Could the Braves lose 90 games this year?

Let’s discuss.

They would have to under perform but anything is possible

 

[msstate7]

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.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

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.

100% chance they lose less than 162/

I doubt they lose 90. Only way I see that happening is if they fall way out of contention by the deadline and jettison a bunch of guys and replace them with the youngsters.

It will be interesting to see how the offense settles in. Defense looks a little better. Snitker still makes the occasional head-scratching move, but he appears to be a bit more deliberative in his approach this season.

I'm thinking...thats a hard one to top

I put the odds at losing 90 games lower than the odds of winning 90 games.

The Braves are not a bad team...they just aren't good...yet.

They are certainly tracking towards being a good team though.

Pozzy scum.

Obviously he is no longer an intelli-brave

Let’s discuss.

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?

It's the opposite of the win 90 game thread made to reverse the jinx

Struck me more as a being a dick thread but if we’re using it to reverse the jinx that’s cool.

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!!!
