As discussed previously, the Nats schedule has been trash during their strong run. That doesn't diminish the fact that they're good and playoff good but their schedule has been a joke. Look at this schedule over their last 44 games. Two teams on this list are over 500, Arizona and Philly.
Good move. Wright’s been better lately, and I’d rather take a shot on him than whatever the other option was
Dodgers beat the fuck out of the Phillies again. We are still 6.5/8.5 games up. Just need a split this weekend.
After last nights debacle the Nationals have a 5.99 bullpen era. Sort of helps neutralize their big three.
and that article doesnt even discuss how even duke's blown saves are designed to jumpstart winning streaks.
i ran some simulations through my PISS machine (playoff inquisitions simulation system) for each possible result this series 4-0: 99.9% playoff chance 3-1: 98% playoff chance 2-2: 95% playoff chance 1-3: 74% playoff chance 0-4: 67.9% playoff chance
I ran some numbers through simulated hypothetical innings tracked, or S.H.I.T., this morning and our pitchers are going to do quite well against the Nats. I’ve got a hypothetical FIP from my proprietary and trademarked formula of 1.69 for the series.
The gf is out of town for a business trip. Thinking I may just have to venture up to the park tonight and catch the game.
