August 18, 201412 yr you know this team kinda sucks from an advanced metrics perspective, but that kinda makes me love them even more. Even Adeiny.
August 18, 201412 yr you know this team kinda sucks from an advanced metrics perspective, but that kinda makes me love them even more. Even Adeiny. I'm stretching it here but imagine if this team were to win the world series this year, do you realize how much it would fuck with the advanced metrics people? If it happens, I hope Adeiny gets the game winning hit too lol.
August 18, 201412 yr Geez these other teams who are ahead think they are in a playoff race too...they keep winning.
August 18, 201412 yr By the way, have I been the only one noticing that Hech has seriously been fun to watch the past week or so? I'm totally serious too.

Probably worst playoff team since the 2006 padres (82 and 80)
August 18, 201412 yr By the way, have I been the only one noticing that Hech has seriously been fun to watch the past week or so? I'm totally serious too. Yes. Timely hits and great D. All I care about
August 18, 201412 yr Author With a world series title this year we will have probably already clinched worst world series team since the 87 twins. Probably worst playoff team since the 2006 padres (82 and 80) 2006 Cardinals - 83 and 78. Won the whole damn thing.
August 18, 201412 yr 2006 Cardinals - 83 and 78. Won the whole damn thing. YES! Good call. 85 77 could do it! Who knows, just win.
August 18, 201412 yr Author YES! Good call. 85 77 could do it! Who knows, just win. 85-77 requires 23-16 from this point forward. That's doable, I think, maybe, perhaps. In the last 30 games, we've gone 18-12, with 23 of those games being against playoff contenders. And that was over 31 days. 31 days with 1 day off and we got 18 wins in that span to get back to .500. Nice. So, 39 games to go. 5 days off in between. One double header. It's doable.

August 18, 201412 yr Author It wouldn't at all. One year is not a significant enough sample size, especially not for a full team of 25+ players. Yeah, they'd probably just chalk it up to a fluke year or something. Which, I think, some of us would, too. It'd also be better if Hech made a game-saving play defensively, since a lot of these places say he's a negative defender. *shrug*

August 18, 201412 yr Author 23-15 , but i get your point. Well then lets fucking do it, shall we? ... right. 23-16 = 39, though. ... We have 38 left, sorry. 23-15, you are correct. Man, I get an A in Calculus and then get tripped up in the basics. :lol
August 18, 201412 yr Nice to see the offense wake up. Obviously the braves sweep the athletics and nationals blow a save and still win.

August 18, 201412 yr The fact that this conversation even exists after last year is satisfying to me.
August 18, 201412 yr Author The fact that this conversation even exists after last year is satisfying to me. I am with you, sir.
August 18, 201412 yr Nice to see the offense wake up. Obviously the braves sweep the athletics and nationals blow a save and still win. What would you rather have? Contender A plays contender B and "hope" the marlins win, ensuring gaining on one contender, or contender A playing an american league team or a scrub nl team and same for contender B? I would choose the latter but this plan proved ineffective, shockingly. Marlins won, while i was positive oakland was going to take 2 of 3 from atlanta, and i wanted san diego to beat the cardinals more than once and they failed to do so. There are obvious picks you would choose, then there is analyzing what is best for marlins. This week: Atl: @pit, @cin Mia: tex, @col Was: ari, sf Mil: tor, pit Pit: atl, @mil Cin: @stl, atl Stl: cin, @phi Sf: @chc, @was Lad: sd, nym

Not that a world series win would ruin the metrics or anything but itd would just frustrate those people. They'll be face palming all over South Florida.

August 18, 201412 yr Our offense obviously isn't playoff worthy but the NL wild card race has no truly playoff deserving teams and doesnt have someone that i going to run away with it. We have a legit chance somehow. Really wish Fernanadez didn't get hurt. I can't be depressed watching these guys but man does that suck. It's still just every 5th day but man having Jose pitch for a team in a playoff race..... ugh it's not fair.
August 18, 201412 yr Uggla's 2010? Uggla was a good player before 2010. He just maxed out at 33 years old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
August 19, 201412 yr And the nationals are pulling away. Seeking your attention to the wild card now? Im tempted to. By september 1, if we are not 5 out, then its time to start pushing to these other jerks
