They've been off before, but TBS shows first game at 3 on Monday

Lines up the mlb schedule. Just looked it up and they show the Alds starts October 5 and the nlds the 6th. Minimum 2 days off seems strange.
All about TV, Not wanting to compete with football on the weekends. Monday the next available day to start where you can stagger the two leagues and keep them just a day apart.

Right. But as someone posted above, I could have swore I heard them making a big deal about no off days, including between series.

STL jumping on the Padres and Chris Paddock. 3-0 top of the first.

ALDS - Monday thru Friday (no days off)
1 day off between series unless it finishes early
ALCS - Sunday thru Saturday (no days off)

Better be careful. That sounds awfully close to a hate crime.

Kind of impressed with this team.

Obviously the offense is still MIA but they stuck to it and grinded out two wins. Dug down and found a way to get it done.

Not pretty but I'll be damned they did it.

The pitching was awesome.

Going to need more office for the LDS, but as long as we get good starting pitching, it will be interesting.

Incredible pitching all around. And Greinke/Urquidy threw less than 80 pitches each. So they could go game 1 and 2 of the LDS this weekend

Also nice to have a day off tomorrow

Bob Melvin just let his closer pitch almost 30 pitches in the top of the 8th before a decisive game 3...

I'm claiming this series. I sat at a podium in a freaking empty room teaching a zoom class with the play by play on my phone both days. Never watched a play. I could have streamed it today and didn't. Not after yesterday.
You are welcome.


You are a man amongst men. We are grateful.
You are also vanquished to the classroom until the last out of the last game. Again, we are thankful.

That was a complete postseason over management. Hendricks pitch 50! pitches in a game they were up 5-0.

Now, who know if he'll be available tomorrow. Wild decision making.

I want to face the A's.

Really wish they were selling NLDS tickets too so that there could be some attendance for the games in Houston. Been missing live baseball. I might buy a couple WS games and make it up to Arlington for the weekend. If the Astros make it then that'll be real fun.

I miss Cy Keuchel. He was absolutely the Yankee's daddy in 2015.
