2020 World Series Champions

 It happened and it was beautiful.  It took 32 years to get back to the top of the mountain but it is sweeter than ever.

There are a lot of people piling on Kevin Cash for pulling Blake Snell.  The best defense was that Snell was used that way all season and it got them to the World Series.  OK that is one way to look at it but the rest of the world was correct.  It was a truly mysterious choice.

Snell was 5 1/3 into his start.  He threw 73 pitches.  He struck out 9.  He allowed zero runs.  The line shows one earned run but Anderson let that happen.  Austin Barnes hit a single and Snell was about to face Betts, Seager, and Turner.  Those are some fierce hitters but up to that point they were 0 for 6 with 6 strikeouts.  

Why don't they fire Kevin Cash and use an app to manage The Rays.  

The thing that is tiresome about all this talk is that it doesn't give The Dodgers credit for being great.  The bottom line is that The Rays scored only one run.  Snell never pitched into the 7th inning all season.  Did anybody really think he was about to pitch a complete game shut out against a team that had not been shut out all season?

Nope

Let's stop talking about Kevin Cash filling his diaper on the big stage and talk about the best team in baseball.

This isn't some fluke that snuck in in a 60 game season.  They played under the same rules and guidelines as all 30 teams.  They had the best record in all of baseball because they were the best team.  That is why the Los Angeles Dodgers are the 2020 World Series Champions.

It IS sweeter than ever
