In fact, as late as September 16, it looked like the same old story and they'd be candid to finish a few games above . Catcher's base hits rate has stayed receptive at right around 1. 500 (in my preseason predictions, I gave them an 81-81 split and that was about all I was hoping for before the late-season surge kicked into gear). On paper, they look drastically more focused than what their odd record indicates, but in my eyes, it looked like a lot of the players were not envisioning and appeared the way things were.
