Predict Our Final Record
Predict Our Final Record
Looks like I picked the perfect season to quit sniffing Mariners' glue. Never done this before in 42 seasons, but I quit watching and caring in late April. It's been a profoundly liberating experience.
A quick check of our current record has us at 30-44, but that record is deceiving because of our fake news hot start. The cold reality is that the M's are 17-42 and playing at .288 winning pct. since then. After factoring in the 13-2 fake news, Coug math tells me we will finish at 55-107 which will be good enough for the Mariners worst 162-game season in history. This should earn Dipoto an additional raise and extension, according to Mariners' corporate logic.
Ultimately, after September call-ups, I think they will probably finish even worse. My final prediction is 52-110.
Do you think they have what it takes to be our worst team ever?

Re: Predict Our Final Record
Your 52 wins takes us out of the top ten tanking teams in mlb history. We can easily lose 110 games this year
I had us at 69 wins before the season started at the old forum and it looked really stupid after the hot start. Now it’s a fairly positive forecast

Love how Dipoto gently referred to this season as "a step back." This is closer to a triple back handspring off the 60-meter board.

I certainly would not bet against your 52-110 prediction.

Re: Predict Our Final Record
yeah, i thought the point was to predict the final record which includes the hot start. Was curious since you mentioned fivethirtyeight where they had them, 71 wins as i read it, we shall see

We’ll get a better idea next home stand against KC and Baltimore. Who really is the worst? Go Mariners.

I’m surprised they had us at 71 when I looked. It seems we are worse than that, but we shall see.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2019 4:33 pmyeah, i thought the point was to predict the final record which includes the hot start.
