Unless you weren't under the illusion that the team was somehow incapable of a bad 10 game stretch of baseball. I'm not sure that can be said about any baseball team, ever. The 2001 Mariners. I don't think they knew what a slump felt like. That doesn't mean they weren't capable of it. Capable or not they proved incapable of a bad 10 game stretch for that year. Unless you consider 4-6 a bad stretch of baseball. Isn't a 2-5 stretch a bad stretch of baseball? Why's it have to be 10? And I understand you're refuting about no team being capable of going without a bad stretch, but what's the point of this? That we're not a 116 win talent team? Nobody's ever suggested this. It's pretty much simple math that a 116 win team isn't going to have bad stretches, otherwise they'd be too incredible for words the rest of the year. I didn't say it had to be 10. I was replying to David's post about if any team is incapable of a bad 10 game stretch, and that got me thinking to the 2001 Mariners. Not sure if there's a point to be made. Just a conversation piece I guess.
