In our 22nd episode of Season 2, we're diving deep into baseball. Let's begin with a recap from our 16th episode, which focused on the year's theme: blown saves. Yes, it's become quite a phenomenon!
As of May 6, 2025, the teams leading in blown saves were:
Red Sox: 8 - Phillies: 8 - Cardinals: 7 - Cubs: 7 - Diamondbacks: 7 - Dodgers: 7
The most BLOWN SAVES currently are:
Phillies: 15 - Athletics: 15 - Diamondbacks: 14 - Red Sox: 14 - Pirates: 13 - Twins: 13 - Angels: 12 - Rangers: 12 - Marlins: 12 - Rockies: 12 - Braves: 12 - White Sox: 12 - Dodgers 12
Remarkably, the Cubs have only blown one game since May 18, which may explain their impressive 17-8 record over the past month. They are closely trailing the surging Tampa Bay Rays, who boast a record of 19-7 since May 18.
On the other end of the spectrum, the teams with the worst records over the past month include:
Royals: 8-16 - Rockies: 8-18 - Braves: 8-16 - Athletics: 8-19
Wow, that's quite disappointing. The team I'm particularly perplexed by is the Royals, as they are scoring only 3.32 runs per game this year. With a run differential of just -23, their pitching seems solid, but their hitting has been puzzling. They are, in a way, the American League version of the Braves this season...
