How can everyone be so dumb. The only thing I will believe is that one single person in a power position has put their foot down and everyone else has to toe the company line.

Keith Law just wrote a book about this and was talking about it mlb network. He said 71%-72%.

Does any team handle injuries as poorly as the LolMets?

Pretty sick that from their recent position of strength they are drawing dead whilst in the Bronx things are looking more positive by the day. I'd bet my net worth on Yankees winning another 3 WS before Mets winning 1.

It's a good rule of thumb but it's really completely dependent on the situation and run environment.

Sometimes 50% can be worth it and sometimes 80+% can be bad.
