MLB Playoffs Thread

Huge Royals fan…absolutely thrilled with the season they had. I hope they advance but if they don’t, that’s fine. They played great almost the entire season - holding down a playoff spot for all but a handful of days. Fun team to watch.
Haven't been great down the stretch, pitching will need to carry.
Yeah... no. Football is the best. Being a Reds/Rangers fan means this is even lower on my priority list. Still above golf and NASCAR!
MJ continues to be a liability in LF, yet they keep throwing him out there. Hitting a monster .200
Bobby will need to get hot again for this offense to get going. Hard to expect much from Vinny yet. MJ is having an awful season. Pitching will have to carry them
It’s currently football season.Yeah... no. Football is the best. Being a Reds/Rangers fan means this is even lower on my priority list. Still above golf and NASCAR!
And playoff baseball is on on a Tuesday afternoon.
It’s a lot to ask for Vinnie to pick up where he left off, but for KC to have a shot he needs to. Literally every Royals hitters production tanked by a huge margin when he went out. Witt and Perez most notably.
Yes it is, IMO
Football + Playoff baseball at the same time
Meaningful action every day of the week
There's one. Scoring the Royals way. Massey can really help this offense. Pham is good to have a clutch hit or two, and has been great on defense the last few weeks. Salvy will do something sometime in this series, just need pitching to keep doing what they do.
Detroit remains hot
Boy if Royals can get this one and have Lugo going in game 2.

Yeah no. Football playoffs & hockey playoffs are many levels greater than baseball playoffs.
Go Mets, fan since Tom Seaver.
In mid 60's the PE teacher at Calvert Elementary in Lincoln made us watch the World Series games during lunch recess. I hated it, but got to see McNalley's Grand Slam, and then the Mets the following year, if I remember correctly. Was a long time ago, back when games were played in middle of afternoon.
Mr Oltman was his name, and I cherish the memories I have, as hated missing recess for dumb boring baseball.

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying
Hockey playoffs (very awesome) are in June, when basketball playoffs and regular season baseball are taking place
Football playoffs are January basically all by themselves. regular season hockey and hoops are going on
I am talking about the 12 month calendar
I will put it a different way - October is the best month for sports, IMO.
Football and playoff baseball simultaneously.

I understand what you are saying. I have no dog in the fight. I might be lucky to watch the WS at this point.
Huge deaths of two legends the day before playoffs 🙄 Reds won their game the day before it happened. I don’t watch much baseball but will be eyeing the Phillies and Braves.
Was waiting for this
Didn’t expect mutumbo to factor into the MLB playoffs
Should’ve known better. Your idiocy is boundless
Stellar performance by Ragans. Must admit I’m shocked the pen held the birds down. Before I knew what was going on I was screaming at Q at taking Ragans out.
Who you going to throw out there? To me, Renfroe has been a bigger disappointment.
Maybe but nobody has been a bigger liability in LF than MJ. Almost cost the Royals runs tonight. He is a defensive nightmare and KC can't afford to give up easy runs.
Lots of teams in play that haven't won a World Series since the 80s or never at all. Baltimore, Detroit, Dodgers, Indians,Padres. Mets, Milwaukee...quite the list
I love being a Pirates fan. It's great having stress free Octobers.
