Score some fucking runs thread

[SKO]

Bump for making another rookie with horrible #'s coming in look like Cy Young.

Another?

All of them, man. Try to keep up.

I don't want to try to dive too deep into this man's psyche but was he perhaps referring to them struggling against Urias on Saturday? Because Urias has been getting better basically every start, and was the number one prospect in all of baseball for a reason. 19 year old lefties who struck out 30% of the hitters they faced in the minors just grow on trees, actually.

I find it shocking you're unaware of this conspiracy theory. It's my second favorite one of all time after "Stephen King killed John Lennon."

I prefer the one wherein Ronald Reagan, after years of dealing with that nuisance and his ilk when he was governor of California, made sure to wipe Lennon out a month before being inaugurated as President.

It's my second favorite too, but after the Jordan basketball ban one.

I have never heard those Lennon conspiracy theories and now my afternoon is sure to be shot.

This may sound overly dramatic but I hate reliving that night.

I've quietly assumed the Jordan story to be true and not a conspiracy.

Obligatory "stop loading the bases without scoring" TIME TO POST.

[WTB...A RING FFS!!]

I'd like to see the #'s on this team when the score's within 2 runs either way. I'm sure they have great #'s for bases loaded/risp/runner on 3rd less than 2 outs, but god it seems like they leave empty-handed in close games WAY too often that ends up costing more than not.

I don't know the stats but it couldn't have cost them that much. They have the best record in baseball.  So it's your eyes test against mine.

They have a .752 OPS as a team in games that are within 2 runs or less. They have a .766 OPS overall. So no, there's really nothing there, they just tend to strand more guys in close games vs blowouts because that's what makes it a close game and not a blow out.
