there might be a better chance of winning the division than getting a wildcard.    :surprised:

4 times less likely actually

We play Clev 6x.  If we went 4-2, we would have to make up 4.5 games

No counting games against each other, Clev has 17 of 30 gms vs winning record teams. We have 12 of 29 vs winning teams.

We still have a better chance at a Wildcard, but if Cleve goes under .500 in games not against Us, then the chance is definitely there.

And you've been right a lot lately :lol:

if you're trying to force "your thing" as not getting it, it's backfiring.

Pretty good article.  Tiny sample size, but impressive numbers.  The swing-and-miss rates may drop as hitters see him more, but I wouldn't expect the spin rates to change, so he projects to be pretty good going forward.

Steven Wright is my second favorite comedian, but like my 1,395,287th favorite starting pitcher.

WRC+ of 110 puts him above average. K% is down, ISO is up while playing at a higher level. I don't think he looks like a star, but he could be productive. He'll likely make his ML debut next year or the year after.

6 pack says he doesnt make a 25-man by the end of 2017.

one interesting thing with him is that he's just absolutely destroyed right-handers, but has gotten hit by lefties.  i dunno if that's an artifact of the small sample or if it means something.  it'd be nice to see his minor-league splits, but i don't know where to look for those.

I'm inclined to say we are playing at an illegal stade tonight.  MFRM2 might negate that however.

i assume we have someone charged with letting rm2 know about stadium dimensions for road games.  i don't think they see all that great at distance.
