Team Breakout Article

[oldsox]

I saw an article on my phone yesterday that was interesting. It listed the 5 teams most likely to have a breakout season, They were

 

Braves

Orioles

Pirates

Sox

Cubs

It didn't say anything we already didn't know, but it did predict a 10 game increase in Wins. The Pirates should be interesting this year.

The Cubs? A team in the playoffs last year? Lol

Haha, strange.  They have won 83, 83, and 92 games the last three years.  Breakout city!

[Baron]

I'm assuming they mean World Series apperance for the Cubs as a "Breakout"? 

 

I'm hoping for 72 wins for the Sox this year...maybe 74. God if we don't add a starting pitcher it's going to be rough though.

Yeah I guess breakout is just relative to each team’s situation.

Braves and Orioles: Teams going back to being contenders after a down year

Sox and Pirates: Most improved losers

Cubs: World Series or bust

I buy the Pirates way more than the Sox on pitching alone, even though their lineup still looks a little sketchy.

Made me think of this scene

 

Here's hoping it ends similarly with a 100 win season out of nowhere

It's better than wallowing in self-pity IMO.

That’s only because you know you are getting an interview with Jerry if Getz has another 100+ loss season.

I feel pretty good about 2026 knowing Josh Rojas is gone.

Living in reality doesn’t mean wallowing in self pity.  As it stands right now I don’t really see this team being appreciably better than it was last season.  I’m not wallowing in that, it’s just what I see.
