Our long time readers will remember that we've put together our own season projections every season since 2012 (except 2013, when the team briefly made me lose my will to live). It's that time again, and this year I decided to give it a catchy name, complete with random capitalization changes, just like wRC, ZiPS, and other fun baseball acronyms. The Astros County annual projections are henceforth known as LEMoNGELLO, or Latest Extrapolated Mishmash of Numbers Guessing Everyone's Likely Latent Outcome. Rolls right off the tongue, right?
To recap prior seasons, in 2012 we projected 74 wins and the team actually won 55.
