Another MLB season full of surprises. Scoring took an u-turn and fell. A number of preseason Contenders started slow and a few never recovered.

3 main facts that stick out to me

2014 the last regular season without a 100-win club

2007 the last time the previous World Series participants both missed the Playoffs

121 the new MLB record for losses in a season, courtesy of dearest Chicago White Sox


So here we are the 3rd Postseason with expanded format. Playoffs start today. Play ball! :huddle:

Predictions:

AL:
Astros over Tigers in 2
Orioles over Royals in 3

Astros over Guardians in 5
Yankees over Orioles in 4

Astros over Yankees in 6

NL:

Mets over Brewers in 3
Padres over Braves in 3

Mets over Phillies in 4
Dodgers over Padres in 5

Dodgers over Mets in 7

WS:

Astros over Dodgers in 6
Not sure Braves push it to 3. I envisioned a wild series with the Home team prevailing but now Sale, Lopez and even Fried unavailable til maybe the 2nd game, at best? :lol All these years Braves fans complained about not being on prime time and now it is, like this. And I'm not sure I'll be able to watch much because of the time difference. Of all the years I tell you!

For the 3rd straight postseason the Phillies enter fully healthy & rested. They've played 4 Wild Card games the past 2 seasons

2022 Game1: Wheeler
2022 Game 2: Nola
2023 Game1: Wheeler
2023 Game 2: Nola

Guess who are starting the first 2 games of the NLDS. If Phillies can't finally break thru, in this parity filled season then this core never will.


I like the Mets out of the WC too. First time in a decade they are finishing the season with MOJO but ultimately they aren't that talented

Should be Philly vs SD NLCS rematch from a couple years ago. I'm taking Padres but I am also bias.


American League seems unbalanced. Orioles & Yankees on the same bracket side. Indians small ball won't ultimately work big picture in the Postseason. Yah I like Houston to make the ALCS too. Sorry Cleveland but don't want to see you in that Round, getting bodied


Could it really be Yankees vs Padres?

[Robz4000]

Didn't see Detroit scoring three runs this series, much less in one inning tbh.

Idk, the offense was trash outside the early hits on their rookie starter. They were no-hit by their bullpen until the Higashioka HR. The team's offense has been an issue the past month tbh.

[FrostKing]

Guten morgen. Looks like my friends had Alot of fun at the game. Up early and then cruise control.

AJ Smith-Shawver had subpar Minor League season. High K's but also high number of HRs given up. Maybe in hindsight they should have went with Anderson. But ultimately the Offense was 0-5 with RISP so probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Looks like the Padres crowd was great. All these years Braves complained bout getting shafted with Playoff games during work hours, so enjoy this :lol

[FrostKing]

By the way - advertisements on helmets. Bad look.

Your lukewarm response is correct but this looks like a NLCS Padres team. More balanced roster than what the Braves/Dodgers will have avaliable in the next 10 days.

I'm guessing close Game2 with the ATL pen losing late.

Not so fast! Padres advance to face LAD.

Momentum switched with the Musgrove injury. Valiant fight from the Braves. No one wanted to see anymore of this spirited but inferior bunch continue to play in prime time. Onto 2025.

Mets have been feeling like the team of destiny for a few months now tbh.

[FrostKing]

Poor Milwaukee. They will never get over the hump. I think battled Dodgers in NLCS in the late 2010s.

Phillies bats need to come out rusty from the layoff. Still not sure Mets have the pitching. In comparison the Philly teams that upset coming out the Wild Card the past 2-seasons I think were a level above in basically all facets

In 2022, the 3rd Place Phillies upset their Division winner in the NLDS. Now the Mets have the chance to do the same, to them.

If there is a baseball God, he needs to karma the always healthy & always rested Phillies.

[MultiTroll]

:lol Machada such an easy out when he is trying to be glory hound.

Zero situational awareness.

Cease with 3-0 lead chokes off an 0-2 count to the leadoff batter.
Veteran Padre lEaDeRs.

Called this yesterday:
Shildt trys pitching to Babe Ohtahni with 2 outs and a base open. Cry me a river that Betts is on deck.
Currently you take Betts over Ohtani 10/10

Boom 3-3

[Robz4000]

Shildt bout to manage the Padres to a sweep tbh. Dude has zero awareness.

[FrostKing]

Watching highlights. Jackson error in CF. Damn. Kid shouldn't be in that position.

Impressive win by the Dodgers. They came out do or die. Padres are fine. Win the 2nd game and return home.

[FrostKing]

Phillies smashing HR the 1st batter of the game and then entertaing that Philadelphia home crowd with 8 consecutive cuck innings... couldn't write it any better way
Always healthy. Always rested.

Mets have the MOJO. Haven't seen this at Shea since Piazza.

Hopefully Bogaerts isn't lost for the series. His bat has finally started heating up.

I believe Padres are the 1st MLB in history to crank 6HRs on the road in the Postseason

[FrostKing]

The bye teams have not won a series in a while.

No rest is better then rust?

[FrostKing]

The bye teams have not won a series in a while.

No rest is better then rust?
There are 2 types of Wild Card teams

A) Too far behind in the Division and even unbothered with seeding. Resting all their arms heading into October.

B) Qualifying for postseason in the final regular season series


Theoretically if you are Team B and run into a Bye team in the World Series then your top starters/relievers likely made 2+ more appearances than your counterpart in a relatively short window of time.

