Do you leave the room

[jrinne]

When one of your prospect you've invested in is at bat? I'm invested pretty heavy in Khris Davis, Grant Green and AJ *******. I know this is stupid but I feel like every time I watch them play they never do well and every time I don't watch them play they do great. I usually watch every Brewers game during the season, my wife has told me that I need to leave the room when Khris bats because I jinx him. Anyone else feel this way about their favorite ball player or investments?

I've changed the channel many nights in the past 2 weeks watching the Rockies freefall out of the standings. So, not quite what you're doing but I get that sick feeling in my stomach and I have to look away.

I change seats or change the volume, because it couldn't be MY fault

I love watching my players play. But I can't watch more than 2 or 3 innings of my Phillies in the playoffs. I can barely watch at all if they're in the World Series. Luckily that's only happened every 10-25 years or so during my lifetime.

I have little superstitious idiosyncrasies in all sports I'm involved in. (I think this is actual evidence in life that sports are great!)

But, if you're invested in Khris Davis, you may want to stay in the room next time. As it can't get much worse.

When Domonic Brown was in the middle of his hot streak I developed a ritual where I put my knee up against the couch arm and faced the opposite direction of the scree. I wasn't invested in him money wise though I just wanted him to succeed and I knew I held the power to his success in my knees.

It's not crazy. It's sports.

Collectors are prone to OCD; OCD sufferers are prone to ego-driven beliefs that they hold some power over events, both tangible and intangible. So what I'm saying is, yes.

I watch every at bat I can of my player collected guy because his AB's are numbered.

At least you're not a Giants fan....talk about SICKENING

Not completely on topic but I feel that whenever I watch a Cubs game, they will lose, then when I don't they get their wins*. Granted they've always sucked to some degree so losses are like candy to them but still can't help but feel if I didn't watch that game or this game they would have won.

*rare wins

I only leave the room when Yusiel Puig is at bat... because I got so sick of hearing ESPN sportscasters say "no one leaves the room when Puig is at bat."

I felt like a jinx for a couple of the Rangers playoff games against Tampa Bay. They seemed to lose when I attended the games. Went to 2 games versus Detroit and they won both so jinx was reversed.

I haven't been watching as much this last few weeks and they are playing much better.
