Yeah thats what i was thinking too.
I guess it just SEEMS to me, anecdotally, that the last several years of playoffs have been decided by big homeruns and not stringing 2-3 hits together multiple times a game.
To me personally it just seems the front office has been behind on things. Especially hearing that comment about "low-hanging fruit" when speaking about adding a power bat.... its like there's a group of nerds that want to prove how smart they are and purposely go against the grain. Which in turn means they end up using outdated thinking/methods to be different.
Basically what im saying is they are TRYING to be the Rays, but failing and they've actually more closely resembled organizations like the Whitesox/Twins/Mets
