Again - to just use one example as HEY THIS WORKS or HEY THIS DOESN'T WORK is just silly.

If you make any data set large enough its not very difficult for statisticians to create statistics that work.


Again look at their one run record which is 10-2 right now. The Rockies pythag record (based on real runs and not hypothetical ones) is 43-29. Their WAR record (without framing runs as I didn't bother with it) shows they should have 43 runs as well. They have had a good season so far but you should expect some regression even with them performing the same way here on out.
