Comments on: The 5th Inning – 2008 http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/07/the-5th-inning-2008/ News, views, and analysis on the Detroit Tigers and baseball Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:06:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Vince in MN http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/07/the-5th-inning-2008/#comment-96974 Vince in MN Sat, 12 Jul 2008 18:24:23 +0000 http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/?p=2954#comment-96974 I suggest we put all the interleague games in a separate inning; it is, after all, an 18 game "diversion" from the AL pennant races. Make it the 5th inning. Then we could just ignore it when making comparisons to innings 1-4 and 6-9. Lumping those IL games in with AL games really skews the stats in my opinion. It would help dispel the illusion that the team is playing "great", when in reality those IL games don't bear any resemblance to the performance against purely AL competition.
