I was at work when I posted that, didn't really have the time to dig into it which is why i used vague numbers that closely represented the facts. Doesn't change my point one bit, so you can drop the pretentiousness. I've seen you, along with everyone else, make vague generalizations.

Well I for one am not an airline pilot and hopefully you are not as well.

Murphy is like the baseball equivalent to Marion Barber. The Rangers had him in the perfect role to optimize his talent and then they tried to turn him into more than he is

Ummm....I don't like cross sports analogies and that's because they are hard to perfect.

 

[pegasusredleg]

A's down 2-0 and the Stros up 3-0 over Boston. Still early.

3-0 Cincy now.

Well Cincy is doing their job against OAK so far. Rangers need to take advantage tonight.

3-0 Cincy now.

STROS up 5-0. Unbelievable. They shut out Boston last night.

Reds have actually struggled of late so was not sure how they would do with the A's. They were 2-7 coming into the series.

 

[RevSader]

I don't understand playoff odds...makes no sense to me how when the Rangers have better record vs the A's and the entire west, that they are like a 30% less of a favorite to win the division while 2 games back with 2 months to play.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Cleveland losing and Baltimore plays later. Hope they face the good Volquez.

100% agree with you on this. It makes zero sense.

Now there may be a case where they are basing it on opinions instead of facts. Besides, those guys are wrong so much it is ridiculous. And I mean all of them, MLB, Baseball Tonight, etc.

Stros need to stop. We're supposed to be playing this easy bunch.

 

[Jbear]

Red Sox already coming back hard

It has to be opinion, because objectively I don't see how you can claim Oakland is 30% better than Texas. And I sure don't know how you substantiate such a claim.

Especially in a game like baseball where there are so may permutations.

Yes, but Stros hanging. Put up another run now 6-3. And only the 3rd inning!

Especially considering Texas leads the series 8-5.
