[@sportsfansports3353]

Payroll is a very good predictor of "making the playoffs" but not so great at predicting winning the World Series. The Dodgers are a great example. A really strong roster wins a lot of games across 162 games, but against another strong team in a short series (even a seven game series is a pretty small sample), there is a lot that can happen either way. Winning takes a great team, momentum, and some luck.

[@timotmon]

Yeah, the old Yankee formula of buying championships is no longer working. Even for them. They never stopped spending. It buys a playoff spot but like you said, but a world series ring is just an incredibly hard thing to manufacture.

[@Gemnist98]

@@timotmon There’s two ways to really go about it. With the Yankees, they’re obviously still buying the best players and expecting them to win, but they’re always at least a little strategic with it. For example, they needed a first baseman, so they buy Anthony Rizzo. Even if teams like the Angels are showing that you can’t only buy championships, doing so in certain ways is still working for the Yankees, and that’s why they still claimed the AL East. There’s just one problem: they’re not top of the AL. And it’s because the Astros are just doing more with less. Love them or hate them, the current Astros are the perfect evolution of the sabremetric system: minimal spending coupled with aggressive talent and a deep farm system, plus a few long-term talents like Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman for good measure and exposure. Meanwhile, the Yankees are so deadset on big contracts that they haven’t noticed the team falter in non-slugging hits (it’s absolutely hilarious that they failed to get a 3000 hit club member until AFTER the Astros did, and Craig Biggio only played with the NL Astros), OR realized that their bullpen is incredibly faulty. It’s why the Astros pummel them both in regular season record and the actual games (remember this year’s no-hitter?), and why if the Yankees win today, they don’t stand a chance (the Guardians actually might though). This brings us to the Dodgers, who really seem to be going for the perfect marriage of the two. There are a ton of big names and big contracts for them, but each seems calibrated to getting more wins. We can’t really know why they don’t go all the way. Dodgers fans seem keen on blaming Dave Roberts for not managing them properly, but I think a bigger problem is simply that the time of big superstars cruising the team to victory just doesn’t work in baseball as well as it used to. It works great in other sports: the Bulls and Cavaliers are nothing without Michael Jordan and LeBron James, and Tom Brady leaving the Patriots immediately caused them to suck. But the game of baseball has gone beyond that, and all teams need to accept that just like the Astros, Mariners, Braves, etc. did.

@@Gemnist98 I agree with most of this. I'm just going to nit pick one tiny detail because I live in Orange County about 40 min from Angels stadium. Arte Moreno's ultimate goal has never been about winning a championship. Winning one would have been a nice by-product but Arte is only interested in having marketable players to sell tickets and to increase the valuation of his "product". When he sells this team shortly, he'll have made a over a billion dollars. That's what this billboard sign marketer has ever cared about.. winning a WS? Yeah that would have been cool, he would have certainly liked it and would have certainly padded himself on the back.. he may even lied to himself, but it was never about that.

1) No matter the playoff format, upsets happen(even when there was only the World Series) 2) The more playoff rounds, the possibility a superior team can lose increases 3) I recall Billy Beane( Oakland's " Moneyball " guy) saying(paraphrase): " My S#!T doesn't work in the playoffs " LA, being into extreme analytics(analytics are the brother of " Moneyball "), may be learning this lesson. 4) Regular season success DOESN'T guarantee playoff success(ask the 1990s-mid2000s Atlanta Braves) 5)Sometimes you're just lucky or unlucky 6)The idea of being " clutch ", or " a gamer " may be in play

[@camicawber]

I don't know about the whole "clutch" or "gamer" thing. But the LA Times just ran a story that included a link to a study about pro sports playoffs. The gist of the study is that the best team in the NBA playoffs advances about 80 percent of the time, but that percentage is considerably lower in MLB, the NHL, and the NFL. In football it's because the playoffs are one-and-done. In the NHL it's because a hot goalie can have such a huge impact over a small sample of games. And in baseball it's because that's the sport that already has the smallest gap in winning percentage between the best teams and the worst. So the guys who wrote the study tried to figure out how many games each sport would play in a playoff round to match the NBA in having the better team win 80 percent of the time. I didn't read the whole study, but the conclusions were that the NFL would have to play best of 11, the NHL best of 51, and MLB best of 75 to reach a point where the better team advanced 80 percent of the time. And even after a best of 75, still about 1 of every 5 lower seeds would win. So while I, as a Giants fan, am thrilled to see Dodger tears...they didn't choke. They haven't been choking. The postseason really is a crap shoot. The Dodgers often come in well rested because they've clinched their division, and they end up playing a team that has been fighting to the end. Turns out this doesn't exhaust teams the way we might think - at least not in the first round. And there are worse things to be than the '90s Braves. Far worse things.

A couple of MVPs. 10 consecutive playoff appearances, 4 or 5 NL Pennants and ONLY ONE VERY VERY LONELY World Series in a season where they only played 60 reg season games, they expanded the playoff field to include over half the league, zero fans attended a single game and not a single playoff game was played in any teams home stadium.

This has to be one of the toughest seasons I've had as a Dodgers fan. To have 111 wins and come up short like this is just frustrating. Honestly, we need a complete change of perspective. It's clear that Dave's approach isn't working. This analytics mindset isn't going to win us a ring. This team keeps trying to plug and play new players into the system but fail to realize the system is the problem. Hell, we need to just suck for half the season and barely win 90 games to sneak into the playoffs off a hot second half. That seems the be the key to success lately lol. Our title is as legit as any other (if it wasn't, why did your team compete for it if it was "illegitimate"?), but I agree that we won't have full satisfaction until we win one in a 162 game season.

[@87Khein]

2020 is not as legit as any other title. It was 37 percent of a full season with neutral postseason sites and basically no fans. No one is suggesting that the Dodgers shouldn't have tried to win...but any team that won that year was not going to be viewed the same as all of the other World Series winners.

As a 50 year Dodger fan, I know a great season doesn't have to nessasarily end in a Championship. There was a lot to cheer for, we set a Franchise record and had the best National league record since 1909. 4 100 wins seasons in 6 years has never happened to this franchise and we got to see it. We lived through the McCrook ownership where he was so cheap our big off season move involved signing Jaime Carrol. He stole hundreds of millions from the franchise and we still managed to see the post season in some form. We lived through watching our real rivals win 3 World Series while we were in the late stages of a 32 year drought. Everybody says the regular season doesn't mean a thing, it's what you do in the playoffs that matter. I have read remarks from Padre fans calling the 2020 championship a Mickey Mouse Championship because it's was only 60 game season. Well as they have now witnessed finishing 23 games back didn't mean anything because it's what you do in the playoffs that matter. Well in 2020 we beat the shit out of everybody in the playoffs and took our ring. The same ring that has eluded them since they became a franchise. Keep your heads up high Dodger fans, you cheer for an elite team with a storied history that goes back 138 years. We don't retire a players number because they hit walkoff home run in the playoffs or a pitcher with a losing record because he won a Cy Young award that's Bush League expansion Team B.S.

It's not like the Dodgers were going to miss the postseason if they played 162, so what impact does that have on the playoffs?

I saw a national baseball analyst on TV who prior to starting the second round of the playoffs said the only team he saw no path to be able win their series was the Padres beating the Dodgers. He said it just cannot happen. This run by the Dodgers is very similar to the Braves of the 1990s. The post season even prior to when divisional play started in 1969 and they only went straight to the world series without playoffs unless there was a tie for first place, there have always been big hitters who struggle and mediocre hitters who excel during the pressure of post season. It just makes it a lot of fun not knowing what will happen until the games are played. Congrutlations to the Padres.
