They’ll see this as irrefutable proof that they are doing something very right.
Bob doesn’t need Viagra tonight, after this news.
Mission Accomplished!
Grats…
This is what every fan hopes for
Would’ve been nice if they spent more on 15 additional wins or so but at least Nutting can finally save some money
I know people don’t want to hear it but this is the argument for keeping Cherington at least.
Wow ! Efficiently finished under .500. Kudos Mr nutting. You’ve done it again !
Hang the banner!
PNC park is simply a amusement park in in Pittsburgh.
This needs a more sophisticated analysis. A league minimum payroll will still win 30% of their games.
I would like to see a deeper dive on these type of numbers… Doing a straight “dollars per win” calculation isn’t appropriate for a sport with as much randomness as baseball.
Any team of even-remotely-professional-caliber players is going to win at least 40-50 games, and putting together a team of such players is going to cost a certain amount of money.
I think it would be better to look at it in terms of incremental spend (and wins) from that baseline, and I suspect that this would reveal that incremental wins in the MLB are extremely expensive once you get to a certain point.
Not saying it justifies Nutting running the team the way he does, just something that bothers me from a statistical standpoint. Also, it’s a decent case for a salary cap + floor, but we know that’ll never happen so kind of a moot point.
The only stat nutting cares about!
RAISE THE BANNER!!!!
Awesome. The culture of losing is not in jeopardy anytime soon.
Now if they could only base the cost of tickets based on their winning percentage.
