NLD 27 - The legend continues!

[Jeepdriver]

Actually Joe is only 2 wins under his expected W/L with a -45 R.D. I know much of that is recent, but In all due respect he's not really underperforming that much.

Meanwhile a msg. to Mr. Stoney. You're close enogh now. Back off a little! :wink:

Jeep,

Yeah, that -24 series dropped 3-4 wins off of the old pythag.

I'm just really frustrated with a pitching staff that just shouldn't be *this* bad I don't think. Bottom middle? OK. Dead last, by almost 60 runs? Seems worse than expected especially when you look at a couple of the other staffs in the league. We spent only 1.5 under the league average on pitching (not that that's the only measure) and there are three teams that spend 3 mil or more less than us.

In addition, we're hitting .253 and opponents are at .280 so it's not just the park.

If some of these numbers even out a bit, we may make a run, but maybe these guys just aren't very good despite what their cards indicate to me. <shrug>

Silver,

Yeah maybe a LHRP instead of Zumaya would have been better. Zum is a little backwards however. I realize these guys are getting creamed by LHB's I guess I''m sort of thinking that at least Halladay and Hensely shouldn't be getting hit *this* bad. Myers even less so. <shrug>

Yeah, you're right about Lopez, that's because we've played so many games where the "mop up" comes in.

So, you think with only a 3 number difference on HRs and no difference on singles you need to be *that* much better v LHB's?

All,

I have some BP specific ratings that I'll post, probably tomorrow, that does explain at least a little bit why our W/L isn't as good as our rating, but it still doesn't explain the pitching.

Thanks for the feedback, gives me something to think about.

That game will help out the old pythag, but I wish I'd have gotten a few of those in the previous game!

Wow. 19 runs in Gm3. I think Joe's team made up for a lot of frustration there. In addition to beating me like a bloody pulp he knocked out both my SS and 3B, too. :shock:

[joethejet]

Sorry about that Jeep, I know how it feels, I don't think we've had our whole team available for an entire series for around 30 games.

We managed to allow 26 runs last night. We managed to win one game, by scoring 12 of our own.

I just know our pitching isn't *this* bad. It's pretty ridiculous actually. Heck, we were playing in Citi field, not exactly a band box. :roll:

Oh well, what are you going to do?

Well, gotta keep you guys entertained. ;)

Getting my money's worth even if we do suck. 8-)
