It's a little funny the early day game is on ABC while the rest of the slate is on ESPN(s).

That's the programming ABC can afford to give up, the rest is too valuable.
I guess we're lucky the game's not at 9:00am to replace The View...
Honestly, I might prefer it for this first series so my stomach is fine the rest of the day.

I wonder if the Dodgers will fire their manager if they fall flat yet again in the postseason?

if you've never been to a playoff game then today is your day if you like deals. $8 gets you in the door today on stubhub. Heck field boxes running $30

Tickpick has a ton of 400 level seats under $25 for today. Their prices include all fees so what you see is what you pay unlike most of the others. They even have some club level seats for $50.

Most wide open postseason in a long time. I don't see a rematch happening.

Will probably be Baltimore-Milwaukee instead.

I'm all for keeping up with world events, but if the game coverage is interrupted by "breaking news" from the Middle East and it doesn't involve something happening on US soil, I'm going to be very displeased. There's 10 news networks we can watch to keep us informed, but only one network with broadcast rights to the game.

They may have just dropped the old lineup.

Sale is not on the Braves WC roster. So much for the strategy talk from yesterday.

I get that in this day and age everyone wants answers and everyone wants the scoop ASAP but why is he digging this up right now?

We have more important things to worry about right now. Chandler just needs to STFU and let this dog lie until at least during the offseason.

Reminds me of the Taubman shlt from way back when but this is even more irrelevant.

Might be getting a root canal during the game today. If we win I will do what it takes and schedule out 12 of them to push us over the top.

Haven't seen a lineup like this in awhile. Meadows usually leads off or bats 9 depending on the split. Malloy batting second is new. Ibanez lead off Thursday and Friday against LHP; now 4th.


Hinch doing Hinch things. But it has been good enough these last 6 weeks for the tigers.

One hour until game time gentlemen! Remember to enjoy these playoff games and runs because they won't be here forever.

Now BTHO Hinch and the tigres

Another nice Detroit/Houston angle - Ty Madden, former 1st round pick and longhorn grew up worshipping the Astros and helped Detroit make the final push to the playoffs. Not sure if he made playoff roster for this series.

If Yordan is limited running you'd rather him drive in Altuve and Tucker than clogging up the base paths. Of course there's a way he can take a nice jog around the bases too.

He did! I don't expect many innings from him unless things go awry. Optimistic for him in the future, but I think the even more green call up Jobe would be called upon before Madden imo. But there are ~5-6 guys even before those two.


That said, Hinch has admitted the pitching plan after Skubal will be "chaos". So who knows.

Because it's when people are most likely to read it. They most likely aren't going to read it in December.

I bet the plan is to get Cole hot in the pin, only to pitch Will Harris

I feel about the same as I did last year.

Knocked out in WC round: Season Failure
Knocked out in DS round: Disappointed, but ok
Knocked out in CS round: Another great season and I'll take 8 in a row!
WS+: Gravy


I'm almost the same - except if we landed just one series short of the all time record for consecutive LS appearances I'm going to be a LOT disappointed.

Will be following online at work with no alcohol. Rough viewing conditions but we all make sacrifices.

LFG.
