Another daring attempt at using only wins and losses to explain why the Rockies don't make the playoffs very often.
Fifty four games. It's 100 games less than what the length of a baseball season should be, but in the world we live in it's exactly one-third of a major league season.
I was left somewhat unsatisfied with what the data told me when I wrote my piece on half-season records last month, which was basically that the Rockies have been just about the as good (or bad) in the first half of the season as the second half of the season, and that the amount of winning halves almost exactly correlate to the amount of winning seasons.
