It's Opening Day!

Here are the entries for the 2023 W-L contest. The picks:
1. 2023 W-L Record
2. Tiebreaker: Time of Boston's Quickest Nine-Inning Game
3. Tiebreakest: Masataka Yoshida's On-Base Percentage
             W-L     Time     OBP
Beans 100-62 Jacob L. 96-66 1:23 .393 Jeff M. 94-68 2:17 .421 Paul H. 91-71 2:26 .448 Elliot S. 88-74 2:02 .387 Rich G. 87-75 2:19 .368 Jere S. 87-75 2:03 .399 Michael G. 86-76 2:23 .434 Ben B. 86-76 2:12 .377 Allan W. 85-77 2:12 .350 Warren S. 85-77 2:33 .358 Brett H. 84-78 2:02 .325 Ray P. 83-79 2:01 .365 John G. 80-82 2:40 .380 David F. 79-83 2:37 .406
Note: I hope no one feels the choose-your-own-prize-(within-a-price-limit) idea is lame. I looked at some baseball books coming out this spring (including one by Joe Kelly; a sample I read was okay, but). Nothing really grabbed my attention.

I'm late so might as well just plop down a 100-62 right here

Allan,

Sent you an email a few days ago ?


91 Wins

2.26

0.448


In 2023, The Red Sox could be anywhere between say 60-90 wins ? We could be awful, we could somehow, against the odds, sneak into the Playoffs !

Guessing the realistic number of say 75-78 isn't really much Fun is it ......... better to be optimistic !


Cheers

Wow, only two people predicted 90-plus wins?

Any prize works for me... even bragging rights...

Should have checked my entry before e-mailing, mistyped the time so that is me done lol

Actual reason for replying is to say from my point of view I don't think the prize is at all lame. When we can win a book you are recommending that is great but if nothing has really "grabbed" you of late then better to leave it open for people to choose.

Running any comp, particularly with a actual prize that is costing you money is always appreciated, particularly when times are so hard for so many people these days.

2:19 is a typo? What should it be?

Missed an email, added a third 90+ pick.
