True, small sample sizes, but this team seems to a very high correlation among its hitters. All hitting or all sucking.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-15441">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Talk about schizophrenic; Pads record:

OD to 4/23: 8-10 (W, L), 77-89 (RS, RA)
4/24 to 4/29: 0-6, 5-21
4/30 to present: 9-0, 52-24

So, looking at the drought vs. the streak:

RS per game: 0.83 vs. 5.78
RA per game: 3.50 vs. 2.67

So, our pitching has been steady, improved significantly (almost a run per game), but the hitting is freakish. True, small sample sizes, but this team seems to a very high correlation among its hitters. All hitting or all sucking.

Club seems like it's really playing with some confidence. Great to watch. We'll be able to watch the Khalil/Barfield/Gonzalez DP again on Sportcenter tonight. BTW Geoff, I read the earlier analysis post. Nicely done.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-15435">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> It’s fun to have a laugher.
