Win total for the season

[NinersSBChamps]

We have 77 wins as of tonight. I think we end up with 88 and the three seed in the playoffs. Nats will win 82 games and if the season was longer we would blow the division.

Gonna go grab some popcorn for this thread....

You think we're only going to win 11 more games? lol

If we win only 88 games or less, I will suspend myself for a 2 weeks after the playoffs.

If we finish with 88 wins, I will give myself Tommy John and not watch the Braves until next August.

It's not that far-fetched. Pitching Maholm every fifth day is basically an auto loss. Not too mention our great second basemen and center fielders.

We've fortunately only lost one starter on offense and one starting pitcher (assuming Beachy isn't out again).

Our 2010 team won more games with less talent. We were throwing D-Lee, Omar, Prado sucked the last month, Heyward cooled off, and we had Ankiel in center. Heyward went down around the same time as Chipper did in 2010 with that ankle injury.

We are lucky we only lost Heyward. I have doubts BJ and Uggla will be this terrible the last month and a half. One of them will have a mini-hot streak. We still have Freeman, McCann, Justin, BABIP, and possibility BJ and Uggla might be ok.

I don't see how a broken jaw could keep him out all of October honestly, other than being rusty.

I'd have him in there just for defensive purposes.

He may be a little shy about diving for fear of falling on his jaw, but man... even if his bat would suck his defensive value in RF are enough.

niners and lockhart definitely need to bet on this one.

Well that's a bunch of negative BS. Maholm is 9-10 and has pitched mostly on the road. He's a solid 5th starter and he's exactly what we need right now, somebody to eat innings and keep us in the game.

Actually if Maholm pitches at home it will basically be an auto win... but it doesn't surprise me you haven't even looked at the splits.

Someone needs to make an avatar bet towards this.
