The most abysmal season I have ever witnessed

polydamas · 01-02-2013, 03:33 AM

If it wasn't for Wang Szema they wouldn't have won a game.

They play with the most heart in the entire damned league!

Looks like that bullpen also helped carry them. Only 4th worst in the league!

JMDurron · 01-02-2013, 09:57 AM

300 teams?!? Holy cow!

snepp · 01-02-2013, 09:57 AM

That's pretty awesome, in a sad sort of way.

Tram2Whitaker · 01-02-2013, 10:38 AM

Is this a minor league. Often I witness those kinds of seasons, in my short season A clubs.

polydamas · 01-02-2013, 02:01 PM

It's my college feeder league actually. The second worst team in this league had 19 wins, but I've never seen a team play so poor statistically speaking. They had literally one player worth anything and that's it.

I like the subtle understatement of "Who's Hot? Nobody".

StyxNCa · 01-02-2013, 03:19 PM

I wonder if the Wash. Wizards can reach 5 wins this year.

Ya, and with only 1 player listed as cold I guess that says the rest are playing as they normally would. Ugh...

Looks to me like two players (there's a scroll bar). That is sad though.

Somebody posted that they had a winless short season minor league team a few years back.

Interesting to see that the simple Pythagorean formula does quite well (predicted wins = 4.29, actual wins = 5) even in this extreme circumstance.

geez louise

When I get back home I can go through my reference books and dig up some real-world examples of dreadful minor league seasons (nothing quite as bad as in the OP, but still awful).

zukes · 01-03-2013, 11:05 AM

Different sport, but the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (Junior A hockey) went 3-60-3 in 1995-1996, then followed it up with a 13-51-2 record.

Since then though they are 626-327-34-16....there is hope.

royalblue · 01-03-2013, 01:20 PM

Wow, that's bad. Like someone else said that's pretty cool in a strange sad way.

The Wolf · 01-03-2013, 02:54 PM

These were tough times for me. Especially since my dogs name is Trammell...
