nope - doesn't bother me one bitstormtime wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 09:50 amDoesn't it take the enjoyment out of it just knowing one team has unlimited resources and over $1B deferred into the '40's and the other one is basically on a small market budget? I long ago tired of the David vs Goliath story....except for the original of course. I just can't see it as a real sport until they fix this issue.dugoutrex wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 08:35 amtime will tell but there has been some (drat) good competitive baseball this post season!

Re: DODGERS!
Tough crowd. He has won a MVP with the Phillies. He has had some other seasons that were pretty good. He is on track to the Hall also.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 15:25 pmAgree he’s getting paid like he’s the man at 330 million and doesn’t play like it even during the regular season he only scored 100 or more runs once and driven in more than 90 just once with the PhilliesCusecards wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 11:42 amI’m not saying that he isn’t a very good player.
He clearly is and has been.
But....in my opinion he has not lived up to all the hype he has received from day one.
Hasn’t produced what he should in September and the playoffs.

Re: DODGERS!
Yep. And by "not consistent enough" I mean that he'll have a great WAR year and then an average one. He's had BWARs of 1.9, 1.2, 2 and 2.6 amongst good and great years. That just doesn't seem to make him a superstar.Cusecards wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 11:42 amI’m not saying that he isn’t a very good player.

Re: DODGERS!
Let the Dodgers win it all the next few seasons. Just brush away the upstart Brewers and their efficient investments. They can out-buy anybody.
Let there be clamor for increased revenue sharing. Salary floor and salary cap going into labor negotiations. If anything actually gets done there.
Currently:
I've enjoyed Tommy Edman having an impact on the NLCS. Good for him.

Re: DODGERS!
As a owner, POBOy, GM, and manager you would think the competitive part of your personality would get tired of your as* handed to you by Dodgers, Yanks, et al. Simply level the playing field for all teams. Owners & MLB execs know what needs to happen for level playing field, just takes the will to accomplish.

Yep, as much as I can't stand the Dodgers, them winning another WS this season and if they do win this season, F it, might as well hope they win it again next season, and hopefully that will be the self-fulfilling prophecy we need to end this madness.RunSup wrote: ↑17 Oct 2025 11:06 am Let the Dodgers win it all the next few seasons.

Re: DODGERS!
I hate the Brewers and it's exactly because of what they're doing right now. When there's no pressure in the regular season, they run the bases like madmen, play small ball, and oh yeah, they GET F'n LUCKY! I honestly don't know how they get lucky so often, but it has to have something to do with their aggressiveness.dugoutrex wrote: ↑17 Oct 2025 13:14 pmand ... we get to watch them brewers get a beat down to boot!blackinkbiz wrote: ↑17 Oct 2025 13:08 pmYep, as much as I can't stand the Dodgers, them winning another WS this season and if they do win this season, F it, might as well hope they win it again next season, and hopefully that will be the self-fulfilling prophecy we need to end this madness.RunSup wrote: ↑17 Oct 2025 11:06 am Let the Dodgers win it all the next few seasons.

Even with all of that, though, I honestly don't understand how you could enjoy this as a Dodgers fan. If you've got 4x the payroll of your opponent, at some point you have to look in the mirror and say, you know, this was fun at first, but are we actually the better team, or just the bought team?
Oh well, it's got to end after next season. It's just ludicrous at this point.
