Hey, a day without a roster move. Who knew? In the absence, I’ll need to find something else to talk about. I saw this post on Reddit, which broke the seal on something I haven’t dared mention, for fear of angering the baseball gods. The D-backs have been the best team in the majors on Mondays, something of which I am very aware with regard to my recaps. They have just one Monday loss, that being all the way back on April 13. They lost 9-7 in Baltimore, and even that was a game they were leading
7-1 in the middle of the sixth inning. But overall they are 6-1. It’s the highest W% in the majors, and also gives them the biggest gap to their W% the rest of the week, at +386 points.
I do feel kinda bad about this, because it feels like certain other recappers have been getting the sticky end of the lollipop with regard to the team’s performances. So, I looked at the entire schedule, and here’s how Arizona’s record has broken down by day of the week so far:
- Monday: 6-1
- Tuesday: 5-7
- Wednesday: 8-4
- Thursday: 3-6
- Friday: 5-7
- Saturday: 4-9
- Sunday: 7-5
So, yeah: poor Dano has definitely been rather unlucky with his recaps his year. He is currently on a four-week losing streak, the longest sequence of L’s on any day this year. Though most days of the week have seen a losing record. After Monday, it would be Wednesday which has the next best win percentage (and the highest number of raw wins, having got off to a 5-0 start), while Sunday’s have actually been decent as well. We’ll see what happens today. If I can extend my winning streak to six today, I’m out of state next week, and then there’ll be just one more Monday before the All-Star break…
