Bill E. 676 Posted May 3, 2023 It has been awhile and to recognize the stellar start to the 2023 season... Guess the total number of games the Pirates will win this season (including playoffs and World Series). The tiebreaker for each will be the number of home runs for the entire team during the contest period. So guess something like 101 games 95 Homers. You must pick a combination not yet picked. If you decide to change your guess do it in a new post, do not edit your old one or I will miss it. I will post updates as guesses come in when I can. The winner can guess a number higher than actual but under beats over so if they win 100 games with 50 homers, 99 beats 101, but 101 beats 98. Winner gets something like this: https://megateeth.com/shop/megalodon-shark-teeth/large-high-quality-serrated-megalodon-shark-tooth-6/g4080/ So Winner is closest to the number of wins. Tiebreaker 1: number of home runs Tiebreaker 2: First to guess the winning numbers.

BeenHereBefore 1,362 Posted May 4, 2023 Already made my prediction but think they will get a lot of wins from teams with questionable pitching. They already have 20 wins now but seems they hit a wall against the Rays of late. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,632 Posted September 19, 2023 At one point the Tigers climbed back to .500 and we thought "these net three series we'll see if we can play with the big boys" at which point the team went 0-9 and has been sticking around 10 under ever since.
