The phenomenal achievements by some Major League baseball players this season didn’t get their teams too far.

Just take a look at Nelson Cruz who had 44 homeruns and a .302 batting average, Michael Medved pointed out to AM 770 KTTH’s David Boze.

“Look at all of these great, great achievements,” Medved said. “All the way down the line.”

But many of those teams with all-star players didn’t make the playoffs, or, if they did they didn’t make it too far. Example: the Yankees 3-0 loss to the Astros on Tuesday. The playoff teams, except perhaps the Dodgers, are all staffed by “no names,” Medved explained.

It’s the same way with football, Boze continued.

Maybe the Republican party should think about themselves as a sports team, then. Right now Donald Trump, who neither Medved nor Boze believes will survive the campaign trail much longer, is the star. He is responsible for an estimated 80 percent or more of the conversation so far in the 2016 race, according to the talk show hosts.

Medved said that Trump is the “equivalent of some kind of superstar with a great achievement, getting people into the stands. But it still doesn’t win the playoffs. It still doesn’t win the nomination.”
