I believe that Funclown (well not him personally) is proposing that there may be some type of inherent penalty/bonus based soley on a team "identity." i.e.: Baltimore was created as an offensive team and therefore gets a hitting bonus for batting and/or a penalty for pitching. At least that's what I'm getting from the post.

What I'm saying is, it seems to me that it may be harder for teams that lose consistently to break that cycle of losing, even with the consistent addition of above-average players. While teams that have a history of winning tend to play 'above their heads' more often.n

Agreed. It is why LA will not be in the playoffs this year.

Maybe tie it to a some type of continuous summation of individual moral of the team?

Just making a guess here. Although I feel like we talked about this before and maybe that's where my "guess" came from.

I'm gonna use this theory to explain why Denver is a -12 in the Power Rankings.

I think it's about as plausible as any other half-baked theory of mine and it also explains why Pat has been able to put together a team with smoke and mirrors in recent years.

My gay meter is at a 6.

We may have to cross the streams.

Now go shower and put this behind you.

Sadly, that's what she said.

Exceptional defense. Pitchers park. No DH. Average pitching that usually plays to contact. It's not a big mystery.

Well I did say half-baked.
