My favorite teams
If you think the manager controls whether Gomes or Hendricks get old enough to stop being MLB caliber players, you may put too high of a value on managers.lmao yet counsell got shut out of the playoffs this year as well. meanwhile, the team he left actually had a better record this year without counsell
and again, make all the excuses about injuries and performance you like. ross dealt with those as well. also, isnt it the managers job to put the players in the best position for success? so, if you opining that counsell got less performance out of the same roster....welll....who does that fall on? Probably blame Ross for that too, dont you?! lol
It's actually pretty simple. This roster was worse this year because no Cy Young campaign from Steele, no MVP caliber campaign from Bellinger, and lots of role players got significantly worse (Gomes, Hendricks, Merriweather, Alzolay). Also, the playoff landscape was far more challenging this year. Beating the Atlanta Braves for a wild card spot is a bit different than beating the Miami Marlins.
Hell, the Arizona Diamondbacks were a significantly better team this year than last year. And are they in the playoffs? Don't see them in here...
