How strong of a correlation do you think there is in baseball between being the better team and winning a five-game series?Winning the weakest division in baseball and getting booted from the playoffs in the 1st round(2017 & 2018) and not making the playoffs in 2019 is an absolute failure in my mind. I'd probably think differently if they would have won the divisional series either of those years.
Well, at least we understand each other and our difference is opinion. I can respect that for sure.
I think for a lot of us, it's loose. Losing in the ALDS doesn't mean you put together a bad team. You win a bunch of games in the regular season? Damn, that's a good year. Now you're in the playoffs and hope you get hot/lucky.
That 2016 team was probably the worst team we put into the playoffs over a three-year stretch. Remember, we were tossing Josh Tomlin and Ryan Merritt out there... and nearly swept the ALCS with them.
