I don't get baseball. So what's the formula to win? Just build a mediocre enough team to squeak in the playoffs and pray that players who have been bad all year turn into hall of fame superstars for a few weeks?
8 in a row. We couldn't even get to 2 in a row. Look at all those "diehard" royals fans.
Has anyone won 4 straight in an LCS since the '04 Sox?
You know what, SF? Every pro sports league has playoffs, and in the playoffs, what happened in the regular season does not matter, so unless you're advocating for the regular season wins leader to be the champion without a postseason, shut up and get your head out of your ass.
tigers have had a couple of sweeps since. The rockies also.
You know what - I'm not even saying this tongue-in-cheek - I can see where SF is coming from here. It's somewhat frustrating as Nats fans to see the team dominate the regular season and have these wild card teams totally blow them by.That said, the Royals just dominated two of the best teams in baseball en route to winning arguably the better of the two Leagues. Hard to really say that it's a fluke or that they're "mediocre" or anything. They're a good team that put it together at the right moment.
In most major soccer leagues there are no playoffs - best record over the season wins. Granted there are all sorts of elimination tournaments in addition to that, but the league championship is simply a matter of the best team over the entire season getting the trophy.
They were mediocre for 162 games, I'm mainly referring to their lineup.
16 games over .500 in the tougher of the two Leagues is "mediocre" now. Got it.
