I was curious about win/loss stats, so far this year. 1 run games: 9-6 2 run games: 7-7 3 run games: 4-3 4 run games: 4-0 5 run games: 5-2 6+ run games: 8-1 20-16 in games when the score is close. Just a little over 500. Not encouraging. Baltimore 1 run games: 6-7 2 run games: 12-2 3 run games: 5-5 4 run games: 0 5 run games: 4-4 6+ run games: 11-5 23-14 in games when the score is close. I guess, so what.......  |

A stronger record in close games can actually indicate that the team has won by luck more often and is not as strong of a team. Blow out wins is a better sign of a quality team…

I would have thought the opposite.. Close game wins shows better bull pen, doesn't it? Well, yes. Sometimes. But a study of mathematical probabilities will show that the close games are more fluky and unsustainable because for the most part clutch hitting is a myth… Notice the words like “sometimes” and “for the most part”. Let’s just say it’s not an exact science. But I have read studies at one point in my “young” life that showed that teams with a great record in close games are more prone to collapse and that it’s generally not repeatable. There is goes again, “generally”, the O’s were 30-16 in one run games last year, and here they are again… I’m glad you posted those numbers. Something to think about and to watch for… |
