Heard this stat earlier today. When a batter on a ML team hits a 3-run homer, his team wins 80% of their games.

When a pitcher posts a quality start, his team wins 70% of their games.

Let's do both.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's do both.

 

I agree. But that could still leave the score at 3-3 after 6 innings.

[Thunder]

Win. Dance. Repeat.

 

And then tell the same thing to the Celtics

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Theoretically, a pitcher could throw a quality start in every game he pitched during the season and still end up with an ERA of 4.50. Edited May 3, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

I just want Sale to have a good game! Like he did against Seattle..... Do that..... except with more velocity and strikeouts lol.

[Kimmi]

The opposing pitcher has a 6+ ERA. We better win handily tonight!

[Slasher9]

Let's do both.

 

I like that. Then we win 150% of the time!

Actually, Lopez' stats are almost exactly equal overall to Sale's stats.

Let's see if the new Minny team (Cleveland now in trouble) can finally win a game or two in the Big Apple--against a much weakened nemesis. Theyv'e played so wretchedly there in recent years. Maybe this will be their statement weekend.

The Skanks have beaten the Twinkies at a .700 + clip at the Stadium over the last 2 decades. The script always goes the same way -- the Twinkies take an early lead and then tighten up and the Twins manager makes several panic moves handing the Yankees a victory. It is like a broken record.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Got a terrible haircut so we may score 18 runs tonight .way it's always gone down for me . Edited May 4, 2019 by Swiharts Ghost

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX have an 80% chance now of winning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad Devers and JBJ couldn't meld into one player.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't know how well Chavis will evolve defensively, but I'm fairly sure he's gonna evolve into a very good hitter.

[jung]

atta boy Rafi. Way to come back next day.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With Sale's slider 94 is fast enough.

[TylerD]

Big lead early!!!!!

 

Was watching the hockey game. Canes utterly dominating the Islanders.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of the hot hitting Devers, who would you select as the best all-around 3rd baseman? I'd pick Mike Schmidt. Edited May 4, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[TylerD]

With Sale's slider 94 is fast enough.

 

Agreed. If he can do this for another 6 innings I’m happy.

[Oscars]

Good start with the bats.

Sale good but inefficient with 23 pitches

[Oscars]

Middle middle pitch and Leon can’t even foul it off

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, at least Cora took my advise by not putting JBJ and Leon in the same line-up.

[Oscars]

With a runner on first and none out how about bunting Leon so at least it’s a productive out

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A normal batter strikes out and causes one out. A terribly bad batter strikes out and causes two outs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fate has caused both JBJ and Leon batting back-to back. UGH!

[Slasher9]

Dude doesn’t even know how to slide into 2b without getting injured. Mind boggling

[Slasher9]

Fate has caused both JBJ and Leon batting back-to back. UGH!

 

Nope. Pearce is playing OF.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fate has caused both JBJ and Leon batting back-to back. UGH!

 

My bad. I didn't realize that JBJ was not available.
