You realize that in games where your star hitter doesn't do well, you have a significantly smaller chance of winning, and that has nothing to do with cheating, right?

All other things being equal, I'd have to agree, but they were not equal.

You realize that there WAS a fix in this series, and that Jackson at the very least knew about it, right? (maybe you don't, given that you quoted the stats but edited out the mention of Jackson admittedly letting up in certain situations)
