I was thinking about this thread the other day. They have way exceeded my expectations, especially when Brantley went out for the year. -

That Napoli acquisition was a fantastic move. Love this team, just wish everyone was healthy. The playoffs will be fun. -

Need to go 5-2 for me to be dead on now. And with Tito set on giving guys rest...I think we may fall short of that but this team is exactly where I thought they could be the whole year. It didn't happen quite in the way I expected but we are here. I was expecting an all-time great rotation with runs being at premium. We saw flashed of that but I certainly didn't expect to be 2nd in the AL in runs and the pitching wasn't quite what I thought (mostly due to injuries).HitsRus;1812374 wrote:Time to take a look at the predictions made last spring .....
TBone and I "went out on a limb" and predicted division titles. I predicted 90 wins, which The Tribe hit last nite. TBone predicted 95 wins! ... Which is still in play if only the Tribe plays .500 the rest of the way out.
What a great year.
Most certainly, the team has exceeded our expectations.. Even without Brantley and the latest injuries to the starting rotation.
However, it's been one hell of year. Very excited for postseason baseball in Cleveland. -

I had some hits and misses with this. Gotta give hits credit for feeling bullish. I was spot on about Kluber and Lindor though.like_that;1789704 wrote:Hits, that is very bullish especially when the defending world champs are in the same division and have the Tribe's number. This team needs to avoid their traditional slow start to the season.
You gotta figure having Lindor in the lineup all year will be a boost and Kluber won't have a 9-16 record. I see Kluber having a strong bounce back year. I will go with 89 wins and a wild card spot.
