An Internet Friend of mine (aka Billfer) owns the Detroit Tigers Weblog. It is one of my favorite destinations on the World Wide Web. Billfer’s writing style is great. He keeps his site up to date on the latest Tiger News and he has lots of good comments posted by many Tiger Fans.
Starting last year I have been submitting a post to Billfer’s site. I take the 162-game Tiger Schedule and break it into 9 “innings” of a season. Each inning consist of 18 games. By breaking down the season in these even chunks you can evaluate how the offense, starting pitching, and bullpen are doing as a unit. You can also evaluate which players are hot and cold. A team that wins 100 games will average an 11-7 record. A 10-8 average will lead to 90 wins.
My latest post at Detroit Tiger Weblog recaps the 2008 Tigers after 2 innings.
Some other interesting inning by inning results:
1984 Tigers (WS Champs): 15-3, 16-2, 10-8, 12-6, 9-9, 10-8, 10-8, 10-8, 12-6 = 104-58
2003 Tigers (Historically Bad): 1-17, 7-11, 6-12, 4-14, 6-12, 5-13, 2-16, 6-12, 6-12 = 43-119
2006 Tigers: (AL Champs): 11-7, 12-6, 13-5, 12-6, 13-5, 11-7, 9-9, 5-13, 9-9 = 95-67
See you at Billfer’s site.
