MLB 2020: We'll Play Ball, I Guess.

So, Kep, when will deGrom be back on the mound? Maybe we should have a little wager on who wins the Mets/Cubs series this week, with the loser buying a beer (or cappuccino--or just bragging rights) at the Cornell/UND game in GF, which I'll try to make.

BTW, according to people in the city right now it's about 50/50 that tonight will be a rain out.

Sounds like Cubs fans want tonight's game to go forward. Arrieta is on the mound, though, and he ain't what he once was.

We are playing a stretch of 33 games in 30 days, including 5 games in a span of 3 days next week. We would just assume as many of those games as possible are 7 innings.

Why have the Mets been so good at home this year?
 
D'backs suffered their 20th straight road loss last night to start a 4 games series in SF.
The longest road losing streak in MLB history belongs to the 1963 New York Mets, who lost 22 straight games away from home from June 16 to July 28 and the 1943 Athletics, who dropped 22 straight from July 11 to August 28.
The 1969 Athletics lost 20 in a row on the road from June 27 to August 8.

Winning the Peterson game has me feeling better about this series. Maybe we can sneak 3. That was the first time we have beaten the Cubs at home since 2017.
 
Diamondbacks lose their 23rd in a row on the road, setting the all-time record. They're now 20-50, going 6-38 since the end of April when they were actually over .500 at 14-12.
 
19th straight road loss for the Orioles this past Thur. Longest road losing streak in AL history:
  1. 1943 Philadelphia Athletics: 22 games (July 11 to Aug. 24)
  2. 1916 Philadelphia Athletics: 20 games (June 27 to Aug. 8)
  3. 1945 Philadelphia Athletics: 19 games (May 20 to July 3)
  4. 2021 Baltimore Orioles: 19 games (May 11 to present)
  5. Several teams tied with 18 straight losses

It's almost impressive that the 2003 Tigers were so consistently bad they never show up on any of these lists. Longest losing streak was only 11, but it was an entire season of losing 9, winning 1, losing 8, winning 1, losing 6, winning 2, losing 10...
 
So after 150 years of baseball in the NL and 120 in the AL the records for consecutive road losing streaks in each league could be broken in the same week.

It's a coincidence. But it's an impressive coincidence.
