They won 78 last year. I think they've made improvements. 85 is likely too high, but I could see .500. More of a stretch goal for them.

The more I think about, the more I expect this division to be pretty tough. I think we'll still win it and be a very clear favorite, but I could see LAA, TEX, & OAK all win 85+. The Angels have a very good line up and it just got better. They keep adding arms and it just may work out somewhat.
Has 4 100 win seasons happened before? I know 3 has about a half dozen times.Deluxe said:Farmer1906 said:

Agreed. I'm already dreading the lazy narratives at the end of the year if our 100 win streak gets snapped.

Red Sox employees were confused why the team hosted a replica ring night during the offseason. Then they realized the rings were for them.

Verducci: A.J., I'm gonna ask you a question that every fan I think has asked since this story broke. It's more difficult for you because it's way more meaningful. The Astros won the World Series in 2017. Based on what we know now, what we know from the commissioner's investigation, is that championship tainted?
Hinch: It's a fair question. Everyone will have to draw their own conclusion. I hope over time & the demonstration with the talents of this team, the players, the careers that are being had, we have some of the best players in the entire sport all together on the same team. I hope over time it's proven that it wasn't but I understand the question. It's a fair question and people are gonna have to draw their own conclusions. Unfortunately we opened that door as a group and that question may never be answered. We may never know. We're gonna have to live and move forward and be better in the sport. Unfortunately no one can answer that question. I can't pinpoint what advantages or what happened or what exactly would have happened otherwise but we did it to ourselves.
