LosMediasBlancas Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) Most interesting stat is that the Twins offense ranked 10th in '04. Also, there IS a lot of parity this year in the AL. Edited May 6, 2005 by LosMediasBlancas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Another good one is that we just have to go a little of .500 the rest of the way to win 90 games, very, very achieveable. Although I don't trust Dayn Perry's judgement very much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Additionally, the Sox lead the AL in ERA and also lead the majors in defensive efficiency, which is the percentage of batted balls a team converts into outs. I love it when a plan comes together!!!! Small ball? Offensively, it's lacking. But the "experts" rarely consider the pitching and defense.

nitetrain8601 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Nice to see. I just hope we can continue this for at least this month. I also have 94 wins as the magical number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you win eveybody can windsock. im trying to think, i know he wrote one at the end of last year saying that the sox werent gonna win the division, and i wrote him and b****ed about it, and then the sox proved him right. i know he wrote a few things this offseason about how the sox didnt make improvements, but i also think i remember seeing him say taht the iguchi signing could end up turning an eventful but average offseason into a decent one.

Although I don't trust Dayn Perry's judgement very much at all. 90 wins wouldn't have got it done for us in '04 or '03 or '02 or ........ In fact you'd have to go back to '98 for that. I'm guessing it will take close to 100 to win it this yr with the 2nd place team getting the WC with high/mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will take about 95 to win the division and about the same for wild card. So whoever gets second in this division will probably get wild card. Thats obviously very likely to be the Twins or Sox. And im so glad that Dayn Perry thinks we are for real. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
