It factors in the strength of schedule. Without looking it up, I'm guessing we've played a lot of games against teams with winning records.

Good win all around.
I still want Peavy.

From the link "+The basic formula is 25% team winning percentage, 50% opponents' average winning percentage, and 25% opponents' opponents' average winning percentage."
Kind of a weird take on strength of schedule. Unfortunately to me it appears to be comparing apples to pomegranates.

This site should help explain it.

Yep, seems clear to me now. Thanks Butch.

Exact same record of 18-14.

I still think Brewers are going to be more of a threat than the Cards.

I'm still unimpressed with their pitching overall, though I think their pen is much improved. It could get pretty interesting if they decide to add a solid starter at the deadline again though. They have a lot more trade chips than we do.

The difference now from in the past though is that their tradable parts are pretty much on their MLB roster. They don't have too much left to deal outta their farm, so to add an arm, they'd potentially have to be taking away from somewhere else on their MLB club.

They still have Gamel and Escobar, both who are very high on the BA prospect list. After dealing LaPorta I doubt they would deal another one of those guys though.

Do you have an answer to my question or are you here for your monthly "you guys don't know how to be real fans" visit?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No...I don't have an answer for your ridiculous, meaningless, little point...
Stop constantly looking for what's wrong with this team, and show some fucking balance...

Sorry I wanted to know about what Bradley did. Since you've pointed out my faults as a fan, I now recognize that what I did was wrong.

So...Is this a real pissing contest between you two or just breaking balls?
