As a fan of the Crabs, I am honestly a little disappointed that we got a blessing this season, because if we had somehow not won anything despite having ~50% of the vote in three different blessings, the Crabs' lore of rage at unjust treatment by the Blaseball Gods and their rebellion against them, everyone, and even The Commissioner (who, regardless of our diplomatic relationship, is doing a great job) would've been turned up to 111, which would've been amazing.
That makes total sense to me! Sometimes it's more narratively satisfying to have the frustrating thing happen because it's just such a good STORY. And it was a good blessing, too. Rats.
Hey Cat! I'm the one made that star ratings formula sheet and good news there's an updated one with newer info. I sent you a Twitter DM with more information, please check it and get back to me when you can. Thanks!
Got a typo in the Figure 1 caption, should be "Society for Internet Blaseball Research." And your math for Wyatt Glover's surgery is slightly off. They started at 1/2, re-rolled to to 1/2, re-rolled to 1/2 again, and then finally to 0. I became a fan of the game and the Tacos just after they became the Unlimited Tacos, because, hey, who doesn't want unlimited tacos? I didn't even know their original name, but the story behind it made me an even bigger fan. The Wyatt Masoning and the Exploratory Surgery stuff is such a bizarre series of events and part of why I love this game and community to bits. It's adorably weird.
I've updated the Wyatt Glover data to reflect this! Thanks for letting me know--that's even more narratively satisfying. For me, I mean, who is not rooting for the Tacos. Sorry to you all but this is hilarious.

Interesting fact, NaN is the original Wyatt mason
