Seager has 54 HR in 145 games at globe life field lol.
ALDS Yordan card will basically be babe ruth
-
We were having a semi-conversation on the current format a bit ago (I think it was this thread), and I just realized there is no way for the bye teams to win the series at home unless it goes 5 games. That's kind of sad because they are (supposedly) the better teams.

Seager just hit a 450 footer
It was his Core collection card for sure.
Speaking of which... WHERE IS THE NEXT CORE COLLECTION CARD?
P.S. No, I am never dropping this.

Crud - I haven't even finished the CORE collection we have now

Once again the Diamondbacks are up by 4 on the Dodgers in the 4th.

Looking interesting here in the 8th….
Ginkel just faced Betts, Freeman, AND JD Martinez in the 8th with the Dodger season on the line and Kolten Wong standing on first…zero outs…he fanned the first two and Martinez pops out so now the Dodgers are down to their last three outs.
-
And the Dodgers have been swept away. Wow Arizona just wow
-
I knew the Dodgers would choke in the postseason, but I didn't think it would happen until the World Series. Man.
I've updated the chart and moved it to page 8. We have a leaderboard now...contest left.
-
Wow Dodgers. Won as many playoff games as the Padres anyways.
-
Betts & Freeman 1 for 21….can’t win like that! What a job by the Dbacks this post season. They’re definitely HOT!
If/when the Braves fall that’ll be all 3 100x win teams this year doing the old playoff crash and boin
-
The chart has been moved to page 8 for quicker reference.

Arizona has grabbed the lead early tonight…they sure are playing some good ball!
Guess the Dodgers didn’t learn how to keep from getting colder than Antartica during their week off.
It is very frustrating, especially for the players...the FO has to do better. Being regular season warriors every year is not going to cut it. At least put up a fight in the post-season.
They should’ve been able to prepare for the time off this time. No excuses. Walk through games aren’t good enough.
Excellent point about them not being prepared. What do you do though?... The five day layoff or so, before the DS, seems to have a greater negative impact than I thought. The O's and Braves' bats have looked sluggish too.

I don't think that applies here, Texas was the top al team for awhile and even after there late season slide was still a top 5 offense and they were going against a team of young players in their first postseason.
The dodgers have a history of not doing good in the playoffs and it's a division rivalry
Same for the braves and Phillies, after June 3rd Phillies had the second best record in the NL (maybe MLB) Phil's and braves live beating up on each other and the Phils are just as much a powerhouse as the braves are,not to mention that in CBP history the Phils are 25-11 at home and last year didn't lose a home game until the WS.playoff games and series are a world different than regular season games, the teams that know that and are built for it- won. the Astros don't seem to have trouble with the days off,last year or this.

Ok, I do not disagree, but then what do you do if you are the FO? Give free agents, or draft prospects, a Mamba Mentality exam? I remember Freddy and Betts being pretty good in the Post Season for the Sox and Braves... I get the divisional opponent factor, but "not being built for the Post-Season" seems a bit obscure.

Not being built for it is an imperfect fit.
a better description might be: the 100 win team teams are built to dominate the marathon, the teams that won have pieces that can thrive in short series and that makes them a closer matchup than the regular season record would indicate.
Not to say the 100 win teams aren't good,in fact the phils braves and Astros seem to built for both, maybe it isn't as much of an upset as ppl seem to think,maybe the season champions underestimate them a bit and that leaves an opening to be ambushed( Astros don't seem to have this problem)..... -
It’s all playing out so beautifully….I love me some playoffs! WS rematch in the making? As Bugs Bunny would say…”meeeeeh….(crunch crunch crunch) it’s a possibility”

It is what it is until MLB expands post season by 2 more teams. I’m sure they don’t like having the teams with bye rounds getting bounced at such a high rate. Last year 2 of 4 got bounced. This year it’s 2 of 3 and looking like it’ll be 3 of 4.

I am not sure the MLB cares as much about that as they care about large market teams making it to the WS.
If, for example, the Yankees and Dodgers each were wildcard teams I could almost guarantee that MLB would want those two teams to advance to the WS before two Division winners from smaller markets.

Considering they wanted 8 playoff teams and only got 6 teams having the 4 best teams in the league constantly bounced can’t be something the league wants. Seems like something they can use to get what they wanted. Manfred did get what he wanted with pitch clocks and banned shifts after all.
Edited that to make more sense.

Not if the Diamondbacks have anything to say about it.
