2017-2026......and beyond?

[craigharmann]

I was just crunching some numbers and I guess I just hadn't realized it but not counting 2020, between 2017 until this year, we've went 837-622. Counting 2020, it's 866 wins. Dodgers, Astros and Yankees are ahead in wins in that time. However, for the Astros (because I live in Houston), it was lots of wins between 2017-2022 and not as many over the last 3. We've been one of the most consistent teams in baseball over the past 10 years. And here's the best part. We're just getting started. We've got a young core that's growing together, a lot of bullets in the pipeline and financially speaking, things have been managed extremely well. The Dodgers and Yankees spend, spend, spend, the Dodgers are old and the Yankees are going to take a major step back, I believe. The Astros are going to be rebuilding. That leaves us in such an absolutely great place. I'm ecstatic and can't wait for the work stoppage to be over with and baseball to resume.....whenever. Until then, I'll be reveling in this win.

The bites of the apple finally paid off.

I looked back in history at other teams with similar sustained success/postseason appearances (not as frequent as you may think). All of them eventually won a World Series except the current Yankees run has yet to pay off despite similar yearly postseason appearances for an extended period of time.
