O's waste a gem by Burnes going to get bounced by the Royals. Baseball is so cruel.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Should be best of 5, I hate this best of 3 bs

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

I'm on the brink of not watching baseball playoffs anymore. All it does is sucks the joy out of the regular season. Play all those games then boom, 2 games and it's all over. Feels like such a waste. Especially since Braves aren't winning another World Series until 2047. Until then, we just keep losing in the 1st round.

Or at least wait until the series get to 7 games.

Also, 6 teams in the playoffs is too many. They have to water down the scheduling. It should be back to 4 teams. 2 divisions per league, Top 2 teams from each division are in the playoffs.

1st round is 5 games, 2nd round is 7 games.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Dodgers and Padres is going to be great. I actually think SD could win the whole thing. Pitching is tough and a good lineup. They are pretty hot currently also.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Well, at least I'm not a Brewers fan. That would be fucking brutal.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

OMG Mets!

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

[quote=MTK;1365345]OMG Mets![/quote]A ninth inning for the ages. Will be interesting to see how they play against Philly. They rose up in this game 3 for sure.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Phillies and Mets now and Dodgers and Padres both series tied at 1. Both are great series with 4 good teams. Give me Philly and SD as a prediction to advance but any 4 can win.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

I can’t say it loud enough, Fuck the Phillies

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

It was nice to see the Phillies lose in the exact same fashion as the Braves did the past 2 seasons. Get the bye, then lose 1st series. I guess they're not built for the playoffs like they thought they were.

Tigers are 1 win away from ALCS. That's pretty crazy.

Padres had their chance, and completely blew it. Dodgers will win Game 5. Gonna be LA vs NYC NLCS.

Yes indeed

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

LA and SD to advance to the NLCS in a pivotal game 5 is going to be great. Highly looking forward to it. Love the mlb playoffs.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

How about those Yankees??? Soto and Stanton are crushing it currently.

LA needs to win tonight to avoid a game 7 against the Mets.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

MLB gets the marquee matchup they were hoping for.

I can't even be mad about the Mets, they had a heck of a ride this season.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

I was pulling for a subway series personally. I will tune in but kind of indifferent to the two teams playing. Going to say Yankees in 5.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Dodgers are so stacked, I'll really be surprised if they don't win it all

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

I don't watch enough NL games but from friends that do they have said LA pitching is soft. Although they have looked solid in playoffs.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread

It all starts with the Dodgers offense for sure, but they do have good bullpen depth

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

[quote=MTK;1366103]Dodgers are so stacked, I'll really be surprised if they don't win it all[/quote]Yankees can win this WS if Stanton, Judge, and Soto crush it. A lot of pressure on Yankees bullpen in this. I like LA to win it too but not as confident as you.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Manfred is in his office jerking off so hard for the next 2 weeks or so.

Now we can see graphics for how many batters Ohtani AND Judge are away

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Sucks we have to wait until Friday for this. Surprised it's not beginning earlier. Should be awesome and the matchup everyone wanted to see. Pressure on both teams honestly. Will be great.

RIP to Fernando Valenzuela a true great. Condolences to friends and family.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Have to admit was less than excited for this series dodgers and yankees just doesn’t do it for me but that was a fun first game

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Guess we'll find out quite soon if NY is going to make this a series. That game 1 loss stung them pretty good with the Freeman hr.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Dodgers now up 3-0 in this series. Are they really going to sweep the Yanks? They will take a ton of heat if so.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

WTF with Stanton the guy cannot run to save his life

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

This World Series is buttcheeks. So anticlimactic.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

What was up with the two meatheads trying to rip the ball out of Mookie's glove last night? They should never step foot in a MLB park again. Dopes.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Cole pitching tonight and Yankees are favored. This WS could get interesting if NY wins tonight. Will be watching.

Why not bring batons to the game if you sit near the field? And anytime a player comes within arm length, you wack’em. How much would you pay to possibly hit Bryce Harper on a foul ball?

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Yankees defense in 1 inning literally gave this game away and now series to the Dodgers. They deserve to lose this game after that inning blowing a 5-0 lead.

Congrats to the Dodgers! Clearly the best team in MLB this year. They won this convincingly with a pretty quite WS from Ohtani. Impressive.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Cole is too fucking lazy to cover 1st in the World Series. Then gets shelled until the game is tied. What a true fucking asshole.

The errors by Judge and Cole were really bad in this game.

He covers 1st base, it's 5-0, the errors don't matter. And errors at least involve trying. He just chose to not bother. Then after he doesn't. He gives up 4 more runs to tie it. He's going to be a villain for life in NYC.

However, it would have been far easier to get out of this hole even with his mistake had the errors prior not occurred as the bases were loaded. Get your point though, but it's all for not now. Dodgers were the better team despite this horrendous Yankee inning.

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

Epic collapse, not that the Yanks were going to pull off 4 straight but a win last night would have made things interesting

Re: 2024 MLB Thread
 

[quote=MTK;1366510]Epic collapse, not that the Yanks were going to pull off 4 straight but a win last night would have made things interesting[/quote]I also doubt they would have won 2 straight in LA, but myself and the MLB world would have loved to see it. Their choking in the 5th inning was terrible and shocking. They should have won that game last night.
