Example of why run differential doesn't explain it all.

Should be a modified run differential to reduce effects of blowouts, each way.

Small Sample Size

One game is a REALLY small sample size, but boy, this team looked dominant tonight. Great hitting, great starting and relief pitching, great defense (not only the CarGo catch, but also that amazing bounce-out throw from Eric Chavez) against a good team and their ace in their own ballpark.

Right now the A’s have two .300 hitters in the line-up, plus Ellis and Barton are both hot right now, Cust is among the OBP league leaders, and Big Hurt is still out. The entire bullpen looks pretty invincible.

I don’t know about the rest of AN, but this really could be a playoff team. I’m starting to believe.

Impressive!
