If I bought MLB The Show and heard this level of announcing from Costas in the game I would probably ask Sony for a refund.

I know everyone who has advanced this far is obviously playing good baseball, but if LA gets eliminated tonight and the Phillies finish off Atlanta, it would leave these four teams left:
Hou: 90-72
Tex: 90-72
Ari: 84-78
Phi: 90-72
Would that be the worst final four in MLB playoff history?

When they give Austin a team I'll consider it. Until then, making Ted Cruz happy is a bridge too far.
Also Chapman.
Yep — though balls really jump there. I think the elevation —though seemingly modest — actually makes a bit of a difference.
Agreed. They have been good at it. Our teams have had runs where they seemed like they would be dominant each year but the bill always has to be paid. It almost always ends. Maybe you all are right and they'll re-arm in the offseason and come right back. I hope for your sake they do.
Also, kudos on your Costas MLB The Show post. Respect.
I understand why he took, but that was a terrible at bat. That was a chance to win the series and he got two get me over fastballs.
I know we are busy writing the Dodgers’ obit, but that was a bad inning. They still have guys who can hit, and Chase is a place where failing to tack on gets punished.

Totally - you're spot on. Chris Taylor and Max Muncy aren't going to keep walking through that door. That bill is getting scary with Kersh on his way out, Urias done, and Buehler and May both coming back from TJ. The kids haven't shown up as hoped this year and AZ is (obv) only ascending.
Edit: What a fucking snag.
So weird. That is not a statement anyone would have ever predicted six weeks ago, but yeah.
Also, it has to be hard for the Dodgers not to press. There are very few holes in the defense and that has to get in your head.
The one thing I will say is that your ownership can and will spend to the absolute maximum level in the pursuit of a winner. They will always have that as kind of a structural advantage.
How'd Pfaadt look? Dude got insane Ks in the minors, but judging from the box he pitched to contact.

Mookie Betts' postseason woes continue.
He is now 3-for-37 going back to the 2021 NLCS.

I'd take that and going back to one wild card per league but it's hard to see that happening.
Costas having a revelation about the post-season format is on someone's bingo card. Unfortunately they may already be asleep.
Am I the only one who thought during the Red Sox series back in September that the Dodgers looked pretty thin offensively? I felt like it was Mookie, Freddy, and then a lot of flotsam.
April 2007, four in a row vs the Yanks.
June 1977, four in the first inning vs Catfish Hunter.
Yeah, though they beat us a couple of games with the bottom of their lineup. But that is how you beat them. You have to get the bottom of their lineup out.
