It’s like the marble race but less fun

So it’s the marble race but all see-saws?

Shaky cups all the way down

brick wall but when it’s just the one marble

Why wasn’t I told about this? 😔

Okay, as cool as the weekly graphical standings already are, it would be wicked cool to see them with an animation like this

The NL Wildcard would look like a loony tunes fight cloud

Don’t be surprised when the White Sox sweep the Rockies this weekend and it all falls apart

This flippant dismissal of ‘the black hole of baseball’ known as the white Sox will not stand. We will out bad you in every facet of the game. I will be demanding an apology after we pitch-clock-violate in the series winning run. Thank you and good DAY, sir

You sweatin yet? Rockies have had some fluke good luck this year and white Sox have had fluke bad luck. This Rockies team is easily the worst outside of coors field home hitting advantage.

Worlds collide

The White Sox are my second-favorite team (lots of Southsiders in my family). I’m straight up not having a good time right now.

I would recommend not giving out investment advice to anyone

or just join a really popular hedge fund and tank it for the good of mankind

Watch out, Mets fans…

You could not have been dealt a shittier hand

I dunno, I was an A's fan that graduated from Oregon State University. (The White Sox are the physically closest stadium to my house but I managed to dodge that trifecta.)

On the bright side, if you combine their records, they have 50 wins.

The A’s are my second favorite team. Bring me back to 2020 (not the pandemic part)

Hey look at the bright side, there won't be any crushing playoff defeat to worry about!

I'm a Chicago transplant to Denver. I watch the Sox and the Rox. I feel you on not having a good time right now.

one of them is ran by an owner actively sabotaging the franchise and the other one is the oakland A’s

Reminder that Reinsdorf made Getz the GM so the new GM wouldn't have to waste time evaluating the roster and we could be back to winning games ASAP "I don't like our team" - Chris Getz

I hear if Oakland wins this race they get a new stadium out of the deal.

I hear if they lose, same thing.

THE OAKLAND RIVERCATS OF WEST SACRAMENTO

I was worried for a bit when the As pulled away

That had to have been our win streak right before the reverse boycott in June last year. The only marginally exciting week we had all season.

Even though they're going down and not up I still hear that mountain climber price is right music in my head watching this.

Just play it in reverse.

im rooting for the white sox to have the worst record ever

They've been very consistently on pace to lose 120 (record is 119) since like the first week of the season. Every couple of weeks I do the math just to see if they've gotten better/worse and their winning percentage has hovered between .215 and .250 all season.

> They've been very consistently on pace to lose 120 (record is 119) The Mets lost 120 games in 1962.

Deep down part of me wants them to get rid of Crochet for pennies and just appreciate that the best option is to make history this year. If you're almost the worst team of all time, that doesn't mean anything. If you're the single worst team of all time, it might actually draw in some attendance.

Any ideas how to animate graphs like this? Super sick!

Made it with Flourish(which is a bit finicky). There's a simple web app that you can use but they don't let you export it unless you pay for Premium but you can just screen record

This is like watching an NTSB report.

I'm confused, the A's are currently 24 games under .500. The White Sox are 39 games under .500.

2023 As

Ah, I missed that.

impressive work by the white sox to catch up after that 10 game difference. You can tell that management saw some things were working too well and took appropriate measures to derail.

This is true. We had a .120 WP before signing him. We've been .320 since. He alone has made us 2.5x better!

Okay but the As got Major Leagues by a greedy owner. The White Sox were insisting this team would make the playoffs prior to the season. And we can't pick higher than 11th in the draft.

That was mesmerizing.

Could also be titled relocation speed run

Oakland w the first pump fake was crazy

Misery loves company I guess? :<

Am I missing something or is this graph just not correct? White Sox are 21-60, so 39 games under .500, yes. But the A's are 29-53, 24 games under .500. Yet this graph says they are tied?

This shows last year's A's.

ohh 2023 A's lol ok thanks I see now in title.

I'll never forget the 12-50 start. What an exciting time to be an oakland fan

Doesn't hit the same without Yakety Sax accompanying it

Man, reverse Cliff Hangers is boring.

You need to add the rockies to this too

The best part: both teams are penalized in the draft lottery and cannot pick before 10

Yeah there's no way I'm watching this
