Useless Stat of the Day: Playoff Checks

Post by RonCo » Fri Aug 30, 2019 6:28 pm

Looking at StatsPlus, I noted that the 8 Geoghegan playoff teams have reaped $3-$4M apiece so far. That got me interested in how much money our teams have made in post season play. I happen to have that raw data for the past 12 seasons saved off from an earlier study...so I grabbed is and sorted most to least.

Interestingly, now that Valencia and Hawaii have made their marks the past couple seasons, we're down to four teams without...

Here's the list:
TeamPO Cash
LV$123,838,783
LOU$97,439,278
JAX$87,809,539
YS9$81,563,454
LBC$77,654,160
CAL$77,647,897
CLG$64,118,821
MTL$61,301,678
RCK$60,753,523
SFB$59,951,378
NO$48,411,369
ATC$45,870,937
HNT$39,699,653
EDM$33,495,508
SEA$32,670,394
CCJ$24,302,622
MEX$23,269,665
PHX$19,448,492
OMA$19,309,062
BRK$19,233,444
MAD$16,889,681
TWC$14,509,597
SA$13,434,903
VAN$12,771,409
VAL$4,097,224
HAW$3,383,343
BOI$0
DM$0
NSH$0
WIC$0
Not surprising, Vegas is at the top, but it's interesting that Louisville is in #2 despite not having made the gig for a half-decade. My Yellow Springs is 4th, without a Landis to show for it.

The maximum made in any one year was Las Vegas in 2038 when they got a $23.8M check, edging themselves in 2030 when they grabbed $22M. San Fernando made a run at it 2037 with $21.1M. As a general rule, though, the max pay out has been in the mid-to-high teens.

It's perhaps interesting to note, I suppose, that the best paying gig is to avoid the bye and play max games.

I tried to jump in front of that bullet for you, but you weren't having it at the time.

This is really the only reason I wanted to make it into the playoffs this year when I had the shot at the end. I mean aside from actually competing, but I didn't think I would go very far with my trash tier pitching staff. I just wanted the few millions to help pad the bonus funds a little.
