The Sir Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The Nationals lost tonight, meaning the Sox and Cubs have the two best records in baseball. So, stat geeks, has that ever happened, after some minimum threshold like 20 games? It didn't in 1906, since the NL second place Giants had a better record than us...

shysocks Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 3m3 minutes ago It's raining in Baltimore. Weather app says 25% chance at 7 pm EST, 45% at 8 & 30% from there. Sat night isn't good, either. Sun = horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the Tribune has a very recent article about them having the best records in their leagues. It was 1973. Season did not end well for either team. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0427-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught that day for...Mat Latos. Also Todd Frazier hit a game tying home run with 2 outs in the top of the 9th in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Sox offense amongst all MLB: 6th least likely to strikeout 11th most likely to make contact 15th best RC+ (offensive value factoring in park & league effects) 15th best OBP 14th best batting average 17th best wOBA 18th most likely to draw a walk 20th in SLG We're 24th in BABIP which, if you care to make that leap, could suggest we've been quite unlucky once the ball comes off our bat. Though there is not much really to go on regarding that yet. We are unfortunately 4th least likely to hit a line drive. 7th lowest Hard%.

Though there is not much really to go on regarding that yet. We are unfortunately 4th least likely to hit a line drive. 7th lowest Hard%. Probably a big factor in the low BABIP. As for the Hard%, here are the average exit velocities of all our hitters (MLB average is 89.15 mph): Navarro: 86.40 mph Abreu: 88.31 mph Frazier: 89.29 mph Lawrie: 89.35 mph Rollins: 85.71 mph Saladino: 84.28 mph Melky: 91.15 mph Avi: 93.91 mph Jackson: 88.38 mph Sands: 89.76 mph Eaton: 88.48 mph Abreu is over 3 mph down from last year. If Avi can keep lifting the ball like he has been this season and cut down a bit on the strikeouts he might actually be able to stick around if he keeps hitting the ball hard. His flyball% is up almost 45% from his career average, and it's a small sample size but his O-Swing% over the past 7 days is just 20%, leading to a 1:1 K/BB ratio. Amazing what happens when he doesn't swing at everything. Just for fun, the pitchers: Albers: 86.84 mph Danks: 97.79 mph (ouch) Duke: 81.28 mph Jennings: 88.63 mph Jones: 87.42 mph Latos: 87.07 mph Petricka: 86.05 mph Putnam: 92.80 mph Quintana: 89.14 mph Robertson: 90.00 mph Rodon: 87.13 mph Sale: 90.66 mph Danks is more than 10 mph up from last year. Sale is actually more than 4 mph up from last year. It's worked out so far, but I'm not sure I prefer the new "pitch to contact" Sale.
