(13) Was Oakland Actually Mediocre, Snell for Cy and deGrom for MVP (Maybe), and the Villain of '78
Manage episode 218238214 series 2409903
The Oakland A's surprised everyone by winning 97 games with a relatively miniscule payroll, so is this Moneyball 2.0 - or a mirage? That leads Pesach Wolicki to a further discussion about the AL Central's role in making decent, mediocre, and even bad teams look like world beaters (with one obvious exception). The Baseball Rabbi also talks end of season awards, and Scott Kahn takes a final look back at the unsung villain of game 163 in 1978 - and no, it's not Mike Torrez.
