2022 MLB Playoffs Discussion

Padres-Phillies NLCS. Just like we all thought.

 

A 5 seeded Wild Card team is going to have home field advantage in the NLCS

And the 3 100+ win NL teams won a combined 3 games in the playoffs.

Lol Dodgers, still no legitimate title since 1988

 

[soccer10k]

5 teams have won 111+ games in a season. Only the 1998 Yankees won the WS.

 

I know this is just a small sample fluke because 9 of the 13 teams that won between 107 and 110 games won the WS but it's still kind of crazy.

[NOLA]

I gotta say, this playoff format is pretty awesome.

 

Also, this:

Blahahah.

[CubinNY]

Big game tonight. I like the Yankees to move on and play the Astros.

[Derwood]

Terrible weather luck in this NYY v CLE series

[Irrelevant Dude]

I can't take anymore of The Cube. What is going on with this game?

Postponed. Playing tomorrow at 3, ALCS to start Wednesday in Houston

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I wonder if it's ever happened before that there were playoff games from different rounds on the same day.

per twitter, this is the first time something like that could happen:

Crazy. I thought it happened in the early 2000's but I guess I'm remembering incorrectly. (Edit: I'm thinking of something completely different - the MLB having 2 LCS games going at the same time which happened with Cubs/Marlins and Red Sox/Yankees at least once in 2003). The NBA does this fairly often between the 1st and 2nd rounds

[UMFan83]

Good try Cleveland

[17 Seconds]

yankees getting their shot at revenge vs the astros was the better matchup anyways

[squally1313]

Yeah, now that I know I'll get to root for either Yu or Schwarber, give me Astros/Yanks and hopefully one loses in excruciating fashion in the ALCS and then the other one does in the WS.

[Old Style]

Give me Rizzo vs Schwarber in the WS. Living in Texas I want NO part of Houston making it again. Their fans are insufferable.

[17 Seconds]

wait why didn't they start Bieber on short rest?

[UMFan83]

During game 4, they said Tito said it wasn't fair to Bieber to put that strain on him because he's young and has many years ahead of him. But that was talking about him pitching in relief on 2 days rest. Supposedly he was available in relief today (3 days rest) but I guess not used because they were down 3-0 in the 1st inning.

Also Harpers reaction was priceless

[Derwood]

I'm so mad we let Schwarber go

[mul21]

I'm so mad we let Schwarber go

 

I'm not sure he'd be what he is if they didn't. Washington fixed something when he was there.
