At least the Cardinals are losing too

 

I'll take credit for picking Wacha for Baseball Challenge over Darvish.

terrible base running what are they thinking and about now fed up with AR. Hope we find someone there.

Red Sox are getting no hit and are entering the 9th to seal the deal.

[AZBrewCrew]

I just changed over to the Texas game. Was supposed to be in Dallas today too. Kinda kickin myself now

[adamb100]

No No is gone.

[AZBrewCrew]

David Ortiz breaks up no hit bid with base hit down 1-2 in the count

[dlk9s]

This team is just really bad right now. Hopefully "right now" is the operative part of that sentence.

[AZBrewCrew]

What ever mojo they started the season with is gone. Not sure how they get it back

Let's find out. Last season May was doomed due to an entire month of awful pitching. So now we have Pitching and we don't have the offense? Pitching wins championships no? So we should be better off regardless how poor we remain offensively....Right?

Is there any empirical evidence that teams that are slanted more towards pitching than hitting are more likely to win?

 

Let's say team A scores 100 more runs than they allow, while scoring 750, and allowing 650, and team B scores 100 more runs than they allow, while scoring 675, and allowing 575. Is there ANY evidence that says team B is 'more' championship worthy??

[TooLiveBrew]

Kintzler...more runs allowed.

He didn't really make any mistakes. Pure bad luck... two of the softest-hit balls you'll ever see

I don't know about "empirically," but logically, if you take your example to the extreme--say a team scores 200 runs, yet only gives up 20 runs the entire season, they are going to have an unbelievably good record--probably somewhere close to 145-17. Yet a team that scores 1000 runs and gives up 820 runs will have a far more difficult time reaching 145 wins....
