    I don't think I've ever seen an interview with a batter who just hit a home run DURING the inning.

    CFM may inadvertently help the Astros again

    Philly doesn’t care about any of these 100 win teams. Super dangerous team right now

    The Braves are screwed if that's happening.

    But that should not have been a HR. A triple at worst if Acuna helps out.

    EDIT: Although the next hitter had a deep fly ball, so the run would've scored regardless.

    Why again did they take out Thor after 3 innings, 1 hit and only 35 pitches?

    Was just going to ask this. Unless he's injured, this seems like one of those examples of over-managing in the playoffs.

    If Atlanta, LA and New York all get bounced before the championship series, I have to think the league will look more closely at this new wild card format. Personally, I'm a fan, as I never thought the one-game do or die idea ever really fit for a sport with a 162-game regular season. Nor did the 16-team format in 2020.

    One season is still a really small sample size, and I'm sure teams will learn from this, but even the Astros struggled more with the Mariners than I think many of us expected. The layoff from the bye may just be more of a detriment than originally thought.

    Yeah. I don't really want to see them if we make it. That's scary momentum
