    They would have to under perform but anything is possible

    84-78 (2nd wildcard)
    Win wildcard
    Division win 3-2 (80 losses)
    Nl championship series win 4-3 (83 losses)
    WS win 4-3 (86 losses)

    Nope, they only lose 86

    Braves are around a .500 team so they are about as likely to lose 90 and win 90. Mediocre team can over or under achieve.

    Agree with the above, but significantly more likely than winning 90 in my opinion. like 15% for losing 90 and 5% for winning 90 (prolly more likely than this for losing 90, but I really think we fall in that 73-80 win range).

    95% chance we are somewhere between a 90 win and a 90 loss team...hows that for precision

    I’ll go a step farther and say 98% the Braves finish between 98-win and 98-loss team. Your move.

    What are we discussing exactly? Do you have some data point you would like to bring up that leads you to think we’ll lose 90? Or are you just throwing up a number without really adding anything to the conversation?

    How long have you been a member here again? You’d think you’d have caught on to how stuff works around here.

    Hint: We like to have fun. Lighten up a bit.

    At minimum, half our threads need to be “dick threads” or Fearless Leader will bring back the bitmining regime.

    Been a member a long time. Been around since the scout days. I know how things go. Wasn’t even the thread itself as it much as it was the “Let’s discuss” that rubbed me the wrong way. Anyway not worried about it though. We won today!!!
