Climbing out of the hole
Posted by Dave Studeman
Random fact: The Angels were 33-44, with 85 ties, after the first inning. They finished the season with a 97-65 record, which means that they were 64-21 after the first inning. They were not only slow starters during the season, they were slow starters during their games.
The team with the worst first-inning record was the New York Mets: 31-45 with 86 ties. Suffice to say that they didn't climb out of their early-game holes nearly as well as the Angels did.
Dave was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Comments about this article can be sent to him through the miracle of e-mail.

Perhaps I’m missing something but 33-44 after the 1st inning doesn’t mean they finished 33-44 in those games. It would seem likely that they won a few games where they trailed after the 1st inning and lost a few where they led. So if their record in those games wasn’t 33-44, you can’t extrapolate their record in the remaining games.
Correct?
