Aren't there enough threads already for Moneyball members to pat themselves on the back for what a great world they feel they have?  Did we really need another? 
Nobody's forcing you to read this.

Okay, so I checked the NL in HJ, and 5 out of 16 teams had franchise win averages outside of the 87 to 75 range.

That's almost double the teams (5-3), in half the number of franchises checked (16 to 32), in over 50% more seasons (17 vs. 11).

I think that contradicts all your points.

EDIT:  Checked the AL now, too.

Total of 10 teams outside +/- 6 wins of an 81 average over 17 seasons.
So HJ is a 'tard world?   Alrighty then.

HJ ranks in the 20s in the last attempt at rankings, and is consistently below MB and MG in every ranking I've ever seen.  I'm not sure how that does anything but back that fact up.

I'm sure a public world would be more extreme.

HJ just has a wider spread.

30 of 32 between 92.5 and 70.5 ... hardly awful, but not as closely packed as MB.  Pretty much exactly what I expected.

Does that "amaze" you?

Because I just checked one of my worlds and, if you add up all the wins/losses for every team, the world has played .500.    Pretty neat, huh?

I'm just saying that the tops worlds with bucketloads of seasons behind them should have a pile of teams who are a few wins away from .500.    If you've got teams averaging 100 wins or losses over a dozen seasons, you're looking at a turd dressed in HBD clothing.  Nothing "amazing" about it.    It's averages from a good world.

Your choice of words annoyed me.   Plus I've had nothing but problems for two days at work.   So choose your words better, dumbass.

As you can probably guess from the fact I bothered to look into this, it has been pretty slow at work for me this week.  Doesn't take much to get amazed when you're just trying to stay awake.
