The reason we really infuriate fans is because we play a different kind of baseball. Every single fan base says the same things... they got lucky because they got all these weak hits or bloops or took advantage of this play or that play. But that's part of the strategy since we put so many balls in play. Eventually some of them will go through or errors will happen, etc.
That thread is making fun of the Royals' advance scouting but they scouted the Blue Jays for almost two solid months before playing that series. Our scouts and base coaches are on top of everything. I'm sure they didn't follow the Mets that long, but our staff seems pretty sharp.
