If the Mets beat the Brewers, why wouldn’t the Padres play Philly instead of the Dodgers?

They’re in brackets. Houston, as the #3 team would play the #2 team, the Phillies. There’s no re-seeding so instead it’s #6 vs #2

Thank you. I have never liked brackets in pro sports. Best should always play worst and re-seed every round.

Pretty happy about the Royals, even though I like the Orioles, too. I, being a geezer, remember those AL West showdowns with our division rivals in KC. Those were some good teams. San Diego makes me glad, and Detroit makes me positively giddy. Bite me, Trashtros.

This 3 batter rule is stupid. If a pitcher gives up a single and then a homer you pull him except now you can’t. I hated Selig who oversaw steroids and didn’t ban Big Pill Poppie, but he now looks good compared to Manfred

I think a KC-DET 1984 style ALCS redux would be fun.

Brewers score 3 in the bottom of the 8th to go from losing by 1 to leading by 2.

What just happened in the Padres game? I’m in a noisy restaurant and can’t tell. Did the pitcher get pulled? Why?

Josh Hader blows the game against the Tigers
Anybody else here care to explain why relievers don’t suck, because they really actually do!?!

“When Anthony has played, he hasn’t been productive,” Minasian said, via Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register. “So he’s gonna have to come in and earn it. There’s no handouts. We’re starting to create some depth, where we have some versatile players that can do some different things, so the best players are gonna play, no doubt about it.”

I bolded the funniest bit

They’re good even if they are not “hot.” They are just GOOD.

And I am rooting for them.

Living through the 80s, it’s tough to root for KC, and then 2014.

yes, but they’re playing the Skanks. I much prefer Witt Jr over the Saberhagen Royals or the lucky eyes closed Royals.

Well, let’s see, my Halos bombed in 2024, my Lakers did as well and will again this season, my Rams are behind the 8-ball, it is still preseason for my Kings, I got wait & see on my USC football, my TCU football is in the crapper and my cat disappeared (True story). But I got 2024 ST to look forward to…..

Cripes!

I can give you an early tip on 2024 spring training- don’t get your hopes up with Robert Stephenson.

c – Logan O’Hoppe

2b – Christian Moore
ss – Jack Lopez
3b – Wags
lf – Taylor Ward
cf – Mickey Moniak
rf – Jo Adell
dh – Jordyn Adams
sp – Tyler Anderson
sp – Jose Soriano
sp – Silent C

well I could go on and on but you see how stacked we’ll be!

It’ll sell 3 million tickets and that’s all that matters around here.

Arte finally figured it out. He doesn’t need to pay for shiny objects to sell 3mil

Trout will be the DH. At least he should be. I hope Wash doesn’t give in and let him play CF. It would be a travesty. His bat is still quite dangerous, but his days of being an asset on defense are long gone.

Was Neto traded for draft picks? Everything else looks about right. I want Detmers in there too.

Ummm…….I think you left out Neto. Adams as DH?
