setelah skeptis habis habisan di belakang, saya coba nyari2 info tentang 2 orang ini yang kabarnya bakal terlibat di AC Milan

Hasilnya? masih skeptis atau malah pesimis


luke bornn ya seorang bisa dibilang praktisi di bidang analytic, dari sekian panjang CV nya ada 1 yang menarik perhatian ketika tau dia pernah jadi head of analytics di AS Roma season 16-17

musim itu AS Roma membeli M salah, alisson, rudiger, dan emerson (yg sekarang di west ham)


kita semua tau salah dan alisson dan rudiger jadi pemain world class sekarang, walau, ya bukan di roma karena keburu 'dipanen'

mudah mudahan sih ketakutan saya ga terjadi yaitu milan jadi klub ternak tapi indikasinya mengarah kesana



lalu satu lagi billy beane, ini sih buat yang ngikutin baseball MLB mungkin lebih tau ya, saya tau cuma dari film moneyball yang diperankan brad pitt

tapi intinya dia mengimplementasikan sistem baru dalam perekrutan pemain berdasarkan analisa data, harganya murah atau bahkan gratis dan gaji kecil

jadi dia pernah terapkan di tim Oakland A's dan memang sempat cukup sukses walau BUKAN jadi tim invincible gitu ya, cuma result yang didapat memang di atas ekspetasi

tapi itu sih duluuu...denger2 sih sekarang ya oakland A's gitu dehh

ini berita yang cukup baru tentang mereka

Oakland A’s Not Doing Enough

In 2022, true to form, the A’s traded away stars Matt Chapman, Matt Olson, Chris Bassitt, and Sean Manaea. Then, not true to form, they turned around and did nothing. Fans waited and waited but still nothing. Then they signed Jed Lowrie and Stephen Vogt, which is not quite Crisp and Cespedes. Some A’s fans are still waiting around for a competitive team to show up, but sadly many of them aren’t. And now there are accusations that Oakland ownership has pocketed revenue-sharing money instead of spending it on players. They have created a lose, lose, win situation: the team loses on the field, the fans lose, and the owner is able to turn a profit. There is bad baseball on the field and no fans in the seats.

While the fantasy of the big bad rich owner trying to take away the beloved team is a juicy story it is not necessarily the case here, at least not that we know of. Hopefully, time will fix the mess that is going on in Oakland and the A’s will stay in the place that they have called home since 1968. But one thing is for sure, we will know where another piece of the puzzle fits on June 30th. It’s not quite Major League, but it reeks of a conspiracy.

There are times, however, when negativity is needed. The Oakland Athletics have sunk to depths that require said negativity, because the futility is historic. The way things are shaping up, the A's aren't simply the worst team in baseball. They are legitimately one of the worst teams in baseball history. Let's take a look at some of the teams previously considered among the worst ever, keeping in mind the A's are 11-45 right now.

- The 2003 Tigers finished 43-119. They were 16-40 at this point in the season.

- The 2018 Orioles went 47-115. At this point in the season, they were 17-39.

- The 1916 Philadelphia A's have the franchise record with 117 losses (they won 36). Through 56 games, they were 16-39-1.

- The 1935 Boston Braves were 38-115. At this point in the season, they were 17-39.
Long held up as the "gold" standard in futility, the expansion Mets in 1962 went 40-120-1. Through 56 games, they were 16-40.

Generally regarded as the worst team in baseball history, if we stretch all the way back to the 19th century, the 1899 Cleveland Spiders were 20-134. Through 56 games they were 10-46.
That's the entire list of teams that lost at least 115 games in a season and the A's most resemble the 1899 Spiders right now.

Remember when the 1988 Orioles started the season 0-21? By the time they'd played 56, they were 14-42. They spotted everyone a 21-game losing streak and they were still in better shape than these A's currently are.

If we look at just the first 56 games of the season, the A's are one of 23 to have lost more than 40. The only teams to have lost at least 44 were the aforementioned Spiders, the 1904 Washington Senators and the 1932 Boston Red Sox. Oh, and the 2023 A's. That's it.

We could probably keep going, but I think everyone gets it. There's no hyperbole in saying the current A's might be the worst baseball team in modern history.



yang digaris itu pemisah ya, beda berita

berita atas indikasi owner ngantongin duit (bukan dibeliin pemain)

yang di bawah tim oakland prestasinya lagi ancur2an
