Most notable thing in the playoffs has been what they just said. Who can layoff balls out of the zone? Chase rate has been everything. Rangers, Dbacks and Astros so far just will not chase.
At this rate, the Red Sox will end the season with the same number of post season wins as the Rays, Jays, Orioles, and Yankees.
East not so much of a beast after all.

Gee, that sounds smart, but you have warned us that you don't know what you're talking about, so now I don't know what to think!
I don’t know what I am talking about, but sometimes what I do is think about what a smarter person would say, and then I just say that.
Jack Flaherty doesn’t count? Seriously, they needed to move some position player prospects for pitching.
It should be noted that Bradish was ver good this year and Rodriguez was solid after his recall.
He guessed fastball. Said in his interview that he assumed they wouldn't go offspeed on a 3-1 count with the bases loaded. He guessed right.
Fair enough, I guess I was thinking they might have needed a "been there, done that" veteran since they knew they were postseason bound
Feels like there could be some very smart trades to be made with either Cleveland or Seattle.
They have more experience in the playoffs on their roster, and in their dugout
I wonder how the Orioles announcers are doing. Are they allowed to mention they are losing, or is that a firing offense?
"The Orioles have a solid hold on second place today, while the Rangers look as though they'll finish next to last"
Small sample size but Eovaldi looks like the horse of the Texas pitching staff, not Montgomery.
omg Seager.

It's hard to believe this game is only in the bottom of the fifth. It's been on forever! (edit: seems like)
Gunnar is easily one of my favorite AL East players, on both sides of the ball.
There is plenty of time for the Rangers pen to blow a 5 run lead. Though, the O's worn out pen keeping them at 10 runs...hard to be optimistic about that.

Rangers not doing some little things. Had a tough mental error last inning, then the mini-squander with bases loaded no out. Os still need a lot to go right but Rangers have opened the door a tiny crack.
At a minimum, Os need to a pitcher to throw some strikes and get some outs.
I just don't get first-pitch swinging against a pitcher who just came into the game. Two outs, men on 2nd and 3rd, and it's over in an instant.
There is a school of thought that sometimes the first pitch is a get me over fastball
