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.
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.

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”
Not if the Diamondbacks have anything to say about it.

Cool @fubar2k7_PSN and @samguenther1987. I’ll put the LCS chart together tomorrow. I’ll stick in placeholders if the Braves win tonight.
-
This is officially the least competitive postseason I’ve ever seen. There have been some very cool moments. Game 2 between the Braves and Phillies is a historic game. D’Backs with the 4 HRs in an inning was very cool. Otherwise we are only 2 games above the minimum to be played. Lots of blowouts. 6 sweeps out of 8, none have gone the distance. Bums me out. With no skin in the game, I just want to see good series. Braves are about to go down which means we will have no baseball Friday or Saturday. First world problems…I know, I just want more baseball.
-
The field be set
-
Also, I heard on the broadcast tonight that Castellanos is the first player in MLB Playoff history to have back to back multi-home run games…that left me scratching my head but as far as I can reach back in my minds eye I swear I can’t think of another example.
PS just found out this info came from Sarah Langs so you can put it in your pipe and smoke it - she’s the numbers gal without question and if she says it, then I believe it. Pretty incredible!

@BxnnyMxn__PSN surprised not to see you on here.
I kinda gave myself the role of “MLB Postseason Hype Man” this year huh lol I’m still here just in the shadows a bit. I’ve been a bit of a busier bee that usual here lately but I’m finding time to listen to the games. I find the first wild card round so anticlimactic bordering on depressive so I try and avoid it. Seriously all that heartache blood sweat and tears as the season wraps up only to be extinguished as quickly as a vapor in a couple of games. It hurts man. It hurts.
It’ll be Braves v. Astros or Phillies v. Astros.
I like the Braves in five but Phillies if she goes six or seven. I cannot help but feel like the high point will be the NLCS with whomever emerges victorious being so battle worn to the point of being disadvantageous during the WS.
Advantage AL but I’m going to predict it’ll be the Braves over the Astros in Five
You need to give me new picks...
-
I was going to do this tomorrow, but I got in a mode...here is a preview of the picks for the LCS so far. As they are posted, I will update the chart. The first game is on Sunday.
Edit: The chart has been moved to page 9 as the pool gathers the picks.
-
My pick is Phillies and Astros.
-
I got Phillies and Rangers

Go down exactly 9 more posts from the one you have quoted here (it’s page 6 on my app)and you should find my picks. I’m sticking to them as i believe I’m still gonna get it correct (even though 2 of my original picks are gone lol)
edit: it was a rather long winded post so I’ll save you the grief of having to re-read it all - I picked the Phillies over the Astros and I’m going to stick with it.
-
I’ll pick with my heart.
Philly beats DBacks in 5
Rangers beat Astros in 7 in the first amazing series of this postseason. -
Philly beat Dbacks easily after Gallen and Kelly have started games 1 and 2. Phils in 5
Rangers beat Astros in 7 in the best series this postseason. i can see this series go either way but i gotta go for my boys. hopefully we don’t drop another fly ball. (iykyk)
Rangers vs Phillies. Rangers swept season series 3-0. but that was the opening series so things have changed. the 2 hottest teams in baseball rn. phils have better pitching tho. i think this is where my boys amazing run ends. Phillies in 7
