The 2024 54-54-54 Breakdown
There’s an old adage in baseball that every team is going to win 54 games and lose 54 games. A handful of teams have proven that wrong, but it holds true for the most part. If you’re good at math, and even if you’re not, that leaves 54 more games for a team to determine just how good they are. It’s not always incredibly cut and dry which games fall into which category, but I’m going to try to keep a running tab on each game and where it falls. I may fall behind by a few days, but I’ll work to update it throughout the year.
Overall Record: 15-10

The 54 They Were Always Going to Lose (0-3)
The Middle 54 (8-7)
March 28 - I almost put this in the loss column, but when it’s 2-1 heading into the ninth, I think it’s too close to say it’s definitely a loss.
April 7 - This one was headed for the always lose column, but didn’t get there.
April 9 - This one was also headed for the always lose column, but didn’t get there.
April 20 - Man, the offense made this one go from the loss column to here.
