.667 Winning Percentage is 108-54

[Hubs]

For anyone who is unhappy about this team after last nights loss, a win today puts them 4-2 on the road to open the season for a .667 winning percentage.

It's a long season, and you gotta take one game at a time and not look forward to 49-game stretches of doom like Dylan Hacknandez.

However, a .667 winning percentage is a 108-54.

The goal for this team should be to win 50% of the road games and 67% of home games. If they do that it would be 41 road wins and 54 home wins for 95 wins on the season.

Sorry, I skimmed.

I know it’s a long season but winning this series counts extra because it’s the Mariners, not only a division rival but also direct competition for the wildcard.  Besides I’d like to see Ohtani kick some ass.

Really no reason to care much about their record these first 50ish games at least(last season was a good example)....as long as they don't just completely suck of course. Stay at or above .500 while figuring out roles and what kind of team you have/what will need to be addressed to optimize their potential during the latter half of the year

Just hoping they get through these first few months with relatively good health

A key for me would be winning all the series we should win (based on talent) and splitting the series vs the more talented and deeper teams.

[Trumboner44]

If they lose tonight, they are on track to go 81-81.

Every game counts the same. If they won 75% of their games in the first 50 .... or 38 wins....and then played 50/50 ball the rest of the way, They'd win 106 games.

I'll settle for my preseason prediction of 96 wins. Only need 92 more. 

[Duren, Duren]

Because it's the start of the season everything is magnified. People project longer term trends from short term results. Even after the first game loss there were doomsayers in the media, hoping the team would implode and pave the way for Ohtani's exit.

Can't get too high or low now but it's better to be winning than losing. 

[REDneck]

.667 baby!!

We miss Manoah and Gausman in the series with Toronto, which should help.

[Dtwncbad]

And if they win their next game, they will be in pace for 115 wins. . .

This is a very powerful AW thread.  Thank you

There are a couple big record milestones… .500 and .666667

A train leaves Chicago traveling west at 60 miles per hour. An hour later, at 12 noon, another train leaves Chicago traveling east at 80 miles per hour. Would Mike Trout named his next child Jeter?

[Swordsman78]

Plus they are 2-1 with Rendon having served 3 of his 4 suspension games.

Funny how that works, eh? 

When I took this team and baseball in general way too serious, I'd notice things like that. From our schedule and rivals.

On the one hand it's petty. And I assume it evens out. On the other when you notice it (and it's nobody's fault / evil design), it stands out. Both in your team getting the bad luck of it, and the team you hate getting the good luck of it.

When he returns it will be like a big slap. 

I mean splash.
