Southwest Sider Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) It's time for some cautious optimism. Granted, they have killed a bad pitching team, but the whole season was spent making other bad pitching teams look like good pitching teams and good pitching teams... well, you know. Obviously they won't always score 9, but I think it is safe to say we have escaped from the 3 runs or less hell. And if the pitching and defense keeps up.....

NCsoxfan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Why is the baseball prospectus playoff probability still so low? It says 8% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:19 PM) Why is the baseball prospectus playoff probability still so low? It says 8% It's based a lot on run differential. So while we're +35 over this winning streak the overall number is still crappy. I wouldn't put too much stock into that number, considering we were putting up that horrible run differential when we couldn't hit s*** and our defense was awful. Both have improved, which the formula doesn't account for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have improved, which the formula doesn't account for. Even when our record was at its absolute worst, pretty much every system there is suggested that our record was better than we deserved. So a run of good play can't erase just how "lucky" we may have been to only have had a sort-of horrible record a few weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you had a lot of faith in the team, our record isn't good enough to justify selling out just to win this season. But the team is playing so well and the pitching staff is so great that you can't justify selling off either. Keeping Samardzija is a risk, losing Samardzija is a risk. I think keeping Samardzija is in and of itself a gamble and maybe the only appropriate one for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Why does everyone assume buying means emptying the farm or "selling out"? You can make a trade without giving up a boat load of prospects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'd be surprised if we did anything that is likely to mainly improve this year's team at the possible expense of the next 2 or 3 years and I wouldn't support doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
