Its hard enough for us to make the playoffs with the payroll disparities but beating out two well run organizations like that with their financial advantages is a tough ask.
If I didn't care I sure as heck wouldn't be on here. Losing to the Dodgers would have been fine since they and Atlanta are both far better teams but losing this series will make the season a failure. Its great if you can get excited about regualr season success but I would like to see this team win some in the postseason.
Regular season success just isn't enough anymore since we've had no playoff success at all since 2018. No wonder why Counsell is probably chomping at the bit to get out of town.
Might be a good idea to overhaul the entire hitting aparatus of this organization. The pitching lab has been great but we've produced squat offensively for years.
The season will end tomorrow and we can spend the offseason wondering if they are going to bring back Canha because el cheapo certainly isn't spending to get anyone better.
