    Not a Joe fan but this a triple A lineup he’s working with.

    Pythagoras says we should be 58-48, we are 60-46

    What does the pythagoras say for the mariners and Rangers?

    You do know that formula is solely based on run differential, correct? You can literally calculate it any time you want.

    For the most part, runs = wins. And we’re getting to the point of the year where the sample size is large enough to say teams are relatively who they are.

    Obviously this Astros team is not the Astros team it should be in 2 weeks…. So we may have to rely on Euclid and Archimedes for the time being.

    Go talk to Isosceles, and bring Euclid with you

    Stros +2, M's +1, Rangers -7

    Jays +5, Tigers +1, Yankees -5

    Yeah, no it's not. We're 5 games ahead despite playing a AAA roster.

    I swear, fans' expectations when it comes to coaches/managers are ridiculous. There's a decent chance Espada wins AL Manager of the year and there are still fans wondering if he should be fired. Give me a break.
