I am wondering if Billy Beane gets a hard time from media/fans for the A's lack of play off success? One series win in the divisional round during his tenure isn't very impressive.
We as Reds fans ran Dusty out of town for failing to win a series in 6 years, I know it's in different roles but it seems like Beane gets a pass and is held in certain circles as a genius but Dusty is hailed as being of below average intelligence and a failure.
