The strategy the FO and Roberts use in the playoffs is broken and this team will continue to underwhelm in October.


Going to the World Series two years in a row is underwhelming? They went 7 games last year, it was a tossup series that they just fell short in.

Yeah but the moves that they made in that series that didn’t work out were replicated this year, because they’re all predicated on analytics with no adjustments made to compensate for who’s hot, who’s not, etc.

I'm not reading this whole thread, but Dave is getting too much blame. I think he (or the guys upstairs) made some missteps, but the fact is the players didn't execute and they were playing a better team. Too easy to scapegoat Roberts.

Absolutely not. Analytics should be used for 162 games and you should say frick off to the "hes hot" etc etc narrative


But in a limited game scenario in the playoffs, you have to look at other outside influences besides just data

Playoff series Don Mattingly won: 2
Playoff series Ned Colleti won: 3

Playoff Series won by Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts: 5

But it's this current regime that cant get it done in the playoffs

This and like 10 other things on our team. Analytics can't explain why Kershaw sucks in October. But anyone with a pair of eyes can see it. Playoff baseball is a different animal and what works in the regular season has to be adapted to what is happening in front of your face in October.

Analytics don't explain Dave's stubbornness at times though. He has an uncanny ability to stick to players that look like shite and leave or remove hot ones though. Analytics don't explain why he left Darvish on the mound to die in a Game 7, going to Madson not once, not twice, but three times, and giving Kike plate appearances over and over and over again when he looks like he belongs in the minors he's so lost at the plate.

Cora fricking schooled Roberts and my only hope is that we learned a lesson because we need big changes.
