1991 BLB BOLD Predictions Thread

[Sully]

Our fan interest is about 8. Nino is practically our only recognizable player. That sounds about right. We're averaging just under 10k on the year, but it has dropped considerably since the trades of Alvarez and Krsnich.

BOLD: A Miller wins Refreshing New Brew.

BOLDER: A Miller wins Pale Ale Pitcher.

BOLDEST: Millers win the Ale.

Two for three. Not bad.

Two for three. Not bad.

Still not sure how Morgan beats out Robison for New Brew

Robison had a better OBP, OPS, VORP wOBA, Win Shares, OPS+, EqA and RC.

Morgan had a higher BA, slightly higher SLG and more RBI.

Good work voters.

Not So Bold: I think this is the perfect storm season for Virginia and our legit year to win it all. I think there are some notable players playing their final season for the Colonials so we need to strike while the iron is hot.

Bold: I think the 1991 Colonials break the single-season record for both Team BBs and Team OBP.

Bolder: Yoritoki Maeda has the first 200 Hit, 100 R, 30 HR, 100 RBI season in Colonial History.

Boldest: I think the breakout star on the team and perhaps the BLB is Hector Chavez. I say Chavez gets off to a hot start and wrestles the Starting 2B Spot for the IL All-Star away from Geoff Scott. While he won't get on-base at the same clip as Scott, I think his Power and Speed will earn him the nod.

How many did I hit?

Not So Bold - Check

Bold - Check

Bolder - Maeda ended with 197 Hits (-3), 132 R (+32), 24 HRs (-6), 148 RBI (+48 lead league)

Boldest - Check +

BOLD: Washington misses the playoffs for the second time in three years.

0/1

Bold predictions:

Pat Washington will return to his 30 HR form.
Vittorio Samarano will swipe 20 bases.
Dane Browning will break the all-time record en-route to 70 doubles (record is 65).
The Julios will win a combined 35 games.
Jeremiah Gray appears in 60 games and wins Refreshing New Brew as a reliever.

None of these happened.

But...

Washington did return to form with a nice season.

Browning was once on pace to shatter the record but slowed down in July/August. Still finished with his third 60 double season.

Jeremiah Gray appeared in over 60 games and was only a shadow in a heavily offensive New Brew race. I still love the guy.

Seems your players use "I" in team.

Little early, but what the heck..

Pawtucket 84-78

Mechandising $$$$ increases to top 5!

Yes, its all about profit in Pawtucket:)

Oh and FINALLY a new Team Logo to replace the DEPRESSED PILGRIM!

0-3! The logo wasnt replaced until season ended. Still... I'll take it.

Bolder - Maeda ended with 197 Hits (-3), 132 R (+32), 24 HRs (-6), 148 RBI (+48 lead league)

Neglected to mention that while Maeda didn't hit those numbers.... Woodbury did... and Chavez missed them by 1 HR.

Oh... and Virginia Colonials 1991 Brewmaster's Cup Champions!!!

I'm expecting you'll do everything in your power to make sure the banners make a return.

[Clay]

Now I will... great idea.

[Pat]

Dude.

[Carlos]

I just wanted to make sure that Clay could thank me for something.

[Clay]

I just wanted to make sure that Clay could thank me for something.

I thank you for Dane Browning - one of my favorite players in the BLB.

That is... of the players who are not part of the 1991 Brewmaster's Cup Champion Virginia Colonials.

Has Pat gotten his 1983 banner yet?
