What does it mean if you're winning 12-2, but losing 2-3?
In general it means --- > you're going to start winning more. Let's not forget that Deadball Era teams (league ERA's of around 2) .. Pythag holds for them too.

It ain't that pitching teams do badly vs Pythag. It's that "scrubby teams that are way too scrubby" fall below Critical Mass, as you put it. Especially in terms of their psychologically losing their mojo...
