I'm going to throw up if we have an Astros Yankees ALCS

Not me. I want the Astros

The A’s and Twins can always be counted on to come up short in the playoffs.

Looks like the Dodgers had a nice win. Cool. Last I remember it was the 5th inning and they were down 1-0. At least tonight’s game starts 40 minutes earlier! Yippee! I might make it to the 6th inning this time.

Meanwhile the Astros and As got that 3:30 time slot. SMH. And of course the Yankees get that 7 o’clock slot every time. No offense NY fans, but I hope Tampa bounces you, so that time slot is up for grabs next round.

I would kill for an afternoon Yankee game.

I would kill for an afternoon Yankee game.

I would kill for a Dodger game that I could watch the end of without sabotaging my health and productivity for the rest of the week.

 

[Newhouser]

The Padres starting pitcher looked like a kid who forgot to take his ADD medicine. I know it's how he rolls but that has to be tough on the hitter.

Agree. We're dealing with 4 games right now. Should be able to do doubleheaders on 2 channels without people having to stay up all night. One game in late afternoon and one game in early evening. Even if you stagger the starts by an hour or so like they do the NCAA tourney so people can see the end of games, that's fine.

You can make quite a living betting against the as and twins and as I type this they give up a 2 run jack lol.

 

[Briancuse]

It must be 2020 I just witnessed a clutch hit from an Oakland A in a playoff game.

 

[Alsacs]

Tanaka needed last night’s umpire who was giving pitches inches off the plate.

I guess Kiermaier wouldn’t play for the Yankees in CF or LF.

 

[CuseRunner]

I guess Kiermaier wouldn’t play for the Yankees in CF or LF.

No he wouldn't. Nice glove.

 

[Alsacs]

No he wouldn't.

Brett Gardner’s Corpse isn’t better than Kiemaier and maybe if Frazier got the ABs but your organization doesn’t give him the chance.
Kiermaier is a better player than you gave him credit for.

The Yanks could get washed in 4, and he’ll still be here talking crap and making excuses.

 

[Alsacs]

Arozarena looks a lot like young Torri Hunter at the plate.
His swing reminds me so much of Hunter.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Yup. He went to Shen and they won the state championship. He was the pitcher, his brother was the catcher and Kevin Huerter, now of the Atlanta Hawks, was the centerfielder. Their coach was Greg Christodulu, former Cuse QB.

Another great start for Ian Anderson. 5.2 innings, 3 hits, 8 K's and no runs. Here are his post season stats: 11.2 innings, 5 hits, 3 walks, 17 K's and zero runs. Making Clifton Park, NY proud.

 

[OrangeDW]

Cody Bellinger just made a catch for the ages!!!!!

 

[NateW]

They need to switch up some of these game times.... I mean I love that I’ve been able to watch all the Yankees games but I’d like to see a few of the other teams too.

MLB love having Yanks in prime time I’m sure... but I think they’d get bigger dividends long term by allowing some other teams a chance to be seen.

Tell me about it. Was up to 12:30 last night. Considered going to bed when it was 4-1 as I was tiring and was hoping we had control...then the Pads hit 2 homers. Had to stay up because I wouldn’t have slept anyway. Then Bellinger’s catch had me up off the couch with a shot of adrenaline. Forget it. Wide awake.

Anothet late one tonight, smh.

Buckle up buddy - it’s only LDS... you’re likely to have LCS & WS to stay up for.

Just heard his story on the radio up here when the had Buster Olney on. Shen product, probably there at the same time my buddy's kid was there. That's very cool.

 

[Alsacs]

If Dodgers don’t win the WS this year it’s a choke job.
No AL team has the pitching to match them.
San Diego and Atlanta are probably the more complete teams than any AL team.
The Yankees don’t have the pitching.
The Rays don’t have the depth.

Not sure Atlanta has the starting pitching. Fried and Anderson are solid but after that... I'll be curious if Kyle Wright continues the improvement today that he showed over his last few starts. That would be huge. But I do like the Braves bats and bullpen. So crazy our strengths and weaknesses are the opposite from the 90s when the starting pitching carried us.

Hopefully none of those AL teams find an innovative way to cheat us this time, if we get to the WS.

Pads are tough. Braves lineup is a monster. I take nothing for granted, the best team doesn’t always win in a series in baseball the way they do in basketball.

I hope to have that problem, and it really is a good problem to have.

I guess I got my hopes up that they’d put the games on earlier in these weird circumstances where nobody can go to the games anyway. And I thought the time slots might switch up some too. I want a friggin 3:30 or 7:00 game!

They better put the World Series games on at 7:00.

I got no problem chiting on my own team but they didn’t cheat to beat the Dodgers in 2018.
They beat them in 5 games and it wasn’t like they did what the Astros clearly did to Kershaw the year before.
