Can Media Bias Effect The Outcome?

Question

of a game or even the season?

Answer 1

In the small sense (in a particular game, say), not a chance. These guys are pros. They should be able to block out any criticism.

There certainly are players who haven't handled certain situations well. Kenny Rogers and New York are one such pairing. The media probably added to the pressure level, although in fairness reporters may have only given fan critics a voice. Can that affect a pennant race? I guess, but you'd think that's taken into account in roster-building.

Answer 2

no tbs is temporary