But that's assuming you are facing a Bye team and like your OP stated: that's been rare. The WS stage is when the Wild Card teams seem to run outta steam.


I don't like this new setup. Atleast make the Division Series 7-games so a rusty Bye team can comeback. The longer the series the more rust comes off and stamina becomes a factor.

[FrostKing]

I'll have to dive into the stats but something I noticed in the Braves series and it might have become a theme

Padres are feasting on Starters and struggling against the pen. I also would prefer consistent low scoring versus huge 1 inning rallies.

But I still like the Padres to take a monumental Game5. LAD bats probably cool off again.

Manny Fatchada back to trying to pull everything.
Makes for easy outs. Whiffs badly or hits chinky little grounders.
Unfortunately his *leadership* and immaturity tends to rub off on some other Padres.

Here's hoping Yu Darvish can pull off another beauty. I think it will be required.

Sorry brotha. You were spot on with what you warned about, even before the series.

This is one hell of a back and forth rivalry. Shame it hasn't been played over 7-games, yet. Padres have as good of a chance as anyone else in the coming seasons and this format has become so unpredictable. Better days ahead :bobo

Padres have completely depleted their farm system. They have an 18 year old SS prospect and 19 year old catcher that will eventually make the big leagues, but other than that they're barren. All the more reason to unload these vets now while they hold value tbh.

Arguably polar opposites.

I believe in this Padres clubhouse. Need more pitching though. With Joe out. Classically to win the NL you need pitching

Dodgers have no starting pitching, and the Yankees are loaded. While they won’t have to worry about Kershaw blowing 1-2 games, you still have to factor in Dave Roberts always choking in the World Series. I despise the Yankees but I think they win in 6.

No one on the Yankees besides Soto I think has a ring. I think he might be gone to the Mets. But it’s not really that surprising. Judge never shows up in the playoffs. Ever. They were not winning this series anyway.

Soto is better than any player the Astros have had. Judge hits 55 Home runs in the regular season and has piss running down his legs in the post season. There’s no question about this choke job. The Yankees can and have bought any player they want with the major advantage of playing in New York and haven’t won shit for 15 years. There is no comparison.

The 99 playoffs were at least played normally. The 2020 MLB and NBA playoffs were played without fans at neutral sites.

did this benefit the champion in some way that the non champions did not benefit?

Sure as hell helped the one team that routinely choked when the lights were bright tbh.

so your answer is no, it did not, because all teams participating had equal circumstances. thanks for playing.

Dodgers were down 1-3 to inexperienced Braves team in the NLCS. Down midway thru Game7 too

I loved those Back2Back NLCS battles

Splice and dice however you want but every team had the same chance tbh.

That "Mickey Mouse Ring" still means way more than a bunch of fucking cheaters listening to some fat fuck bang a trash can in the clubhouse :lol

I can’t believe idiots actually believe the trash can story. That was a cover. What the Astros were ACTUALLY doing has never been told. Either way, fuck it.

That shit was won in a full season where the Dodgers set up cameras THEMSELVES in Minute Maid Park with their employee wearing an MLB uniform and got busted. The game is the game.

[FrostKing]

I recognize trash can & mickey

Baseball is so difficult. Astros & Dodgers are the 2 most successful franchises over the past 8 seasons. They deserve it.

It's true. NBA the best team plays their best ball til the end. MLB is grueling and your best players are usually not the difference makers, it's a team effort.

I don’t think you are understanding what I’m saying. The true extent of it was more than just trash cans. Stealing signs was ALWAYS a part of the game and wasn’t what the MLB had issues with. (80’s White Sox were stealing signs by camera and relating it through the scoreboard) It was cameras. But anyway like I said. Only losers whine about that shit. That’s why MFs on the Red Sox STFU about it because they were doing similar shit. Yankees AND Dodgers too.

Exactly. It’s also a smaller sample size in the playoffs. A lot smaller.

So which one is it?

Or, is your argument that what the Asstros did was far WORSE than spying on signals with video equipment/banging on trash cans? Because yeah, I agree. Altuve was definitely wearing a buzzing buttplug.

I’m saying what they did was far better than anyone else and in the end doesn’t matter because the other team knew and couldn’t stop shit.

-2nd all time in HRs (needs 3 to surpass Manny for #1)
-2nd all time runs scored

fourth in hits (113), extra-base hits (46) and total bases (211); fifth in doubles (20) and tied for seventh in RBIs (54).

Does it hurt?

but but but I thought Juan Soto is better than anyone the astros have ever had, which is why the Yankees had the biggest chokejob ever?

sounds to me that if the Astros have supposedly the greatest playoff player ever, yet has the two biggest chokejobs in WS history, then something isn't adding up

If we’re talking about biggest choke jobs in the WS, that belongs to the rangers who were one strike away. Twice. You lose yet again.

rangers lost to superior baseball teams. not teams they were 7 and 14 games better than and were favored to sweep or at worst 4-1 both series after tanking for a decade to stockpile talent and cheating at the same time :lmao :lmao :lmao

Being the superior team is not why the Rangers lost. They lost because Nelson Cruz’s fat lard ass couldn’t make a routine catch. Now that’s a choke. ONE STRIKE

I don't think he's offensively in the range of Manny Ramirez but what a leader. HOF I think
