To see any team’s W-L record in such splits as games decided by 1 run and 5+ runs, just go to its main baseball-reference.com page.

2007 Yankees
http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYY/2007_sched.shtml

Yanks are 44-19 in games decided by 5+ runs, for a .698 winning percentage in blowouts. That’s damn good.

Yanks are 15-18 (.455) in one-run games, which I’d never expect from a team with Mariano Rivera. The Red Sux, surprisingly, are also under-.500 this season in one-run games.

~~~It has to be up there. It seems like a lot.

Well, I know that it’s less than 64. {wink}

I’m sure it’s easy enough for me to look up, but how well do teams winning lots of games by 5+ runs do in the playoffs?

I can’t figure out how to plug this in on baseball reference, but could someone calculate how many games the Yankees have lost by five or more runs this year? It has to be up there. It seems like a lot.

I was at the game tonight. Electric atmosphere. Crowd went nuts when Joba entered. Went even crazier when the 6-1 Jays lead was flashed on the board. All in all, a great night at the stadium.

Q: Since Joba pitched only 1/3 of an inning does he only need to sit out 1/3 of the next game?

Thanks for looking this up.

Notice how all of the top-14 teams are pre-1950, save this year’s Yanks or the incredible 1998 club? Those other 12 teams played 154-game schedules. Odd, no?

Sure are a lot of NYYs at the top of that list. Ha.

Incredible, so long as they continue to ride the wave through October.

1.5!
