Post Season 2020

Theyre not overrated. They have good squads. Its just with this 3 game format, its anybodys guess who advances.

 

So happy Tyler Bauer watching from home

 

Better story if it’s two divisional rivals in the LDS.

The AL will get that for sure. Neither of these teams in either series like each other.

A’s are a better lineup for our pitching staff, despite them having familiarity. Astros also know their guys pretty well.

 

It would suck most to lose to the following teams in order:
janks
A's
Rays

Best(dream) scenario would be to win WS
2nd would be to to make it the WS
3rd would be to lose to the Rays in ALCS

Worst scenario is lose to the janks in ALCS
2nd worst would be lose to the A's

 

MLB followed up the 4:09 A's/Sox game with a 4:19 Pads/Cards game.

Manfred is gonna demand 4 new rules because of this.

 

Would be epic to go through As, Yankees and Dodgers. So many tears from coast to coast.

 

1. foul balls with 2 strikes are now outs
2. 1 mound visit per game (regardless of # of pitcher's), can come from either dugout or player on field
3. games that last 3 hours 10 mins go into automatic sudden death with extra inning rules applied
4. if no team scores in the first inning of sudden death, the team with the larger metropolitan area will be deemed the winner; if said team is located in Harris County, TX 2 first round draft picks will be docked

 

Whats the over/under on Astros bat flips this series?

 

Well, youre assuming that we can actually get our bats going this series?

Id be happy with 4 timely bat flips

 

In the first game, right?

 

For being such a shortened season, Laureano 'teaching' our pitchers how to pitch seems like a lifetime ago. I forgot who was the pitcher he did that to? Cristian?

Any team you play in the baseball post season is going to be a grind. I even expect for Tony Kemp to get a revenge at bat in this series but the Stros' bats will finally wake up. Altuve has to eventually show up for a series or two if they want to advanced to the world series. But even if he hits .00000 his presence is still magic like someone said a gnome.. Before going in the IL Astros had a respectable record heading to the West coast. Coincidence? No such things as coincidence, Abby.

 

That would mean the bats are alive and well and that would make me rather happy.

 

Castellanos, in his 3rd game (3rd IP), on a 3-2 pitch, in a 4-run game, in the 7th inning.

Laureano is a massive douchebag, he makes me hate the A's as much as anyone else (yes, him included). And I don't really want to hate the A's.

 

We’re only hating the A’s cuz they’re good right now. When they suck, u will like them again. Same for Angels and Mariners. Now Rangers is another story.

 

None of what you just said is true.

 

Apparently, the #3 vs #6 match up is MLB's equivalent of the NCAA March Madness #5 vs. #12 match up.

 

It's like he doesn't know the rat is on their team

 

The Marlins have still never lost a playoff series.

Unbelievable what they did trading away Ozuna, Stanton, and Yelich.... and here they are. People criticized the Astros, the Marlins are the KING OF TANK.

 

They also hadn't played a postseason game in 16 years
