The Royals

[Rage Against the McKee]

Nuts Kicked that is completely outrageous. Ketchup never wins, I mean never. They just arbitrarily add points to ketchup's total during the season.

I only go to one, maybe 2 games per year, and ketchup always wins when I am there. Maybe I'm just the most unlucky Royals fan in the world or something, because I want nothing more than to see ketchup fall on his fat red face, and he never does.

ketchup fell flat on its face about 2/3 through the race. Relish's shoes came off, which allowed it to catch up to mustard. Relish dove across the line a fraction of a second before mustard.

you gotta be fracking me. so is there like a rules committee i can take this to? gotta be some kind of rule that you have to keep your shoes on...

[nicname]

is there a kenpom-type thingie for MLB? seems like there should be, since MLB is so stats-oriented. Predictive database would be pretty BA

Can confirm it would be BA

They have Pythagorean win-loss:

Baseball stats are ridiculous. "Chipper Jones leads the league in RBI's when the runner in scoring position stole one of the bases while facing a LHP in a divisional series following a lost series in interleague play in which he was batting under .250."

Based on that, we're on pace to win 65% of our games.

THAT'S 106 GAMES, YOU GUYS!!!

That formula says we would probably win 96 games last year, we won 72. So we're 10 games better than last year with a very small sample size.

Those aren't baseball statistics. Those are ESPN broadcasters killing air time.

No, those are baseball statistics. Elias tracks rough ridin' everything dude. Maybe not statistics that many people will ever use or even see but crap that scouts keep an eye on.
