GG!
My call on Braves being done for the season after Acuna went down has not aged well, tbh.

Acquired an entire new Outfield. Alex will win Executive of the Year
There was a 5-game series (finished 1 postponed game) against the Mets in late July where if the Braves underperformed the team would have been sellers at the deadline. Instead won 3 outta 5 and the rest is right now not concluded history!
Second straight year the Braves season was tinkering late and some considered packing it in for "next year". Instead we return to the NLCS
"Morton is 1st pitcher in MLB History to start clinching game for 4 different teams"
Great ing post-season so far! Sox/Rays was a thriller, and Brewers/Braves was a stomach churner.
Hope my boys can close out the Giants, but I'm eternally of little faith.
Hey, buddy. Back after a long hiatus. Time just flew by this year it seemed and I realized it's been months since I logged on. Lol.
Great in series win! I really dislike the Rays and that cheap of an owner who refuses to pay players. The end result of Sternberg's penny-pinching is a crappy baseball product that has to resort to gimmicks like a clown car of never ending relievers. Then there's their "fans" that won't be bothered to cross a bridge to support their team in person. Props to your boys for saving us to have endure watching another game (or World Series run) at the Trop.
I've always felt ground rule doubles that clear the outfield fence on a bounce should be triples. Just makes more sense.
That said, no sympathy for the Rays. That franchise sells itself as a "scrappy small market underdog" in the vein of the Spurs, but the reality is Sternberg is an tightass bas who won't spend a dime on the team. Then you have a fairweather fanbase that won't show up to support the team because they fear bridges and a bit of traffic. And who the would want to watch a World Series run play out at the Trop?
On a side note, Blue Jays gonna be scary when they get pitching. Vlad is generational.

In the NLCS I rather defeat LAD - defending champ, revenge and we will continue running into them in October
Giants is the bragging rights over franchise we don't have much history with
But I think LAD are more difficult path and they would win a 7game series against Gaints. Tomorrow I think Webb is too much for them.
Good tactical move in theory, but Knebel is unfamiliar with opening in this context, so I fear this could backfire.
Wow I thought that was a triple for sure.
Is it possible that both lose?
Dodgers calculated gamble paying off. Homefield (final at bat) is such an advantage in such winner take all matchups
Mookie is an absolute beast. Dumb s Red Sox letting such a generational player walk is insane. Good game Giants. This is over.
That's RUF
Giants have the last at bat and just showed they will counter strike
Pitching to Betts is a futile endeavour. lol
If the Dodgers dont win this with that kind of performance...
This home plate ump can go f himself.
Screwed the Giants on 4 key pitches i have seen.
Altered at bat big time.
Literally burned Bryant out of a none out guy on 1b walk.
Dodger ref comes thru at the most crucial moment
Ending a team’s season on a checkswing that’s terrible
But it’s the Giants so whatever, screw em.
Dodgers vs Braves rematch
Last year was 7games and tied into the 6th inning
Imagine winning 100+ games on both sides of the league and getting bounced on the first round because of a short series that really can go either way.
They need to change that to a full best of 7 if they're going to stick with the expanded wild card spots.
