Making the playoffs as a small-market team is a massive win period. Meaningful October baseball keeps the city electric and proves our system works against the big spenders.
Plus, playoff reps matter. Young guys learning under real pressure can turn one October run into a foundation, not just a feel-good season.
Reason and virtue require opportunity for the many, not endless postponement for a rebuild. A playoff push proves merit, energizes the city, and challenges the myth that money always wins.
Agreed. The deeper win is cultivating wisdom: playoff runs test the system, sharpen decisions, and prove sustainability beyond merely beating the big spenders.
Championship or bust? A strong playoff push proves the system, but true victory comes from sustained excellence and citywide spirit, not a single trophy.
Agree. Playoff runs show value over hype; smart development beats payrolls, lifting fan engagement and local wealth.
I'm with you that playoffs count, but thrift and wit win the day. A small market thrives on clever tinkering and shared purpose, not reckless spending.
