Walking a ton of guys with an 8 run lead, now 7, now 6, is pathetic and late season Perry pickup style pitching

Good grief, Reds. Why even bother going to the playoffs?

This Ohtani guy is pretty good. Glad we got nada for him.

That’s our “beloved” management.
Didn’t want to trade Ohtani because we might’ve made 2023 playoffs, lol.
Then, didn’t want to pay largesse for Ohtani, despite knowing it would take a largesse to sign him.
Paralysis of analysis.

I think Arte likes big name splash whether it is good or bad. As long as he brings along the Molina brothers

What a complete and utter disaster this is …. so many other choices would have been MUCH better.
Albert knows hitting but how do you expect a guy who is the ALL TIME LEADER in Grounded into Double Plays to push smart, team baseball where you give yourself up to move runners and help the team ???

I also don’t think Albert is a very good communicator, nor is he a leader. Those are two skills that are essential to being a good manager.

the only thing I’ve seen is a link to some Cardinal site but the page that comes up says “404, not found”. I believe you, though. That’s….something.

Former Angel starts off good for the Dodgers with a HR. I miss Shotime. Fuck you Arturo. Sept. cuss.

Edge of your seat ending in NY, 2 out bases loaded stuff. Great ending though if you dislike the Yankees.

I dislike the Yankees and Astros most, and have good friends who are Boston fans, so that was a great outcome for me.

Every game tense so far – what the playoffs should look like.
I hope LA-Cincy isn’t a blowout.

One earned run total in the DET-CLE match. That’s good pitching, and rather good baseball overall.

All day long it has been good pitching, fun watching these games for Angels fans’ as we don’t see a lot of this good pitching by starters.
