You have your definition of a "winner", I have mine, let's leave it at that. I feel winners are those who consistently win, but also add championships on top of those wins. So, let's cover the last 10 years' worth of Dodger history, the recent 10 years (2013-2023) where the Dodgers finished in first place EVERY single year with exception…
You have your definition of a "winner", I have mine, let's leave it at that. I feel winners are those who consistently win, but also add championships on top of those wins. So, let's cover the last 10 years' worth of Dodger history, the recent 10 years (2013-2023) where the Dodgers finished in first place EVERY single year with exception to 2021, where they finished second. FIVE of those seasons they won more than 100 games. ALL of those seasons they won more than 90 games, except the 2020 season where they won a so-called world series in an abbreviated year, not sure how much that counts. In that ten-year span of 90+ or 100+ win years, they won the World Series ONCE! And that was the abbreviated season. Now I'm not saying the Dodgers should have won the World Series every year for that 10-year span, but after 10 years of 90+/100+ season records, all they can muster is ONE World Championship and that was not even a real championship because of the abbreviated season. Sorry, that's NOT A WINNER in my book. Now if you came to me and said, hey, ten years 90+/100+ wins in the regular season, perhaps five or six of those years they made it to the World Series and they won just THREE OR MAYBE FOUR of them. Then I'd say you have a winner. But to only win ONE and that's in the pandemic season. Sorry, that doesn't cut it for me. The regular season is meaningless without a solid post season, at least making it to the world series. And the Dodgers didn't do that. Ask any College football coach his definition of a winner, it will be the same. Good season winning majority of games and playing for either a conference championship or a national championship on a consistent year in/year-out basis, those are "winners". I don't regard a Chip Kelly (OG) going 10-2 and losing a bowl game for one season to be a winner (hypothetical of course as the Chipster (OG) never won more than 9 games at UCLA or anywhere else but Oregon). I thought Jim Mora was a loser as well and he had TWO 10-win seasons and played for a conference title in 2012, but could never win a big game or a conference championship. Sorry, he was AND IS a loser. Oh, and Jim is 1-8 this season with Connecticut... 1-8!!
I'm totally not surprised that you're in that group of fans who choose to disregard the Dodgers 2020 championship because it was played in a bubble. My opinion of those fans is simply that they have no appreciation of the game.
As any baseball player will tell you, the game between the lines was exactly the same as aways. The games were played at a neutral site with no fans. The playing field was level for all teams.
Your viewpoint is totally disrespectful towards the players of all the playoff teams. There was some exceptional baseball played in the bubble by the Dodgers. If you don't know baseball, you should not use it as an example.

He is a Kelly apologist.
Oh my goodness.
