Yankees when held to 3 runs or less are 5-25 this season. 2 runs or less they're 2-22...

_________________

Which is a by product of having SP which up until now have a collective ERA over 4.00.
I won't make a major issue over it...(sound familiar?) but this "stat" you noted can possibly...perhaps...maybe....be called CHERRY PICKING in order to highlight your overral negative feeling about this team's chances of possibly winning this division or a possible WC. LMAO....

Obviously if your SP rank near the bottom of the league allowing at least 4 ER per game....you're not going to win alot of games when you score 3 or less runs! Jeez!

And may I ask a silly question?.....what is the average W-L record for ALL teams when scoring 3 or less runs excluding the top 2 or 3 teams with leading (lowest) ERA for SP?

lol.......nah......this can't be called CHERRY PICKING...not at all.


Don't take it personal Rick.....I know you're trying to contribute.
Keep up the good work.

Allow me to expand then....When the Yankees score 5 runs or less they're still not all that hot at 23-33. Is that better?

Not exactly sure what your point is....but I'm willing to listen.
We all know the Yanks SP hasn't been stellar and the strength of the pitching staff has been the bullpen - specifically the late innings.

But to expand a bit further- the team with the best record in the league-- KC,
they have won 8 games when scoring 3 or less runs, the Yanks have won 5 games scoring 3 or less runs. Where are we going with this?

Let's not pick too many cherries.


Where are you getting your "stats"? Fill me in.

I'm responding to what your question, wondering what the average W & L record was for all teams when scoring 3 or less runs. So I expanded on it to show that when scoring as many as 5 or less that they still have a poor record.

Bottom line is that with the bad pitching on this team they have to score 5 or MORE runs to have any kind of success.

Rick, perhaps you missed something.....I asked, what is the record (collective win%) FOR ALL TEAMS when scoring 3 or less runs....and you may or may not include the top 2-4 teams in SP ERA, ..Cards, TB, Oak, Pitt.....just what is the collective EXACT WIN% of ALL teams when scoring 3 or less runs....?

As Shakespeare said...sort of.....thou protest too much over sh!t which is not much different than the large majority.......well, sort of....get my drift? Lol



Yes, I agree the Yankee SP has to improve.
The "race" isn't yet half over.

Fair enough?

Broom Gilda, bring me my little tricycle and floppy shoes.

Seriously, just for clarification purposes, - regarding your reply:

how many times does it have to be pointed out that they have a good slugging % BECAUSE OF THE high anomalous number of HRs with RISP ? (post #17)...which where this started...Jesus, pay attention for a change.

Isn't this the very point of me (or anyone else) pointing out their superior SLG% w/runners on base?
I mean, the stat would not have any meaning if they hit alot of extra-basehits with NO runners on base...correct? Yes/No?

The stat is listed as "SLG% w/runners on base, w/risp".
This is what gives it significance. Yanks have done very well in those situations.

It's not listed as "SLG% with no runners on base".


Of course they hit alot of homers and doubles w/runners on base, I understand,
...that is what the stat is all about. In your own words:
( "BECAUSE OF THE high anomalous number of HRs with RISP" )

If the Yanks had a poor SLG% w/risp, runners on, they may already be very close to last place. Lol

...it's official, you're a total fucking idiot who cannot grasp the simplest of conversations and concepts and cannot keep things in their proper chronological context.

First off, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for calling me "a total fucking idiot"....

Now, .. are we on the same page with this SLG% and BA w/risp thing?

My point, my stat, (SLG% w/runners on base) is a separate stat and different than BA w/risp.

You were including HRs in the "BA w/risp" stat.
That's okay...but I mentioned and pointed to a specific stat--
SLG% w/runners on base.....Yanks currently 2nd in the league in that category, barely ahead of Baltimore.

And I don't want to even think about where the Yanks would be if they were a poor or mediocre "slugging" team w/runners on base.

I think you missed the boat on this one.
It's okay, it happens to the best of us.

...no, I didn't miss anything...I've been very direct from the beginning.

...but in this case, it only happens to you.
