VIEW FROM THE BOOTH: Road woes, Flo is for real, Chris Dangerfield HOF induction

I've seen a lot of quibbling on the internets (a series of tubes, by the way) about how awful the Quakes have been on the road, and while I am not here to tell you otherwise, I am here to clarify or give context to the statistics. Since the start of the 2016 season, the San Jose Earthquakes have won just 4 of 38 road games, that's roughly an 11% win rate (and I'm only doing this in the context of wins, not points). The Western Conference, including the San Jose Earthquakes, as a whole over that same period of time had win rates of roughly 18% in 2016, 19% in 2017, and through just 47 games in 2017 a 23% win rate, with 11 of 47 road games played in 2018 ending in wins for the visiting team.
