Joe Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This Dodgers team is too good, which is why I had a feeling they'd at least tie the NLCS even when others were ready to fire the best executive in the sport. However, now I think you guys are not giving the Rays enough credit. I still wouldn't put money on them to win the series, but I think they at least make things interesting.

They haven’t played more games than any team, there are 14 others that have played as many games as the Rays have...and the Rays struck out more than any of them. Because Tampa Is Not Good. Quote Starting with Game 4 of the Division Series and ending in Game 2 of this Series, Rays hitters ran off 10 straight games with more strikeouts than hits. Yep. That would be a record. • Over that same span, the Rays punched out at least nine times in 10 games in a row. That, too, is a record — at least within a single postseason. • Friday was also the 12th time in this postseason that they struck out 10 times or more. That’s one more for the record book. • And according to Doug (Kernels) Kern, they’ve now had 13 different hitters strike out at least three times in a game this postseason. Want to guess how many teams have done that in any other postseason? Right. No team has done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Tampa Is Not Good. I'm talking about in this postseason. Number 3 on the all-time list is the 2013 WS winner Boston Red Sox. Would anyone argue they were a bad team? Of course not. Because no one uses this metric to judge the quality of a baseball team. Also, strikeouts are on the rise in baseball. You know this. The 2018 Dodgers had 173 SO's in 17 games. Were they also a bad team? Plus why are you judging the Rays based off a 17 game sample when earlier you dismissed a 60 game sample as irrelevant?

Guest Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I didn’t dismiss a 60 game sample, the point there was comparing like things to like things. A 162 game season’s results vs a 60 game season’s results. Tampa’s 17 games played in the post season is quite typical for teams that make it to the WS, so it is very easy to compare their performance as a WS appearing team to others. And they don’t compare favorably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don’t compare favorably. A 60 game sample is always better than a 17 game sample. Just because it lines up better than previous postseasons means nothing. The playoffs is a crapshoot. Again, these Rays are very good. I wouldn't say excellent, but very good. You're dismissing them using one statistic in a 17 game sample. Come on.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I don’t really have a stake in this series and I don’t know why slb is so hilariously hating and wrong so far, but this is an entertaining series. I almost want TB to win. I’m skeptical they pull it off, but they’re making it interesting so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
