re: I’ve come to accept this baseball year for what it is

It will take a minor miracle to host. They’ve dug themselves a huge hole. With Vandy this week and at Tenn next, you could be looking at 5-10 at the half way point. To host I’d imagine you need to be 17-13, maybe 16-14.
So you’d have to 12-3 the back half.
It’s possible, but this looks like a 2 or 3 seed on the road at best.
