Yeah, not a strike.

Michael Brantley feels like he has been in MLB for over three decades.

Well he started in the Oughts so three it is

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Chas was looking for something else besides a fastball on the middle outer half. Wow.

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

Time for Dodgers-Dbacks!

I'm rooting for a Phillies-Dbacks NLCS.

Yes, but will keep an eye on the Twins in hopes that they can pull it out. Not optimistic. They're running out of time and outs.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Minnesota down to six precious outs.

 

[canderson]

God I hope Texas can be Houston. They can’t but maybe Houston catches colds or something.

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

An Astros-Rangers ALCS is gonna give me a headache if it comes to that.

You won't enjoy an all State Of Texas series?

 

[pk1627]

I get sad when I think of the last 5 weeks of the season. Then I remember I wasn’t born anywhere near Minneapolis-St Paul.

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

You won't enjoy and all State Of Texas series?

Well, I'd probably enjoy it more if Texas itself were a better place than it is now. But that's just my opinion.

Then again, the thought of an all-Texas ALCS does sound interesting the more I think about it...

 

[simplicio]

What's up with the Arizona game? Is the TBS feed crap? Is the lighting at that stadium terrible? It's really jarring switching over from Minnesota.

 

[pk1627]

I think that makes the AL East an almost impossible 3-17 in postseason games the last two years combined:

TB 0-4
TOR 0-4
BAL 0-3
NY 3-2 over CLE then 0-4 to HOU
BOS 0-0

Go back one more year and there’s one team that has more playoff wins than the other 4 combined

Bob Costas is making this feel like I'm watching a Twitch stream of MLB The Show

Hmm, that's interesting. With a few exceptions, I don't associate teams with their home states or any of the policies etc. Sports exists in a bubble.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

A Buxton homer would be pretty cool here

 

[Ale Xander]

It looks cold in MSP

That's a good approach! Maybe I should do the same.

 

[Ale Xander]

Just as likely he’s going to get hurt somehow

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

A Buxton homer would be pretty cool here

Contact out of the IF would have been cool there. Oof that was a putrid AB

 

[Ale Xander]

3 outs left

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

Twins are down to their last three outs.

To be honest, I had a feeling the Astros would advance. They have more playoff experience.

 

[AB in DC]

Didn't look like a swing to me. Of course, no rpelay.

 

[nolasoxfan]

I loathe the Astros. American League frauds. Put them back in the National League where they belong.

 

[derekson]

Didn't look like a swing to me. Of course, no rpelay.

Looked like a strike anyway, ironically.

At least Abreu is a better pitcher than Pressly so maybe there's a chance.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

How do you feel about the Brewers?

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

Here we go. Twins' last chance.

In one-run games in the regular season this year, the Astros were 20-21, while the Twins were 19-27.

Anything can happen though!

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

I loathe the Astros. American League frauds. Put them back in the National League where they belong.

I actually wouldn't mind that. Maybe they can trade places with the Brewers, like DeJesus Built My Hotrod mentioned.

That would make Twins-Brewers series even more interesting!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If there was one series where I really root for the fans, its this Twins one. They are fantastic and deserve a playoff win. Please make it so.

 

[Ale Xander]

Fox trying to jinx Pressley

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

2 outs left...

 

[Ale Xander]

They deserve to beat the MFY no one else

 

[nolasoxfan]

How do you feel about the Brewers?

I miss them in the AL, to be honest.

 

[BaseballJones]

For those that don't want to do the work on this....from 2021-2023:

BOS 6-5
TB 1-7
TOR 0-4
BAL 0-3
NY 3-7

OR...

Bos 6-5 (.545)
Rest 4-21 (.160)

Just sayin'....

 

[Ale Xander]

One

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This dude is so filthy

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

The Astros are 1 out away.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Nasty curve.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I miss them in the AL, to be honest.

I bet you wanted a Moose Haas jersey as a kid. I sure as hell did.

 

[Ale Xander]

Pressley can’t find the strike zone to Kep

 

[AMS25]

Time for Dodgers-Dbacks!

I'm rooting for a Phillies-Dbacks NLCS.

Me too.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I bet you wanted a Moose Haas jersey as a kid. I sure as hell did.

Please, it was all about the Boomer

 

[3rd Degree]

Dbacks strike first with a HR from Perdomo.

 

[Ale Xander]

You can’t let that go

 

[NorthwestSoxGuy]

Astros-Rangers ALCS, here we come

UGHHH

 

[osori]

Damn...

 

[simplicio]

Boooo

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That was paint. Oof. Sorry Twins fans. Get em next year...

 

[canderson]

Gross but it’s a miracle Minnesota won a game imo
