Starting 13 July, the Blue Jays had a new interim manager, John Schneider. A miraculous improvement happened immediately:
- 2 wins, 9 losses in 11 games immediately prior to new interim manager (2-12 July).
- 9 wins, 2 losses in 11 games immediately after new interim manager (13-28 July).
Some might say change was because of small sample size or because they ended a normal slump. They would be hand-waving at a huge dramatic change (2 wins to 9 wins), perhaps losing an opportunity to discover an insight.
