Speaking of Beltran and the past when mentioning his name the most prominent memory I have is Waino striking him out with the bases juiced in game 7 of the '06 NLCS.

Ah last I checked, this is a team sport where the critical stat are Wins....this season.

Yep, wins are why they play the game.
And last time I checked , there are 5 SP in a rotation.
One of them (Warren) has just pitched consecutive games where he pitched 7 IP and 6.1 IP without allowing more than 2 ER in either game.

And of course we had another one of those "5" pitch 8 IP allowing 2 ER.

Yes wins are the bottom line.....and don't expect to go very far if your SPs are going to allow 5 or more runs in every game they start.

Of course it's unreasonable to expect every one of your SP go at least 6-7 IP and allow 2 ER in every start, but if it ever did happen, you can expect your "team" to win a lot of games.....ALOT of games.

Give Warren some credit......he could be, possibly on the verge of becoming a good solid SP....and he isn't "old"!

...but what about "run differential"?

...but what about "run differential"?

And?

How many teams are in 1st place without a PLUS run differential?
For future reference, when the time comes- let me know how many teams FINISH in 1st place with a MINUS run differential and how many play in the WS with a MINUS run differential.

I don't understand this silly attempt at humor and sarcasm over this issue.

...actually, considering recent history, I don't expect you to "understand" much of anything.

Stop harping on first place when it's May 21st. This team now stands at 22-19 which is the exact same record as they had last year after 41 games.

Thank you.

BTW I will hopefully not be torturing myself by going to the game on Saturday.
