The Pythagorean Theorem of Baseball is a creation of Bill James which relates the number of runs a team has scored and surrendered to its actual winning percentage, based on the idea that runs scored compared to runs allowed is a better indicator of a team's (future) performance than a team's actual winning percentage.

Nick talking so much about pythag this season definitely has to be a record.

nono man, its just fun to talk about when you leave teams hitless on the score sheet.

nick wrote:Pythag is pretty irrelevant.

Probably half his posts this season are about pythag...nick says lots of things.

I found the more I complained the more he took out so be careful....

Don't know what I did, but Kline injured a couple sims ago, now a SP suspended for 6 games for fighting.
When he wants to, the Godfather makes things happen!

I can just picture Billy right now





But to be fair, it's not like none of his guys have gotten hurt. He did lose Eismont for the year.

Trying to hold out on calling Lippy up til next season, but he may force my hand here.


I see Sykes is getting those rehab starts in, waiting for his triumphant return.

Lippy is 100% ready but there is really no value in calling him up. Save that service time and he will win ROY next year

ahh Lippy. thankfully Stanley Maxwell is becoming a superstar so that one didnt hurt as much as it could of

Luis Flores and his 21 potential control has a lot of growing up to do but he's only 18 but ya know, scouts.

The majority don't think he has 21 control so ya know, scouts

This is the annoying part of the variation. Mine says 72. So my scout says he's near elite control and yours says he's never going to be a major leaguer type control.

I hate that.



But...OSA says 88 control potential, so I like my chances.

Who is this "majority" and what makes them right over anyone else?

I have him at 87 potential control, but only two and a half pitches.

Your scout sucks

That’s what my scout says too
