with that many swings taken. It is quite quite misleading to equate the result of a match where only six swings are taken with a match where 25 or 30 swings are taken. And again, there is the opponent and the 'need' for her to be effective. |
