I know I’m bad at math, but how does this make any sense at all? The Red Sox have won more games than the Orioles, played more games than the Orioles and yet they’re in second place from the lead. Can someone please explain this in a way that makes any sense?! #Baseball #RedSox

@gedeonm I wonder what “sweeter science” could be 🤔

@jnv yeah I saw that too. Sounds like a term AI made up to help sell itself.

@gedeonm the foley on those ricola “baseball zen” commercials is atrocious. I listen on headphones and have to take them out or mute the stream it’s so bad.

@NickFerg OMG YES. Boy those are so annoying. Almost as annoying as seeing Jeter’s The Show commercial 20 times during a game. 🤮

@gedeonm yeah, I like the show but seeing that commercial every break is a bit much.

@gedeonm perhaps it deals with exactly who they have won against. I believe these are calibrated against the previous seasons rankings it’s who you have beaten, been matched against. You could have a perfect season so far playing against the weakest teams

Those rankings will shift with later games

@gedeonm do the Red Sox actually wear red socks?

@gedeonm It ain't right, hence no sense

@gedeonm Yeah I don't think this is sorted correctly. But otherwise the data is correct -- the Orioles are "0.5 Games Behind" the Red Sox, because they've played one fewer game. They'd have to play and win one game to be tied.

@gedeonm If shows the Orioles 0.5 games below. Isn’t this just a sorting issue?

@davidh I have no idea. Lies, damn lies and statistics.
