Its a really interesting comparison. It really does show that talent matters and the small ball tactical stuff is just ... chrome on the bumper.
Atlanta won 101 games but was below water in 1-run games 17-25. That's interesting. Their blowout numbers (wins of 5+ runs) was 37-19.
Detroit lost 119 and was above water in 1-run games 19-18. The blowout number was 7-40 UGH!
My frustration with them being in a bunch of extra inning losses is mainly because they had to fight their tails off to be in those games where being better in the first place would have avoided that outcome.
The fact that Eric Haase can’t get a runner over and Javy Baez WON’T are just symptoms.
Team culture matters when players don't toss extra inning games away because with a runner on 2nd they refuse to hit the ball to the right side or go for the kill shot hit. This team has multiple losses just from that this season.
BTW, i’ve been in a bunch of NATO cities this last week and i will say, NATO is solid and against Russia all the way. Actually it’s shocking.
But genocide tends to focus the mind.
The thread was and only is about cleaning up the insanity on the RW in American Politics. Whatever, directives comrade piggie received from his bosses won't change that.
At an undisclosed location in the GMT time zone. Gametime is like 1am. Talk about your west coast game headaches. I feel bad for Jed our twitter follow from the UK.
Do i think Trump will win? No. He’s already lost three elections in a row. Do i want a game to be close in the 9th inning or would i prefer a blowout? Yes.
