he's been pretty crappy this year but this is not a "meh". Gio could replace 2 of our starter slots. That says way more about our rotation than it does about him.
“Usually” and “all” are not the same thing. And how could you even quantify that? I get the sentiment, but it’s just a thing people say. Quantify it with where teams end up compared to their regular season projections. Most usually end up within a few games of their projections. That’s definitely not true.
Fangraphs for some reason has the Dodgers at 16% to win the WS while the Cubs 10.5% Playoff projections: Cubs 95-67 Dodgers 90-72 Braves 88-74 Brewers 90-72 WC Cardinals 88-74 WC The reason is it thinks the Dodgers are significantly better than the Cubs, despite the Cubs currently having a better record.
Matthew Stafford does not have a record against winning teams, losing teams, or .500, because the NFL is a competition among football teams and he is not, as a single individual, allowed to enter the league and does not appear on any opponent's schedule.
I regret nothing, I apologize for nothing, and I will whip out my doom boner again the moment we go down 2-1 in the third inning of the first playoff game.
