Jose Abreu Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) 77-85 record Edited March 28, 2018 by Jose Abreu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 03:55 PM) 77-85 record I'll go with the exact same number because it precisely splits the win totals from the successful competitive 2016 and 2015 campaigns.

zisk Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 73-89. Wishing for a real slow start and a better finish. If they go 63-99 I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I got them 76-86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Very tough to pin down a number this year considering the vast amount of AL teams that are already out of it and what they (along with the Sox) will do with trades. 74-88, but +/- 4 wouldn’t surprise me.

ChiSox59 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 76-80 sounds right. KC and Detroit suck. The Twins still aren't anything special. We play those three teams 35% of the time. I could see 30+ wins against against those 3. Sub 20 games under .500 against the rest of the league seems....almost too low. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 28, 2018 -> 03:55 PM) 77-85 record I’m also going with a 77-85 prediction. I don’t think this is a 77 win team talent wise, but playing 38 games against the Tigers & Royals will help. I also think the additions of Kopech & Jimenez will spur a nice run in the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 I am going to go with 69-93. I think there is going to be some serious roller coaster times this year as the team missing guys like Quintana will have some significant struggles at times as they grow into being at the major league level for the first time for a full season. Remember 40% of this roster (9 of 25) is on the opening day roster for the first time ever. That is a really big number, and it will have reverberations on the season. You will see guys have prolonged struggles as they fight the mental side of the game, as well as the physical side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) 73 wins ..............this will be last year Sox are in the 70's in wins for the forseeable future Edited March 28, 2018 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement Level Poster Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 74-88 They’ll be some exciting games and we’ll score some runs, but the starting rotation between has beens like shields trying to be’s, like Lopez Giolito and fulmer, and prudent innings limits for the young pitchers will probably bring at least one stretch of where we lose 12 of 14 , 15 of 17 or something like that. I guess positively were around a .500 team outside of that prognisticated stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Honestly there is a huge variance with the Sox win total this season. I could see them winning anywhere from 62-85 games, and none of it would be a surprise to me. Since I have to pick, I'm going to say somewhere in the 77-82 win range. Mostly because the Tigers and Royals are gawd awful. In a normal division I'd be more in the 68-74 win range, which is where I see their true talent level at based on the opening day roster.

kwolf68 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 71-75 is my vote only because I think they team will be great in the 2nd half. I think this team will be horrendous to start.... But....Rodon will get healthy, Kopech will be called up, Gio and Lopez will be settled in and who knows/cares who the #5 will be at that point and I think they'll actually be damn good team in the 2nd half. But holy cow man...the rotation as it is now is a dumpster fire. Against real MLB teams it'll be batting practice. Though Gio is the one bright spot.

BlackSox13 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 When I first read the title of the thread 78 popped in my head so I'll say 78-84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took tomorrow off so I'm drinking is my excuse. I think they go 71-91 this year... I could see them with 75 wins, but no way this team can finish .500 with the starting pitching they are rolling out this year to start. This is considering that their pen is better than we first though (I think it will be). If the pen falters, this is a 100 loss team...mind you I only say that because of pitching. The suck won't be here long. Edited March 29, 2018 by kwolf68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suck won't be here long. Yeah I figured it was just a typo. Dude, my initial response was going to be something to the effect of " are you posting under the influence?" but I didn't want to come across as being a snarky asshole. The starting pitching is my concern as well. Fulmer and Shields leave alot to be desired and Lopez's ST has me concerned although I think he will eventually come around.
