Cali Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 God I wish someone higher up to tell Hawk to shut the f*** up about the Royals. It's a defeatist attitude that permeates everyone who watches the game, and I wouldn't be shocked if it gets into the player's heads too. He used to do the same s*** with the Twins of 6-7 years ago. It's real old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's real old. It certainly was in their heads about Min. a few years ago. They lost before the game started. It doesn't appear to be the same with KC. Yet.

chw42 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) I assume those run expectancies are not actually percentages as they are listed on the broadcast, but rather average number of runs, correct? For example with bases loaded and 0 outs run expectancy is north of 1.0, but percentage wise it obviously can't be over 100%, and is certainly under Yeah, they're not really percentages, they're average number of runs scored. Although the one WGN used could be the percentage of times a run scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost those games before they even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
