Default Depressing stat

For Yankee fans.

The Yankees are 0 for 25 in games they score 3 runs or less.

We didn't need a sporting events forum, we need a Yankmees/Blahston forum so that they can be ignored as a whole.

Actually, we needed a forum for douchebags with oral diarrhea. You'd fit right in.

Go [censored] yourself.

Default Aren\'t you guys getting tired of this?

The Yankees have a mediocre team. They have terrible starting pitching. So they will go through stretches where they play terrible. But since they have pretty good hitting, they will go through stretches where they are pretty good. And as they have only five guys who can hit, if two or three of them go through a tough stretch, they will go through some weeks where they don't score very many runs.

All this adds up to 37-37. They will win somewhere betwen 78 and 85 games. They cannot sustain great play for more than a few weeks at a time because they have a mediocre starting pitching. Period.

"Re: Aren't you guys getting tired of this?"

To tell the truth, Andy, yes. I wish they would win one so I could stop.

Yet the ignorant public hasn't caught on to the fact that they have crappy pitching and are mediocre overall. They keep getting heavily favored in every line without merit and paying off handsomely to all of us who continaully fade them for value.

I'm really surprised there is so much baseball talk on this forum while the Sports Betting forum is a vast wasteland when it comes to baseball discussions. I thought we were all gamblers here?

The Mets have a mediocre team. They have terrible relief pitching. So they will go through stretches where they play terribly. But since they have pretty good hitting and sometimes stellar starting pitching, they will go through stretches where they are pretty good. And as they have only three and a half guys who can hit, if one or two of them go through a tough stretch, they will go through some weeks where they don't score very many runs.

All this adds up to 37-37. They will win somewhere betwen 78 and 85 games. They cannot sustain great play for more than a few weeks at a time because they have a bad bullpen and feast-or-famine lineup. Period.

Works for us, too.

toro-

this stat isnt really depressing for a yankee fan. its pretty meaningless. if you take a current .500 team you should be able to find a 'depressing' stat or two. a .380 team and you could find a few more.

Nah, it's rather meaningful. This is a team that has grabbed up a lot of SP talent over the years, and when you are so bad when your offense doesn't show up, that demonstrates how badly this team's starters are doing.
