Have they been on a bad playoff streak? You bet. But every season is new. Every team that makes the playoffs has a shot. History is in the past for a reason. We remember it, but doesn't define who we are or what we do going forward.
I guess the question is how you choose to look at his accomplishments/stats. If voters look at it as, 'of all the catchers that have ever played, where do his power numbers, All Star appearances, and gold gloves match up?
They've done this multiple times this season. Play great.... Play like garbage.... Then play great, then like garbage... Wildly inconsistent. This team could win the world series, or miss the post season altogether.
