Episode Notes

It's always nice to see a team with a chance to do something truly historic; and when two teams are racing toward the same goal, the excitement is doubled. Unfortunately for people in Baltimore and Detroit, the race is for the all-time worst run differential. (And you better believe that it matters.) Join Pesach and Scott as they discuss why this stat is important, where the Orioles and Tigers stand historically, and the bizarre reality that this most obvious of metrics is actually pretty hard to find. And you'll learn about some pretty rotten teams along the way!
