They were tough on ATL with the thick wind blowing in. Id say when that wind is screaming out like it does sometimes they will struggle in those.

Final tally

Final:


+$1565.


I should have done it. The final implosion, which led to 101 losses, blew the number up at the end.

My theroy they were the worst team in baseball was pretty doggone good. Only Houston was worse.

In the meantime, they continue to drink the Theo Kool-Aid and "wait 'til next year." In reality, Rizzo and Castro are their only two young players who look like stars and they didn't produce a single pitcher out of the minors this year who looks like he could be dominant. They're going to have to do it through free agency unless they want to lose at least 85-90 next year.
