I've rarely been so sad to a) be right and b) win a contest. This is the first year of seven Forster family Pirates win predictions that I've been the most accurate. I was also the most pessimistic, predicting a finish equal to 2016's record. Unfortunately, even that gloomy forecast was a shade too sunny. No Starling Marte for 80 games hurt the Bucs this year. Starling Marte on the base paths when he came back also hurt them.
Wait till next year!
