greg775 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 05:00 AM) Marcus Semien 6/16 and almost out RBIing the whole Sox team with 5 already. Our franchise is a joke, let's face it. I've watched some A's games already and I don't give a f*** what the metrics say ... Semien passes the eye test big time. He's a good player. Damn.

gatnom Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 How many teams even started out 0-4 in that time period? Maybe 20%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Probably closer to 10-12% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) I'd be more interested to know what percentage of teams played the first 27 games at 10-17 or worse and made the playoffs. That's more what I'm worried about...not just a four game losing streak. BTW, the Pirates started 10-17 last year (and 12-20), and won 88 games- and they only went 36-40 in the division.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 11:10 PM) This is puzzling: Gordon Beckham PA 9. Emilio: 1 The fuq man. It's KW, he falls in love with a player and refuses to let him go. See Alomar, Roberto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 i am really surprise that i am calm, well overall, not at this point in time. anyway, this team will start to win. it is 4 games into the season. i am still going to stick to my prediction of wins-lost by the ASG.

elrockinMT Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Are we done crying in our beer yet? Motivation to win comes from within each individual. These players are professionals and will give their best. After four games we are once again hating on Beckham, calling for Ventura to be axed and looking at Semien and Shark trade as a failure. I think what we have going for us is to be in a divson where all teams will beat up on each other and once we start rolling, which hopefully is today, we can make up four games after all we have 158 left.

Lillian Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) It just might turn out to be a blessing. If this team really has the talent we think it has, this will be a chance for it to show its true mettle. It's going to be a real test of their character. If the roster is lacking, particularly in the bullpen, there is plenty of time to fix it. In either case, they can't be as bad a they look so far.

Jerksticks Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I would imagine there are plenty of playoff teams that have lost 4 in a row at some point during a season. Say we win six in a row now. I'm sure there are plenty of playoff teams that have won at a 60% clip Get off the ledge people. We have a lot of good players. It seems like it can work.

bmags Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 obviously nice to win a game, but if the things that appeared during the four game clip linger on, we aren't going to win six in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody bothers to predict anything about the first six games because it's pointless. A lot of people here are really, REALLY making mountains out of molehills.
