Whoever would have come out of the AL West in 1994 would have been the biggest dog poo poo run differential team to ever make the playoffs. What a shame.

Hope they do a Good Place-esque plot twist at the end of the season and point out that Joe Jackson was guilty as gently caress.

alpha_destroy posted:yeah there is a weirdness though where the PA contract start in like 23, but the league contract starts in like 26 or w/e. So... what happens in that 3 year gap? We get cards like Panini with no logos or team names? Will Topps even be able to print cards in those 3 years, because you can scrub logos, but if you have no players you have no cards. Hell yeah - bring back the hilariously bad 1970's era airbrushing.

Twin Cinema posted:Wow, look at this dumb post. What an absolute idiot. Welcome to every waking moment of an M's fan's life. Just Lucy and the football over and over and over. At least you have that nice shiny run differential. Edit: Oh the M's are 7-1 over their last 8. With a three game series against Houston coming up? Gonna kick that football so far this time.

The M's are gonna max out the heart break down the stretch by sweeping those games with the Royals and D-Backs for sure.

For Lucy's next trick, she'll be clubbing the M's fan Charlie Brown to death with a bat while laughing maniacally.

Its Rinaldo posted:That's a nice looking one run game you got there Love these totally sustainable comeback dummies.   Somehow only 5-8 against Houston despite a -25 run differential. 7-4 against Oakland with a -9.

Inspector_666 posted:I love how the other answers are much more serious and thoughtful and Mullins is like "BLERNSBALL!" The internet is wonderful as I can have a vague memory of poo poo I read 29 years ago and find it within minutes. From a 1992 SI article about the death of baseball, which has somehow been dying every year ever since... Andy Van Slyke had some OG blernsball ideas on how to keep things interesting.  https://vault.si.com/vault/1992/04/06/a-blueprint-for-baseball-the-game-needs-remodeling-so-the-author-has-drawn-up-a-nine-point-plan

 Chaos M's are 10-3 in their last 13 games with a -4 run differential. Embrace the stupidity.

Admiral Joeslop posted:I don't even know what run differential means IcePhoenix posted:it's the difference between runs scored and runs allowed And it's a quick and easy means of ballparking what a team's record *should* be. The good ol' triangle Pythagorean theorem, but for baseball. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Pythagorean_Theorem_of_Baseball Not surprisingly, the better your run differential the better your record should be. The Mariners are for what seems to be the 4th or 5th time in recent years, outperforming their expected record by a stupid amount. On the flip side of the coin, the Blue Jays are not.
