How long do you want to ignore this user?
I hope the Mets pummel him.redline248 said:
I guess he doesn't feel like he contributed to earning any of the wins in which he pitched? What a dummy.
I hope he gets a permanent blister on his index finger that prevents him from pitching.

That seems to be a pretty common thought. Last week someone posted odds for winning the WS that showed Atlanta with better odds than LA. But why is that?The Dodgers finished with a better record by 10 games and beat the Braves in their season series by 4 games to 2.
Should we really be hoping the Astros face LA over Atlanta in the Series? That's not how I'm feeling now.
I believe that the Braves have slightly better odds because as it sits, their path is slightly easier.
Discussed briefly before, but the Dodgers side of the bracket includes a 101 win Mets team with DeGrom and Scherzer. The Mets also won the season series against the Dodgers, 4-3.
So, the Dodgers could be looking at an NLDS opponent much tougher than the Braves opponent in the NLDS.
Dodgers path to a World Series win could involve three 100+ win teams. Braves path could involve at most two, and the Astros can't face but one and that would be in the World Series.
The 111 win Dodgers have the potential to have the most difficult divisional series opponent in the playoffs.
Buck Compton said:True. As a whole they are the least educated professional sports players on a percentage basis due to the minors and draft rules. Doesn't make them all stupid, but there seem to be a lot more than other sports. I still remember that moron Blake Snell during COVID negotiations.Jet Black said:

Had a buddy that played in the braves organization way back when. He said Tom Glavine and some of the other guys on those 90's teams were some of the stupidest hicks he'd ever met.
Interesting that they broke out the 'Los Astros' jerseys, but not the special hats the team wore throughout the year. I did the opposite.spadilly said:

The City Connect was the only uniform worn more than once that had a loosing record.
I really wish they would bring back the orange billed caps with the gray unis, the all blue looks a little plain. The all orange for Saturday home games would be cool too.

Would rather face Seattle than Toronto. Won the season series v Seattle and don't want to face George in the postseason.
Do we ever need Good Framber to show up for ~6 starts? Postseason baseball is all about starting pitching.
Well good Framber showed up for 25 consecutive times this year, so, here's hoping?
Where are you seeing The Braves have better odds?
Was specifically referring to this, which was posted back on page 1325 or so…
Gotcha. Thought you meant gambling odds.
It's officially fall, ladies and gents. Postseason baseball is upon us!
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the new format works this year.

For the college baseball fans out there, "Super Regionals" starts in a couple of hours. Good thing the 'stros already made Omaha.
So we may not know game time for Tuesday until Sunday correct? After the WC series is complete
I think it's a safe bet to expect it to be an early afternoon game. Yankees will get the night slots.Ag_07 said:

Gig’em Aggies!
Looks like the TBS time slots are at 3:30pm and 8:30pm CT on Tuesday for game one of the ALDS and 3pm/8pm CT for game two.
I don't think they would put the Yankees on at 9pm local time. I think we actually might get the later slot.

Do we have projected starters for our series?
Does TBS do any of the MLB playoff games in 4K? I've got DirecTV which sucks for resolution but was hoping the native TBS app streams in 4K. Quick search didn't yield any definitive results.texasaggie2015 said:

Anyone going to game two and want to grab a drink or two before the game?
I actually had the same thought to compare the wild card round to the supers. Those three-game series have a ton of energy to them, and they're a lot of fun. We are in for a treat all weekend with this format. Can't wait!Farmer1906 said:

Going back a bit, I'd grab a nice glass of STFU if I were Joe Musgrove considering he is hoping to ride to a WS win at some point on a team with a dude who has now been popped for PEDs....gonna guess he won't be giving up any wins he has gotten due to a juiced-up Tatis HR.
Lame for Musgrove to use that as an excuse to justify why a WS ring with San Diego would mean more to him.
You mean it has nothing to do with the fact that he played virtually no role in actually getting the 2017 ring? I get that a WS ring with SD would mean more to him since he grew up in San Diego and is a major part of their rotation, but his reason is just stupid

What time can I watch his playoff game today?
Seem like the general consensus in the AL is we play Toranto and Jankees play Tampa with us beating the Jankees in the ALCS again. It also seems that the consensus is either the Braves or Dodgers come out of the NL
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

Were I him, I'd hope and pray that the hope of another WS title doesn't hinge on a start from him against the Astros....I think they've proven that they have a little extra juice when they're up against someone who has been mouthy.AggieJ2002 said:
