April 3, 20214 yr We scored 2 in the top of the 1st and successfully executed the shutdown inning afterwards. Progress.

April 3, 20214 yr Haven’t checked the box score yet, fun game trying to guess who gave up the most runs.
April 3, 20214 yr I may have been way low on this prediction. What's the record in a season for worst team ERA? Figured it's Texas or Colorado.1930 Philadelphia A’s - 6.711996 Tigers - 6.38
April 3, 20214 yr Believe CJ was on that Det team. Indeed. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/1996.shtml Edited April 3, 20214 yr by shadow_operative2.0
April 3, 20214 yr Just now, shadow_operative2.0 said: Believe CJ was on that Det team. Yep. I had to look them up. CJ had an 8.08 ERA (11 games, 8 starts). Other contributors on that team was the infamous Todd Van Poppel, Jose Lima, Greg Gohr, and Felipe Lira. In fact, out of every pitcher they used that year only 1 had an ERA below 4.

April 3, 20214 yr Yep. Today was +107, Thursday was +125. I will share the Google sheet on monday lol.

April 3, 20214 yr O/U 50 wins for this team? I’ve got $20 via Venmo says under. First 3 takers are in. And you better have a good memory because I drink a lot.

I'm not gonna pretend I really know anything about Chris Young but I'm pretty sure they could have paid me 10 grand and I could have put together a team as good(bad?) as this one. holy shit.

April 4, 20214 yr Son and I watched the first few innings of yesterday's game at a sports bar. Got home and saw the final. What in the holy f!? I get rebuilds and all, but this is a tad ridiculous. To add. It's not like this is the NFL circa 1970, where you pretty much had to build a team via the draft over several years. In an era of free agency AND with a larger-market team, there's no excuse for the ownership to put this product on the field. Edit: I know this has already been discussed on here. Just venting.

April 4, 20214 yr 70s Rangers weren't good, but they were scrappy, and usually had some decent pitching with guys on the back end of their careers but still dealing some good stuff. I loved listening to them on the radio back in the DIck Risenhoover era. It's the main reason I still follow them today.

Jeff Burroughs was the big stick and Toby Harrah, Tom Grieves and Dick Billings were solid.

That $75-80 million dollar a yr tv contract will only buy shitty pitchers I guess??????
