BigSqwert Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) I think it was the Astros or the Rockies who had some sort of ridiculous run like ours a few years ago. I'm pretty sure they came back from their deficits late in the season. And didn't even wind up in 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) Whatever Joe "Wrong Answer Guy" CoolMan. The Rockies DID win 21 of 22 - they won 14 of 15 to take the Wild Card - then won their first 7 playoff games before being swept by PEDSox.

southsider2k5 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) This team has a lot more similarities to 1983 than 2005. Pitching not as good as '83, however... That would be an interesting argument for sure. The pitching has been incredible for the last month. The 83 team won a lot of blowouts during their run.

The pitching has been incredible for the last month. The 83 team won a lot of blowouts during their run. Right now, the 2010 Sox are sitting in 9th in the league in offense. The 2005 Sox were 9th in the league in offense. The 2005 Sox hit 106 HR in the first half, with a .743 OPS. The 2010 Sox hit 100 HR in the first half, with a .744 OPS. The 2005 Sox were first in the league with 91 SB in the first half at a 72% clip. The 2010 sox are 3rd in the league with 80 steals at a terrible 65% clip.

Yeah but the question proposed was if there was another team that came back from such a large deficit in the first half of the season and get into first place by the all star break.

bmags Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 if we had the pitching numbers we had in june for april/may, i'm pretty sure we'd have 2005's record. /end obvious statement of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 11:54 AM) Has anyone heard a stat about the farthest back a team has been but still in first place at the break? I gotta think 9.5 is pretty close to the record? Pretty sure Bernstein said it was the 1973 Cardinals. They were like 11 games back and took over first by the All Star break. I think they also went 25-5. In any event, that team finished 81-81. So...probably best not to talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
