Next fifteen games -predictions

[tntoriole]

The Os play 2 at Washington,  then 6 at home against Tigers and Boston, then 4 at Detroit and 3 at KC

15 games against teams that are 22-40 at the moment

11-4 is my optimistic side..but less than 10 wins is a fail. 
 

thoughts/predictions?

 

 

[DirtyBird]

12-3

[Aristotelian]

15-0 until proven otherwise.

[Spy Fox]

I wouldn't count 9-6 as a fail, though I think they can do better. 

It's tougher than it might seem at the start. We draw Josiah Gray and MacKenzie Gore as the two SPs, who are likely to be their two best pitchers.

I'll vote for 10-5.

[TopGunnar]

11-4? Our starting and Relief pitching honestly is atrocious. Yes, atleast we’re hitting but you win in this league with the arms. Until they fix that I won’t have high expectations for this squad

If I were betting, confidence would end at or before 9-6.  The pitching is just too shaky and it could just as easily be 6-9 so I probably wouldn't bet.  Offensively this team is not too shabby though.

While I love the potential of the team, they are just not playing great baseball right now.    They are hitting, but pitching and defense has been very subpar.    I'm prepared to be disappointed until they start playing better.

[sevastras]

Pitching has been garbage, hitting has been better than expected. Pitching will get better, hitting will cool down a bit. That said, 13-2 because the schedule is easier than the schedule they have played thus far.

We don't care about no starting pitchers. Bring us some relievers who don't throw 99 MPH.

Would love to have seen these predictions down 4-0 at the end of the first.

This is always the correct answer in one of these threads. These usually jinx us.

8-7. Detroit seems to own us and at KC is always tough for some reason. Nats might stink, but they play hard.

I hope most of the roster has some Eye of the Tiger for Detroit after the weak showings against them last year.

The lineups that series in Detroit as Adley was...what was it....finishing up knocking off the rust after finishing up his injury rehab...stand out in my memory as a low-water mark in the last days before the present Adley era began.

I never like to predict these things, as inevitably there’s one or two bad teams that we underperform against each year and you just never know when that’s coming.   I try not to get my expectations too high when we play a bad team because I’m just setting myself up for disappointment.   At the end of the day, I don’t care who they beat or lose to, so long as they win enough to be in the race.  

That said, I was happy with our 5 of 7 record against Oakland and Chicago.
