It’s one of the biggest problems with MLB, the postseason games end up feeling less impactful because most of the national announcers suck so much.
This has not been the case in the past. National broadcasts are always black out on MLB.tv.
Luckily, hockey starts soon, so I have a solid reason to fire the Youtube TV account back up.
If you are willing to pay money, you could subscribe to Youtube TV or something similar.
I am assuming you don't want to pay money.
It is a BRUTAL booth. I cannot believe Kay is getting a playoff gig. He's such a smug blowhard.
If there are no upsets (and I don't expect many after the first round this year), the Mets ended up with 100-101 wins but have an absurdly hard path:
SD (best of 3, all in NY)
LAD (starting in LA, so minimum two cross-country flights, and DeGrom/Scherzer not able to go in game 1)
ATL (starting in ATL, that went well for them this past weekend)
HOU (starting in HOU)

Here are all the possible scenarios for Sunday:

Cleveland and Tampa Bay getting both noon starts was the most predictable thing ever. Fortunately, I won't be working on Friday.
I am pulling so hard for Seattle to beat Toronto. Not that I dislike the Jay, I just really want to see playoff baseball in Seattle.
Does anyone find that the crowd sounds are too loud vis-a-vis the guys in the booth? (I really like Glanville, but in order to hear him at times, I have to turn the telly up so loud that the crowd noises are painful.)
Fall arrived in NE Ohio last night – temperature dropped 15°+ since yesterday – so these first two games are going to be in the lower 50°s, but in what has been the worst weather in a Cleveland baseball season I remember, they should at least stay dry. If they play on Sunday, it should be a nice one.
Not that I expect a repeat performance, but in McClanahan's only previous appearance against Cleveland, he got knocked out after 4.1 innings at the end of July and allowed 5 earned runs.

That’s what happens when there is a day off yesterday and no night games 2 days ago
Not sure how that matters, teams were lining up their aces for game 1 either way.
We only had NL east in doubt so yeah. Easier to line up when an extra day of rest. If more teams were trying to get the bye or to get in, the extra day would have mattered more.
Teams could have used their #1 on Tuesday (2nd to last game) and still ensured they would get their #1 in the first round if necessary. Pun intended. Or Monday (3rd last) and gotten their #1 in 100%.
This has nothing to do with the 2022 Seattle Mariners, but It came up when I was reading some things about the 2001 Mariners and could be a fun little read before their game today. The last time the Mariners made the playoffs, their starting shortstop had tuberculosis.

It developed kind of quietly during the season (after a lot of early season talk that his stuff wasn't the same anymore), but I guess the secret is out now – Bieber is still one of the best pitchers in the game.
I get that Owen Miller is going to start against lefties, even though he doesn't hit them, because they aren't going to put the inexperienced lefty Will Brennan in there. I absolutely do not understand why Miller is batting 6th, ahead of Gimenez, who destroys lefties.
I don't know if I will ever get used to these super HD cameras that make people on TV look more real than they do in real life.
Also, this game is really good so far, if you like pitchers' duels. Which I do.
