  1. I don't assign these hypothetical predictions with any more weight than the guesses we all are making here. The NYY have their ace back. The Jays are better because they greatly improved after signing Cease and Okomoto. They won 94 games last year and are better this year. The NYY got their ace and a healthy Judge back. The Orioles had an off year after winning 91 games in 2024 and they got a prime batter (who we should have signed) in Alonso. I expect they will win around 92 games, edging us out for third place.
  2. Thats my opinion and I am sticking with it. Hopefully I am wrong and we finish in first place. Watch and weep!
  3. My definition of "out of the question" means mathmatically impossible. We won't win just 70. Nor will we win 95. I like my prediction, right around 90, 88-90 sounds about right.
  4. Suit yourself, but IMO you are taking this WAY too seriously.
  5. Depends. If we manage to make the playoffs we might win a couple more.
  6. I think its clear that Toronto and NY have better rosters than we do. It will be close between the O's and the Flops. I predict that the O's will win 91 games to edge out the Flops. The deciding factor will be that we cannot score enough runs to win more than 90 games.
  7. I am saying that no win total that does not exceed the total number of games played is "out of the question". However I think we are discussing what is REASONABLE, and I think around 90 wins or so is reasonable, good for fourth place since three teams in the ALE are better than us.
  8. It actually has nothing to do with the "at best" comment, which had to do with our final position in the standings I believe. Fourth. At best.
  9. 100 isn’t “out of the question”-nor is 70. At this point all these predictions are just opinions. Mine is a game or two better than last year, no playoffs -though I may be overly optimistic- or if we do get in another quick exit.
  10. Not with this roster.
  11. As long as everyone enjoys me being a pain I’m good doing it
  12. Just wanted to let everyone know that Rafaela has picked up exactly where he left off. Two Ks in 2 ABs today so far. Still useless with a bat in his hands.
  13. We have reached the point where we are entitled to complain about not being a factor in the discussion about championship contenders.
  14. I don't see this team as much better than last year's team-maybe by a couple of wins or so, but certainly not a factor for a championship. We could have been there if Henry wasn't such a cheap SOB.
  15. Sound like what the Peter Principle referred to as a "lateral arabesque".....a wash. So if we manage to get into the playoffs this year I expect a similar result-one and out.
  16. I was referring to actually spending money on FAs to obtain the talent necessary to be a relevant factor for a ring, which right now we are not.
  17. I think Henry has put the reins on Breslows ability to pay what is necessary to get offensive talent.
  18. Well of course! The first goal is to get into the playoffs. But if the result is like last year I for one am not going to satisfied. Last year it was ok. This year we should demand more.
  19. I was happy he opted out, given the injury history and the way he finished the season. I was hoping for an upgrade which never came.
  20. Are you satisfied with making a guest appearance in the playoffs like last year?
  21. I realize its a possibility, though I don't think it will happen. Regardless, just getting into the playoffs and getting bounced in round 1 like last year isn't good enough because management had the means to get us the talent to do much better. I am not willing to settle for mediocrity again.
  22. I am predicting 88-90 wins, no playoffs. Now lets watch the games prove me right.
  23. 4th place and no playoffs is spot on. It’s what I have been writing all along. Pecota is a few games off in the win column though. Watch and weep….
  24. And where would you play him? DH?
