Motor City Sonics Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) 74-88. They can't have that incredible run of bad luck from 2022, can they? It's like all the misfortune that struck Mr. Burns' softball team, forcing Homer Simpson to play. Who is our Homer? Kerry Carpenter?

At Tampa for 3, at Houston for 3, vs Boston for 3, at Toronto for 3, vs San Francisco for 3, vs Cleveland for 3. That's not exactly a way to ease into the season. And when a team is bottom third of the league, most matchups look tough anyway. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems unlikely I want to be wrong but my gut says that through a combination of bad luck and bad players, the pitching is much worse than ever imagined. I also don’t envision Vierling, Maton, and Meadows being impactful over the course of a long season. Big drop offs from Schoop and Haase aren’t made up by small improvements from Baez and Tork. Greene gets injured again and misses significant time. That’s how I got to 56. Edited March 30, 2023 by Hongbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems unlikely I can see a better team in June/July yield a similar year end record. A couple of variables to consider are the schedule and more games outside of a weak division (hence a tougher overall schedule) and possible trades of Rodriguez/Baez/Boyd among others. But I think it should be a better team for the first 2/3 of the season with expectations of improvements from Greene/Torkleson, rebounds from MeadowsA/Baez, better positional depth, and hopefully not using 57 different pitchers.

mtutiger Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I can see the argument for a similar record to 2022. I dont see it for 58 wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the Mud Hens’ opener with fingers crossed. 3 rounds of precipitation are expected, and hopefully the projected window between the first and second holds true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logically it doesn’t make sense to you. We see illogical events happen all the time in the world and many smart people still can’t accept the possibility that something that shouldn’t happen does either through circumstance, luck, anomaly, or maybe something that can’t be explained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
