It's honestly more scary than a huge explosion. In baseballl terms, it's like 5 back to back doubles vs 3 walks and a homerun.
At least under current CBA rules. This is why September is a fun month traditionally. Unfortunately, by that time, it won't matter for the current year playoffs. I don't know the specifics, but that's why I would expect really hot prospects to be called up just ahead of September with minimal service time and potential play in the current playoffs. But since it doesn't happen often, there is probably a reason why it doesn't.
I got totally off the rails with that comment. Knowing that voltage is usually all that is associated with electrical effects and while spectacular, is not in itself necessarily dangerous. I also know Transmission line shock is survivable because of biological responses to extreme electrical power, I began speculating on how we could set up that electric line. Do we go the spectacular, but safer route or the permanent solution route? I believe the spectacular nudged toward the painful, yet still safe would be optimal. Maybe post a sign showing the spectacular lightning effect of the pole. Just imagine the 2017 banner to the right of the Tesla coil.
In a vacuum that seems pretty reasonable. Score a lot of runs: win. Don't score a lot of runs: lose a lot more than you win. Are those numbers that much different from other teams?
I'd guess the Astros have a higher winning percentage than most teams when they score 4 or more. I'd guess the Astros have a higher winning percentage than most teams when they score 3 or less.
Scoring more runs corresponds with better performance, I for one am shocked. I totally expected us to win more when we only score a run or 2.
The real number is that we scored 4 or more 25 times and 3 or less 29 times. Our offense is really mediocre this year because pretty much everyone's numbers are lower than last with Yuli going from batting champ to one of the worse hitters on the team not behind home plate. We had 3 guys last year near 300 or higher. We have one this year.
Every Manager other than Dusty may be, but Dusty is infallible and sits in the seat of Jackie, not the player but the GOD.
Yankees are 8-12 when scoring 3 or less. If the Astros win their next game in which they score 3 or less, it will be the exact same percentage. As @rockbox mentioned, it's not the record, it's the number of times they've scored 3 or less. Yankees are 21-3 when scoring 4 or more.
I read something a while back that suggested managers may have some impact in ceasing lopsided calls in a game as post ejection, games are typically called fairly (i.e., bad call evenly distributed) afterwards. However, it is really hard to setup a control as fairly called games is the goal.
