What the fuck are you even talking about?

Baseball

Even worse it was with the Vedder Cup on the line.

Is the Vedder Cup up for grabs again? What an amazing trophy win for us last season. Hope we can defend it successfully this time around.

I forgot about the Vedder Cup. OMG, the dumbest thing ever.

They give away a TON of wins, every fucking year since Dipoto was here, because they can't hit water if they fall out of a boat. Sorry if I'm less concerned about the defense right now than what is yet another dogshit offense under this Front Office. You do realize that 100 wins is outstanding righ...

Might consider taking a stats 101 class so you dont look SILLY,

How have teams that started 8-9 fared?

How about 8-9 "or worse" lol.

Slugging .345, they are 8-7 I mean the premise of this thread was that the Mariners were probably doomed because they started 4-9. But now they're 8-9. Stil...

What tells you the Mariners are a good team playing poorly?

Read my post. I said they might suck. I was just commenting on how ludicrous the stat was. 4-9 tells you zilch.

If you only included 4-9 teams it would logically show a higher percentage that had successful seasons. There's no reason to include "or worse" in the breakdown. But, my point was two-fold, not only does the stat include "or worse" but it ignores all the relevant data. Were the games close? What was...
