It's not right at all. Prorate that winning percentage over 162 games and they're on pace to win between 115-116.
Figured it was something like that. The Cubs had that horrid stretch towards the end of June that knocked the pace down some.
This isn't even close to parody or exaggeration--it's a thing here in the metroplex and it makes me nauseated.
After all of these recent TKO's, I was more than a little alarmed that this game was actually loseable in the 9th. With Peacock going tomorrow, I would really like to see them attempt to tag up him and Feliz because Feliz's stuff is just too good to be reduced to largely mop up duties. Just doesn't feel like we are getting enough value out of this potentially dangerous weapon. Since May started he has pitched a grand total of 5 truly meaningful innings. With this huge cushion, now it the time to try some things.
Last year it was pointed out that the two greatest moments in Arlington franchise history are guys punching somebody.
It isn't right. 115 games. Maybe he is assuming some drop off or regressing to the mean of all teams. I dunno
Nah. Ike somebody said earlier, he may have been reflecting the Cubs season last year. I agree that extrapolating pace is usually not all that accurate in baseball. At some point, the Astros are going to lose a chunk of games. Let's hope it's after the division is clinched and they're just biding time before the post-season.
Considering the source, I can almost guarantee that his 103 wins is set by a pace based on the interpolation of rest of season records of teams with similar current records. Fangraphs has Astros at 100 wins without taking future trades into account. 538 has Astros at 104.
