June 18, 201412 yr By "serious" contention I mean proving the ability to win games more consistently than we have. Like, for instance, the 9 teams who have won MORE than 36 games to this point. Including the Marlins, there are 7 teams who have won only 36 games. We lose one lousy game and we become perhaps the 16th best record in MLB. Not exactly in "serious" contention, just average. It's gonna take a lot of 6-4 or better 10 game sets to get anywhere, one can't assume that ATL and WSH are going to be relative crap all year. Well I've already predicted that we win the next 4 games in a row at minimum so there's that

June 18, 201412 yr A few 8 of 10 type stretches should help. I've said it before, we've gotta move past this three over .500 rut
June 19, 201412 yr 2 @ Rangers 1-1 3 vs Pirates 1-2 3 vs Cubs 1-2 4 vs Mets [32-40] 4 @ Phillies [32-38] 3 vs Athletics [44-28] 3 vs Phillies 3 @ Cardinals [39-33] 3 @ Diamondbacks [31-44] 3 @ Mets 3-5 so far. Updated the records of each team coming up. 19-12 still doable, but need to go 16-7 from here on out.
