Posted May 12, 200520 yr We were ranked #5 last week and now were ranked #7. The White Sox are still on top of coarse...and the Braves have made their way to the #2 spot. And the Royals are a lost cause in last. Here's what they say about us: Good stat from the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel: Marlins have outscored opponents 75-31 from the sixth inning on. They could have mentioned how many runs we've allowed any many other things. But of coarse, they can never praise us too much. Discuss. Link
May 12, 200520 yr Braves are overrated. Cards are better. Orioles are better. Braves should be #4 at best.
May 12, 200520 yr Author Braves are overrated. Cards are better. Orioles are better. Braves should be #4 at best. 770723[/snapback] Totally agreed. They even have a better record than the Braves. I'd put the Braves at #4, us at #5, the Dodgers at #6, and the Twins at #7...

Link 770717[/snapback] I see nothing wrong with what they said about us 770733[/snapback] It's much better than last time when they said "Only Cardinals starters have given up fewer home runs this season in the NL (Florida seven, St. Louis six)." But they could have said some better stuff about us. That's all I'm saying.

Link 770717[/snapback] I see nothing wrong with what they said about us 770733[/snapback] I agree. That stat they mentioned is one of the best stats a team can have. That means we arent giving up a lot runs late in the game, and we are scoring a lot of runs late in the game. The ability to hold teams and score against teams late win more ball games most of the time.
May 12, 200520 yr Author Personally, I would have either given some great pitching stat that we have...such as our RA, team ERA, the 3 big young guns stats,...etc. Or I would have said that we've outscored our opponents by more runs than any other team in the majors. I personally like those better, but what they said about us is suffice.

Also, learn some English because "...about us is suffice." doesn't really work. Something like, "...about us will suffice." works a bit better. /Grammar Nazi
May 12, 200520 yr Author Hmmm ranked 7th with CBS Sportsline too. :confused Linky 770753[/snapback] Came into week boasting the majors' only sub-3.00 staff ERA at 2.78. I like that. Also, they have the Braves at #5, which IMO is a lot more accurate.

These players' averages are then combined to create the overall ranking. Players are penalized for games missed and pitchers need to meet innings pitched criteria to make the list. The Rankings are updated daily.
May 12, 200520 yr Author We're still #1 in the CBS Sportsline Team Rankings. Link 770760[/snapback] :thumbup And we have a big lead. 164.83-151.87. But the WhiteSox are ranked #4, that isn't right... Were ranked #1 there because of our SP(#1) and OF(#2). Also, The top 2 ranked pitchers there are on the Marlins!!! Dontrelle=#1, and Josh=#2! And AJ is #15... Link Go D-Train and Joshy!

And Encarnacion deserves to be 6th the way he's been playing, and Cabrera is by far the best LF there.
May 12, 200520 yr Author To finish it off for the Marlins: Paul=5th Delgado=7th (needs some work, Lee is 1st) Castillo=10th-I expect more AGON=22nd :plain Lowell=18th-when he breaks out of his slump he'll be in the top 5 Perisho=21st Jones=26th What we already said: Cabrera: 1st JP= 11th Encarnacion=6th Dontrelle=1st Josh=2nd AJ=15th And that's it all.
