The philosophy of just get in is fine for fans, I get the hope and desire to see playoffs every year.
The problem is when management think that way and fail to make timely decisions like selling players at the deadline, promoting young players to the big team and giving them time to get going, making hard decisions with free agents.
Treliving was terrible at this.
Thankfully Conroy so far doesn't seem to be like that and the UFA situation will force them to make hard decisions anyway. They need to think long term and plan accordingly.
This year it's ok to cheer for the just get in and seeing some playoffs while also getting some smart moves from management with players that need to be moved.
As long as management doesn't get caught up managing like a homer fan, we are good.
