I was kicking around the idea of making this a poll, but it feels like I would leave out some teams. To me this feels like a blend of 92 and 2000. Lots of home grown talent making a huge impact, pitching was surprisingly doing their part in a solid not spectacular way outside of a few great performances. But much like the 2000 team they are currently taking it to the better competition in the league.

It’s fun to muse about this stuff again. Curious as to what anyone else thinks

I was gonna say 2000

I am thinking 1990, good young position players, good bullpen, not enough starting pitching, 2nd year manager.

That team started way better, but from a team build perspective it is definitely similar to this year. Weirdly enough I think that team solidified itself as for real around mid June when they had to play Cleveland and the Yankees for 4 straight series and they came out of that stretch with a 11-3 record. Kind of similar to this gauntlet we're going through now. We're half way through it and we're 4-2. Hopefully we can finish strong and mirror that 2000 team.

1990

Definitely the 2000 Kids Can Play plus a few teams from the GO GO years who didn’t have the power but just won a lot of games.
