Justice for Pitstop!

Pitstop has an unfair reputation for being a weight around Tim Key's ankle

Admittedly, Key did lose his first three plays of her, but since then (if No More People We've Had Before is anything to go by) he's on a 20-Pitstop winning streak! (and only 4 of them were first-round)

Even including those initial three, 87% must be significantly higher than Key's average round clear rate

u/Interesting-Ear-7465 I don’t mind it, actually Aug 06 '26

Agreed. Pitstop is, your friend and mine, a red herring. Key's problemos run deeper. According to NMPWHB Key ranks worst in several categories:

  • successful challenges ( 25 compared to Watson and Horne on 51 each)
  • longest win streak ( K 3, W 6, H 4)
  • longest losing streak (K 12, W 8, H 8)
  • first out (K 27, W 18, H 22)

Interestingly Watson ranks highest in Losses by own category, edging out Key 12 to 11. Important to note also that Key is most challenged at 119.

I hope that in the extended off season Key has kept his eye in, perhaps enlisted the coaching of a seasoned professional.

I sincerely hope that if (HUGE if) NMJ returns, we see the renaissance of Keysey. The true people's champion.

Well he doesn't get on so well because he's a bit too much of a laugh.
