Our 2015 team didn't even win its division or a post-season game. There is no way the rosters compared favorably to the teams that went beyond it. No way.
That's not to say it was a bad team. It just didn't stack up. It went as far as it could have gone. Bats were stymied by one dominant pitcher, true. But, the rest of the Cubs team took us to task, too.
The Bucs needed Pedro to be as good as Kris Byrant. That would have helped the team a lot.
Agree. It cost the team some time and resources.
However good our roster was, and it was good, it wasn't even the best in the division or we would have won it. The Cards (roster) were/was just good enough to hold us off. It just goes to show how tough some seasons are.
