Re: Playoff thread
The WS is a lottery, I don't see any particular formula for winning them other than being in the playoffs. What's the formula? Spending? Go tell the Mets. I will settle for a team that consistently wins their division over a decade. Even then, who knows, the Brewers are still looking for a WS

Re: Playoff thread
And it's more than the, just make the playoffs, anything can happen. It's getting the bye, that to me is a significant advantage. I don't buy the rust deal. The WC is a token participation award. Stanton will push the just make the playoffs crap. They did manage the bye last season and had a serious run
Re: Playoff thread
There's more to it than just spending, obviously.
Dipoto, for example, could have $200M and still just whiff on all his free agent picks. Because he's a nerdy pitcher who knows nothing about hitters. And it shows.
Unfortunately, Dipoto and Hollander are idiots who have no idea how to build an offense, so no, no amount of money is going to work with those retards in charge.
If we had someone that hadn't proven incapable for 11 years, maybe. But Dipoto is a fool who we'll never win under.
His only "good seasons" can be laid directly at the feet of Edwin Diaz and Cal Raleigh. Without the seasons those guys had, Dipoto's got nothing.
