Call it what you want, but the Dodgers have been the best team in baseball over the last 5-10 years. 9 straight years in the playoffs. Pretty sure they'll make it 10 and counting. I do get your arguments, but I don't get pointing to the Dodgers as a team that shows spending doesn't work.

Standard stats are not analytics.
-
As for football, nobody cares about analytics because they've always seemed like an intrinsic part of the game (since Tom Landry came along, at least). It is a war game, after all...
-
I'm not convinced. We have some old school-y fans who post here and they are well aware of analytics and generally don't care for their impact. And it was kind of a big story when Snell got yanked early in that WS game...
-
Dan is a champ at stating the obvious. But yeah, Sale's outlook is worrisome.
-
OK, that's fair. But I'm thinking that once they've made the decision to fork out and go to a game, they do notice certain things about the way the game itself is played and managed.
-
I have no problem with Will. My wife and I used to watch the Brinkley show with Will, Sam Donaldson and Cookie Roberts every week.
-
I get your point, but free agent players are going to continue to be overpriced from now until kingdom come. And if they do sign Devers to an extension, they'll probably have to "overpay" him too! But that may be a moot point because, according to Devers, they haven't talked to him about his future with the team at all...
-
Sale's injury certainly did nothing to get the front office excited about 2022...
-
It sounds like you might be more caught up than me.
-
The gripe being heard about basketball now is that it's become too much about the 3 point shot.
-
Well, they are banning the shift next year, right?
-
What do you think the casual fan cares about?
-
True, but I can't help being disappointed and bored. Especially when I think of all the guys we're losing after this year.
-
So your position is that the game was already going south and metrics just helped it on its way?
-
If the Red Sox do nothing more this offseason it is going to be a head-scratcher. Maybe the plan is to suck, and deal Bogey, JDM, Eovaldi, Kike and Vaz at the deadline.
-
I think there have been some adverse effects on the pleasure of the game. Cruising starting pitchers getting yanked after 50-60 pitches for a parade of relievers. Far fewer baseballs being put in play.
-
Still swimming in money though!
-
Dear lord, what is your new avatar?
-
Is that what you're reducing it to? They've won about 65% of their games the last 5 seasons, been in the NLCS 4 times, been in the WS 3 times. Isn't that the promised land you were talking about?
-
They had won the division 2 years in a row and added J. D. Martinez, so expectations were fairly high, I think.
-
You do realize that if the trade for JBJ is what prevented Bloom from signing those two, that would make him incompetent at his job?
-
Apples and oranges though. Everything went wrong in 2019. Can't see how that was DD's fault. It was virtually the same team that won 108 and the WS in 2018.
-
I said incredibly fortunate to make the playoffs.
-
The only thing I would add is that they have Berrios for a full season.
