Here is a possible scenario... Seattle 2-1 Vs NY 2-1 Vs Tex 2-1 Vs Hou 2-1 Vs Oak Final Record 85-77 Minnesota 1-3 Vs. Cle 1-2 Vs. Bos 2-1 Vs. Mia 1-2 Vs Bal Final Record 84-76 Detroit 1-2 Vs KC 1-2 Vs Bal 2-1 Vs TB 3-0 Vs Chi Final Record 84-76 Can't afford to lose any more series and if they coul...

Honestly it feels like that should be paying out more. fangraphs has them at a 4% chance to make the playoffs. that's a 1 in 25 chance. $10 should be paying out more like $250 to make it a fair bet. I guess that's how they make money.

Great... but a team of 9 power hitters doesn't win you much IMO. That's why rosters are made of players with diverse skill sets. Rosters are made of diverse skill sets because there simply aren't enough decent power hitters to fill out 30 rosters and It would be cost prohibitive to try and build a ...

And it still goes without answering why OPS+ or wRC+ doesn't tell the whole story with Ichiro... his base-hitting ability + ability to run the bases was elite which was his role. The speed has some value but its not as valuable as hitting for power. Getting a single and stealing second doesn't driv...

Arraez has hit .324 over the last 4 years. If it was 20 years earlier with the exact same skill set, I think he could have been of a .340 hitter like Ichiro was from 2001-2004. For overall production, nobody would ever touch roided up Barry naturally but I absolutely think Judge could have hit close...

I just disagree that "singles hitters" aren't important. Both Justin Turner and Cal Raleigh would laugh at you if you asked them if they are as good as Ichiro in his prime this year. 2024 Raleigh is better than 2003 Ichiro. I'll take the guy with 66 runs scored and 93 RBI on a team with 617 runs ov...

This series with NY is doubly important because they have a 3 game lead on Baltimore. Both Minnesota and Detroit have series coming up with Baltimore and we want them to be playing for something rather than resting starters and trying to set up their rotation for the playoffs. If we can take this se...

Not only do we have to worry shot the twins, but we have to worry about Detroit, who has the tiebreaker and are playing well lately. Not sure if 8-4 cuts it. Probably need 9-3 The most worrisome thing about Detroit is they close out the season against the White Sox. You don't want to go into that l...

We beat a team on the road that beat a team on the road that was one PI away from beating the World Champions....on the road... I know better than to try and play the algebra equivalency game with the NFL. Glad to be 2-0 but they barely squeaked by a Denver team that is probably going to have a top...
