Guy that started the thread NEVER said that they suck.
He said that the bats are cold. He said that the pitching is not reliable.
He is right. |

#10 Posted: 8/1/2012 9:23:36 PM The following was posted at another site before this Tex/Laa series started (so the stats don't incl LAA's wins)
IMO, what we're seeing from Texas is their finally hitting the wall after 2 1/2 seasons of peak play. I can see them failing to make the p.s. quite easily. If Oakland can keep up it's current form (obv. the A's won't continue to win at the rate they have in the last month, but as long as they don't drop off sizably, their & LAA's continued competitiveness aligned with the fact Texas still has 17 games left against them both, 13 of their last 16), that would mean if/when Texas lost their division lead, they'd be vying for the WC with 4 other teams with roughly similar records (TBY, BAL, OAK or LAA, & DET). I could see 1 or 2 of those teams falling away, but not all 4.
The numbers underpinning this hitting the wall (not incl. tonight's game still going on)...
Pitching
Initial 71 games
Conceded 0-4 runs - 49 times
Conceded 5+ runs - 22 times
Ratio of 5+ run totals conceded... Once every 3.23 games
Last 29 games
Conceded 0-4 runs - 16 times
Conceded 5+ runs - 13 times
Ratio of 5+ run totals conceded... Once every 2.23 games
Batting
Initial 79 games
Scored 0-4 runs - 40 times
Scored 5+ runs - 39 times
Ratio of 5+ run totals scored... Once every 2.02 games
Last 21 games
Scored 0-4 runs - 18 times
Scored 5+ runs - 5 times
Ratio of 5+ run totals scored... Once every 4.20 games
Their pitching hasn't dropped off a massive amount, but quite enough given the extent their offense has dropped off. Half as many 5+ run totals over the same amount of games, is gonna be lethal in light of the Angels batting having come around from it's slow start to the season (LAA has 21 5+ run totals their last 35 games, a ratio of once every 1.66 games). |

They Might hang on for the Play in game. I don't know how everybody else is looking at it, but I don't think I consider making the one game wild card making the playoffs. You have to win that game to be in is how I view it. |

Yea and the two wild cards play one game to move on or go home. They play 162 game season to play one game. So in my mind I consider it a play in game, not really making the playoffs until you win it. |

This year, under the new rules in the division series, [b/c selig cooked this crap up after the season schedule was released] the lower seed now gets 2 home games in the first 3 games of the series. If you win that one game playoff, you are in prime position to knock out a team that busted its balls all year to win that division

That was a mystery to me as well. I can't believe that anybody would be in favor of that 2-3 split. At least though the division winners will be able to set up their rotations a little better and the wild cards will have to use their best available arm in that game. |

#24 Posted: 8/2/2012 12:23:26 AM Texas will win the division, right now they are playing their worst baseball but they still showed their true identity with this game...theres a reason this team won back to back AL champions, wait till their pitching gets back on track and their bats warm up again...this might be that game that does it for them. |
