2022 MLB Playoffs Discussion

[Derwood]

I'm rooting for Seattle, but, in the end, it doesn't really matter. If they win, they are going to get stomped like a narc at a biker rally by the Astros.

 

I just want them to have a home game after being out of the playoffs for so long

 

Not this year. Houston, Cleveland, and New York are higher seeds.

 

They'll still have a home game

Right. The WC round had my head messed up.

It feels almost inevitable that the Mets are going to blow this tonight

[Irrelevant Dude]

Holy hell is Molina slow. I mean, I knew he was slow, but he just got thrown out by two steps on a play that I assumed had absolutely no chance to get the out at first.

[Irrelevant Dude]

A-Rod: "You cannot make the first out at second base!"

 

Uhh... When did that become a thing?

[NOLA]

OMG, Philly with these effing bunts after lead off doubles!

It’s not like they have this lockdown pen where it makes sense to sacrifice outs/chance for big inning for a better chance to score 1 run

SSSSSSSSSSUCK IT Cardinals

[sweetpeteman]

I was certain the Phillies were going to blow it.

The cockroaches are dead.

Oh that's beautiful. You know the Cards fans started to believe after the Molina single.

[Andy]

St. Louis parlayed completely ludicrous pixie dust seasons (even by their standards) from Goldschmidt, Arenado, Wainwright and Pujols into zero playoff wins. There is some good in the world.

[TruffleShuffle]

We didn’t quite get the storybook ending (Molina striking out to end the season and his career), but the most important thing is that the Cards lost.

Yadi got his basketball championship. Misuse of pixie dust.

Really started to feel like 2011/2012 with the Cardinals repeatedly coming off the mat with 1 strike left in their season.

I called an early Cardinals exist three months ago.

It's weird, Goldy and Arenado were the complete opposite of a Cardinals star in October. Those two completely horsefeathers the bed.

[d_money]

Cubs had more wins (3) in October than the Cards did (2)

[soccer10k]

Pujols’s line this year was completely propped up by him destroying lefties and yet the Cards batted him 2nd against Wheeler and Nola. That’s obviously not what cost them the series but it’s a baffling decision.

Mets down 2-0 early

 

Man if they blow this god only knows what Steve Cohen does this offseason but it'll be fun from the outside

[UMFan83]

Makes me laugh that last year we sent them PCA, then they chickened out and wouldn’t pony up for Contreras, then the Cubs swept them causing them to play in the WC round with 101 wins and now they’re going to lose

[Bertz]

[UMFan83]

I just turned this on and I’m confused about what’s happening? He has something on his ear, umps checked and didn’t find anything illegal? But his spin rate is through the roof tonight more than any other start this year? Supposed he could just be full of adrenaline.

 

Naturally Mets fans are latching onto this to deal with their team’s failure

 

Edit: it’s possible his spin rate is just higher than his season average not “through the roof”. I got that from a Mets forum
