  1. Finally, Padres guaranteed at least two and as many as four more home games after going 24 years since last winning a home playoff game. AL team unless CLE is going to be a massive favorite in the WS.
  2. 8~15 the final head to head season record between the two teams... Overexposure of the Goose mascot from earlier in the series will get annoying.
  3. Melvin will send Hader out, but would be tempting to leave Suarez in against Betts...until he gives up a base runner. Then again, probably not even considering it.
  4. Time for a rain delay and Freddie Freeman inspirational speech.
  5. Have to go with the hot hand there and not pull Almonte after two huge outs. Suarez can be wild from time to time and will be super amped up. In theory, Hader will get the last four outs, although all the evidence in the world says to start him with just one clean inning.
  6. Lol. But not that easy to get the go ahead RBI.
  7. Roberts would be 12-5 in elimination games after starting out 4-4. Pretty incredible to get 8 out of 9 when 55-60% would seem a lot more realistic, at best.
  8. Trayce Thompson throwing some leather. Tyler Anderson cruising so far. Crazy day in baseball and NCAAF Top 10 upsets, at least four teams go down.
  9. https://theathletic.com/3571844/2022/09/08/guardians-oscar-gonzalez-wason-brazoban/ Scouted by a famous Dominican singer who opened a baseball academy. "Of course, this organization also left Gonzalez unprotected from the Rule 5 draft last winter. Had the lockout not spurred the cancellation of the annual event, Gonzalez would likely be hacking away in another uniform. Gonzalez insists he wasn’t concerned about that, nor was he re-evaluating his future when he became a minor-league free agent for a week after the 2021 season ended. None of that matters now, anyway."
  10. Both post season heroes this year with multiple game winners weren't wanted by their original teams. Alvarez traded by the Dodgers for a reliever and anyone could have claimed Oscar Gonzalez last year.
  11. Remember when Luis Robert could make a play like that? Guardians continue to peck away. But tough to imagine going to Clase again after yesterday.
  12. That was huge for the Yankees. This one is going to come down to the bullpens again in all likelihood.
  13. Well all those infield hits add up to rising pitch counts and additional pressure...not to mention all his steals. And Just not sure they can expect repeats from Kwan Gonzalez and Gimenez. Maybe? Benetti doing USC/Utah for those interested.
  14. Crazy thing is Rosario is the only key position player who could become a FA after next year. Jesus really good player, but so much minor league depth at that spot, including Arias. Think investing in the rotation and Abreu would be enough.
  15. At least he can play the outfield and first decently.
  16. Taylor also really struggled this year as well, which is partially why Lux is unlikely to go anywhere.
  17. Wouldn't have pitched to Gimenez with Arias behind him. Severino pitch count way up. Kwan continues to set the table.
  18. Best game of the season, TN survives Alabama in Knoxville.
  19. Kelenic .276 ops in the postseason, despite a two hit game recently. Frazier couldn't get the key hit this time.
  20. https://www.yahoo.com/news/commentary-excruciating-conclusion-dodgers-glorious-100028776.html https://sports.yahoo.com/dreamed-one-win-nlcs-300-122806788.html If the Padres can finish it, they will have pulled off one of the sport’s truly monumental upsets. The Dodgers won 22 more games than the Padres during the regular season. No team has won a postseason series against a team as many games above them in the standings since the 1906 White Sox.
  21. Juan Soto only sporting a .600 ops in the post season. Pretty much continues to be all pitching bullpen defense and Machado/Trent Grisham, who hit just .184 in the regular season. Hader got his swag back. Nevertheless, will see tons of complaints if LAD NYY and Braves all miss the LCS. Meanwhile, Houston just continues to perform year after year, despite the changing faces.
