The Colorado Rockies Beat the Cincinnati Reds 13-2; The Private Market Has Produced the Variance It Always Produces

Every Individual Game in Professional Baseball Is a Private Market Event Whose Outcome the Roster Construction Cannot Guarantee

The Result

AMERICA — The Colorado Rockies, who operate with one of baseball’s smallest payrolls in one of baseball’s most challenging pitcher-unfriendly environments (Coors Field, elevation 5,279 feet), beat the Cincinnati Reds 13-2. The Reds are 18-10 and leading the NL Central. The Rockies are in the NL West with the record that their roster construction produces across 162 games. On this specific Monday, the market produced a 13-2 result that neither team’s roster construction predicted. This is the private market doing what private markets do: producing variance.

The Private Market of Baseball Games

The private market of individual baseball games is the specific market where the payroll differential — the Reds outspend the Rockies by multiples — does not guarantee the daily outcome. The daily outcome is determined by the specific matchup of the starting pitcher, the specific defensive plays, and the specific at-bat outcomes that the nine innings produce. The market, meaning the actual game, prices these specific inputs on the day, not on the seasonal roster construction basis. The Rockies’ pitcher had a good day. The Reds’ pitcher did not.

The Season’s Market

The season’s market — 162 games — is the specific private market mechanism that corrects for individual game variance: the team that outperforms its talent level on Monday will underperform it on some subsequent day, and the 162-game aggregate produces the standings that reflect the underlying talent level more accurately than any individual game. The Reds at 18-10 are performing at a level that their talent suggests they can sustain. The Rockies at whatever-their-record-is are performing at the level their talent produces across 162 days.

The Surfer’s Observation

The surfer’s observation: every wave is a private market event whose quality is determined by the specific conditions on the specific day, not by the general quality of the surf spot. Snapper Rocks at double-overhead with offshore winds is a premium product. Snapper Rocks on a 13-2-equivalent day — onshore winds, closeout sets — is a different product. The market conditions determine the daily experience. The seasonal average of those daily experiences is what the surf break’s reputation is based on. Both baseball and surfing are managed by humans but delivered by nature. The private market provides the framework. Nature provides the variance. Read The Daily Mash.
