Saturday Playoff Game Thread

This could be the last day for the defending champions and the Mariners. What I’m really hoping is this is the last day for the Dodgers.

On different websites and forums I see so many Angels fans trolling on Mariners and Dodgers a bunch right now, which I kind of cringe at given that I’d be very happy if the Angels had the seasons that either one of those teams had.

Well, can’t agree there. ANY team that wins 111 games in the regular season and then gets knocked out in their first playoff series has to be seen a failure.

What about a team with 98 wins that gets knocked out in the first playoff series?

Just thinking back on this….

What a painful way to go out; 6 hours and 22 minutes of baseball torture for Mariners fans yesterday :

An epic, 18-inning win for the Astros produces only pain in Seattle (msn.com)

Curious if Jer Jer turns on his BFF and shitcans Sourpuss after running his career ALDS record to 0-6.

Jer Jer has now been a GM for 11 seasons and he’s still looking for an early round victory to make the series competitive . Even Billy Beane and “My shit dont work in the playoffs” and skeleton payrolls has had more success.

Whoever is responsible for those crappy decisions should be axed, between removing Anderson too soon, and unbelievably bad bullpen management, among so many other things.

Padres 2022 payroll is almost $240M. Ours is $192 according to Spotrac
yeah you think YOO NOH HOO was gonna be willing to pay that, especially for pitching? WHY DO THINK HE’S CUTTING & RUNNING LIKE A DEER THAT JUST SPOTTED A PACK OF HUNGRY WOLVES?

Wow, just came to check out the game thread late at night, and there’s 405 comments. Lots of people on this site for a non-Angels playoffs. That’s cool.

My hope for a CLE-SD World Series is still alive.

That would be nice. I don’t want to see the Yankees or Houston Cheaters advance to the WS. The Phillies I don’t care one way or the other, though I wouldn’t mind it for the sake of Thor and Marsh.

Phillies phans are generally assholes but I could get behind the Phillies . But I think this needs to be the year of the Indians ( guardians whatever) they haven’t won a World Series in 74 years so they are definitely due .

It’s time for the Guardians, with their 28th largest payroll. Minasian should take a look.

It’s called dominant bullpen and not striking out on offense.

I wish I could’ve heard Game 4 called by the Doyers’ regular TV guys, Joe Davis and Orel Hershisher. It would’ve made up for all the arrogance and gloating I heard from them this year. Effing a-holes. both of them.

I was watching the Batman, minding my own business, when my heart filled with joy and I tasted this fantastic flavor in my mouth… like an angel had made butterscotch from a collapsed star just for me.

What is this delicious taste? This miracle confection sent from heaven? Am I dying? Is it a stroke?

No. It’s another complete flop by the Doyers. It’s the tears of people who go for duh Doyers. It is entitlement and a 300M payroll simmering in a pan full of sweet sweet total failure. Oh, so good, the tears of the Doyer fans, like the honey a starving Jonathan ate in the Bible, sugar for the mind soul and body. There is nothing like it.

I lay this squarely at Friedman and OppenCorp LTD LLCs feet.

Doyer fans think so. A lot of ’em anyway. When he was a rental for them he didn’t hustle. I am not a fan; never was. It’s amazing they’ve gone this far w/o Tatis, Jr….who also has shown he’s kind of a dick. Oh, well.

Tbh. The format was wonky. But the Dodgers were a very flawed team. I’ve been very confident that they weren’t winning the WS. No big bullpen pieces, injured pitching staff. You still have Dave Roberts and the Dodgers still haven’t won a WS with road fans. Let’s be honest but that 2020 season looks even worse every passing year. Nobody is taking that seriously 10 years from now.

Anything besides the winner of the AL versus the winner of the NL is wonky because it invites an inferior team to get into the WS. The more inferior teams that are added, the more likely that will happen.
