Thanks again Stoke...

 

[da55bums]

Team J, by stats, should crush this one

Team J, by stats, should crush this one

Should means nothing in these you know that...

 

[da55bums]

Stats should mean the most in these but after seeing Kershaw vs Wainwright, a point very well taken that stats don't mean much for 1 game, but in a series....but those 1-4 hitters on J are crazy good and have the "names" also.


The great teams almost always have great statistics, not too many average teams have great statistics, they just get lucky at the right time.

 

[blstoker]

I'll take the stats a bit further:

(AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS SH SF IBB HBP)
Team D 1025-276-48-13-31-125-88-143-.269-.328-.432-.760-9-10-6-1
Team J 1255-348-49-7-50-161-73-188-.277-.320-.447-.767-7-6-5-6

These numbers are the starting line up vs. the opponents starting pitchers. Granted, these numbers are career numbers, and not just when the batter and pitcher were both at their best, but there isn't much I can do with that.
