re: Are the 2021 Dodgers the biggest underachievers ever?

So the Dodgers were favored to win the World Series all year, had the highest payroll by far, and made an in-season acquisition of two all stars, yet they're not considered underachievers for failing to win the division and make the World Series. But somehow the Giants, a team with a 1% chance to win the NL West at the beginning of year, are underachievers for winning the division and not making the World Series. Seems arse backwards to me.

Yep, that's pretty much it right there.

And I'm still pissed about the check swing call. Sure, maybe he would have gotten out some other way but they should have never made that call.

I saw check swings in the Braves/Dodgers series that were clearly swings, didn't hold up and they were no-calls.
