After successful 111 video games within the common season, the Dodgers had some of the disappointing postseason performances in baseball historical past, dropping three straight video games to the Padres to lose the NLDS, 3-1, and head home a lot sooner than anticipated for an extended offseason.
For lots of followers (and a few gamers), the 111-win season is meaningless, ending because it did in such a spectacular failure.
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman doesn’t see if that manner, although, as Bill Plunkett reports within the Orange County Register.
“I can’t reside life, I can’t do what I do every day with there being one success every year and 29 failures. I simply can’t reside that manner,” he mentioned. “It doesn’t change the burning need to win a World Sequence yearly. However I feel it’s necessary for these of us who pour ourselves into it to have the ability to compartmentalize, respect sure successes, be taught from sure failures and determine methods to get again and put us in one of the best place to win a World Sequence the following yr.”
Friedman’s feedback are positive to ruffle some feathers, as such a realistic method won’t sit effectively with those that assume the group confirmed an absence of coronary heart and keenness within the NLDS loss. However realistically, from a front-office standpoint, the pragmatic method is one of the best one. When Friedman talks about “be taught(ing) from sure failures,” a type of issues they’ll have a look at is the failure to hit with runners in scoring place within the postseason, they usually’ll do their greatest to deal with that situation (if it may be addressed).
In the long run, you need your entrance workplace to be run pragmatically. Unhealthy information results in unhealthy conclusions, and letting emotion cloud your information gathering is a recipe for unhealthy information. It’s most likely good for Friedman to really feel the way in which he does, however that doesn’t imply it’s unsuitable for followers to really feel in a different way.
