In that passage, Hinkie quotes Amos Tversky, a behavioral economist whose work underlies much of Daniel Kahneman’s popular book Thinking Fast and Slow, in identifying that we compress probabilities down to “gonna happen”, “not gonna happen”, and “maybe”. Just the command wasn’t there tonight.

Bumgarner said he felt good but wasn’t able to make quality pitches. I mean, we have a good team.
Before the Phillies scored five runs in the eighth against Smith and Sergio Romo, Bumgarner did not resemble an ace in the slightest over five innings, plus a batter be couldn’t retire.
TIGERS 11, WHITE SOX 5: Miguel Cabrera hit his third home run in two games, Victor Martinez also went deep and the Detroit Tigers won their seventh straight by beating the Chicago White Sox 11-5 Tuesday night.
“That’s not how I wanted the first one to go”, Smith said. “Hopefully I can get in there tomorrow and do my job”.
Angel Pagan’s two-run homer in the sixth gave the Giants their first lead of the game, but it was shortlived.
It was not the way the Giants envisioned starting a nine-game road trip down the Eastern Seaboard after battening down their roster prior to Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline. “That was difference in the game”. After Altherr’s two-run homer in the first, Philadelphia tallied four two-out runs in the second after third baseman Eduardo Nunez made an error. The right-hander entered Wednesday’s start with a 5.46 ERA in 10 starts against Philadelpha, Cueto’s highest ERA against any team he’s faced five-plus times. Their 15 hits were two shy of matching a season high.

Brett Oberholtzer, Michael Mariot, Hector Neris, Edubray Ramos, David Hernandez, and Garcia pieced together seven scoreless innings to keep the Phillies within striking distance. Crawford hit a two-run single and Belt tied the game with a three-run shot. Phils starter Phil Klein gave up all four runs on eight hits through five innings with six relievers putting up zeros.
“The only thing I can say is they beat me”, Cueto said through interpreter Erwin Higueros. “It should be fun”. That’s the way I choose to look at it. You can’t pitch 20 starts as well as he’s pitched and all of a sudden just lose it….
Last night the Philadelphia Phillies played a game against the first-place San Francisco Giants.
Plate ump Bob Davidson stopped the game, walked toward where the fan was sitting and had words with him after the man was yelling loudly in Davidson’s direction.
That might be the case, but ejecting fans isn’t totally unusual for Davidson.

“Oh yeah, I’ve gone up to guys who’ve said a bunch of stuff like that, and I said, ‘come on, there’s kids here… would you do that in front of your own kids?’ ” said Childs, who gets to about a half dozen Jays games a year. They dont have to come here and listen to that..
