Overall they're not doing any worse than Swordsman did in high school.

We were well over .500 in HS.

The game 127 grade thread is going to be awesome

Damn I thought he quit after 3 games.

Game 5

Starting Pitching - A  (finally got a starter to go at least 6, which is a key success factor against Tier 1-2 teams) .  Marlins are Tier 6 tho.

Defense - A  (Rendon and Neto with defensive gems).  No errors finally.

Offense - B (Hicks comes to life with 2 hits incl HR)

Bullpen- B  Moore was good.  Garcia shaky

Hustle - B+

Fundamentals- B+

Coaching decisions - A (Once again everything worked out)

 

Notes:  Finally more SB(1) than errors (0).  Also 2nd concecutive game with a SB and it was Trout.

Angels were dead last in team. ERA coming into the game thanks to the first two games. But they are trending a lot better. Let's see how the starters do second time around. 

Defense still needs to tighten up. And the obvious hitters in slumps need to quickly improve or get benched.

It’s almost like fans overreacted after the first couple of games.  Weird.

Not at all.

The Orioles are a Tier 2/3 team.   Angels were not competitive in the first 2 games or the series really.

The Marlins are a (0-5) Tier 6 team.   The Halos are somewhere in the middle at this time (Tier 4-5).  We just don't know a whole lot, but are trying find data points to get it figured out.

*Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams make the playoffs.

*Tier 3 is .500 +/- 5 games.   

*Tier 4 is a under .500 Tier 3 team which is trending down

*Tier 5 is a 70-75 win team.  Will rarely take a series vs a Tier 1-2 team

*Tier 6 is non competitive.   Basically a AAA team.  Tier 1-3 should never lose a series to a Tier 6 team

Initial Tier placements will be out after 22 games.

Baltimore is just that good. They deserve credit.

The Orioles are the best team in the AL and will be one of the favorites to win it all. Unless your tiers are 2-5 then I am not sure you are paying attention.

Possibly.   Personally, I would put the O's in Tier 2, As of now the Orioles record is 3-2.  If they win their current series it would solidify Tier 2 for now.

  Yankees are 5-0 (Tier 1) and Dodgers are 5-2 (Tier 1).

Circle back to me after we are 20 games in.    Things are still very fluid.

This is what happens when you turn a box score into grades and present it as analysis.

Didn’t the white Sox take all the angels coaches last year? Huh…I wonder what the problem is…
