59-103
The headline says it all. The last time this team lost over 100 games was in 1976. In his 50 seasons running the team, General Manager Kevin Dickson had never lost 100 games. He lost 98 in his second season, but never 100.
“Yeah it sucks. I knew we weren’t a playoff team this year, but figured we could still play .500,” he said. “I know we had some key injuries early, but everyone has injuries. To be honest I still can’t figure out how we ended up so bad.”
The team actually didn’t start off too bad, finishing 13-14 in April, just 1 game under .500. However, the wheels came off the bus in June as the team went 5-22, which along with a 6-21 September doomed the team’s fate. Their -157 run differential pretty much sums it up.
The only bright spot is that the team should have a top five pick, which hasn’t happened since 2014. It demonstrates how well the front office has been able to put together winning lineups while usually drafting the the second half of the draft for the past 40 years.
If you are wondering who the team took with that #4 pick in the 2014 first round, well his name is Hector Cano

I was checking out the division and holy crap the Pioneers fell off a cliff mid season. Shot right pass us on the rocket sled to the bottom!
