Even if do wind up mucky middle, the players (especially the young players) have spent an entire season being competitive.
They aren't toiling away knowing from game 50 onwards that they're dead meat. They have to show up and play their balls off... and still have something to play for with only 15 games left.
That's a good lesson, and a better environment to develop in than one where the veterans are going through the motions and it doesn't really matter what the coach says.
