The DBacks Series

[Sports Guy]

Iirc, the 83 Os has 2 7 game losing streaks.

It’s just dumb to say good teams don’t lose 3 out of 4 games but you have to consider the source of the statement and when you realize that, you understand 12 year olds only bring so much to the table.

The 1998 Yankees started their season 1–4 and got outscored 36–15 in the process. They lost four out of five from July 16–20, four in a row from August 23–26, four out of five from September 2–7, and five out of six from September 11–16. They finished with 114 wins, a +309 run differential, and a World Series title.

In the rest of the games not including these bad streaks, the Yankees that year went 110-27 (.802 W%).

I remember the O’s, after their wire to wire job in ‘97, got off to a nice lead in ‘98 on the Yankees out of the box, going 10-2 to start the season and building a 2.5 game lead on the Yankees.  It didn’t go too well after that.
