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

The pool is filling up nicely. We're still missing some key players, though. C'mon guys, let's hear your picks

Thanks for doing this my friend…I love how squared away these excel sheets are
-
I'm glad to do it. It's my way of fighting dementia. It keeps my brain cells firing away...well, most of the time.
-
The spreadsheet is beautiful. I preferred my own spreadsheets over anything my accounting software would give me.

I've been making them for over 30 years...it's pretty much second nature now (except for when I can't remember the darned formula I want to use LOL).

Lol. I haven’t touched Excel since 2021. I wonder how much has slipped away in the 2 years away from it.

LOL. I'm still using 2016 - the version I got for $10 when I worked for LAPD (the year I retired). Heh - I just got a text from them asking me to help them with a new sheet because they are changing crime reporting systems and need to change the layout. I can't seem to shake them...I may have to change my phone number.

They’ll find you so don’t bother. Lol. Not an easy job no matter what you did for LAPD so thank you. One of my favorite shows when it was on was SouthLAnd. You can tell me how accurate it was. I heard it was very accurate it but I’m sure you would know better.

Hey I still try and take in a few episodes of Dragnet every now and then lol it’s entertaining on so many levels when you watch it
