Dodgers and Braves, two of the top teams this year, are both out now, and Yankees are down 2-1 against Cleveland
and there's sure to be some complaints about the new playoff format - Wild Card was a three-game series this year (for the first time), while the top 4 teams (Yankees, Astros, Braves, Dodgers) got a "bye" ... but that bye meant those 4 teams were sitting cold for 6 days while the WC Series played out
these Division Series are only best only 3-of-5, maybe they need to go to a full 7-games to let the bye teams get back in their groove?
congrats to Padres, Phillies, Astros ... only Yankees-Cleveland still going
Dear DODGERS,
YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FLOPS OF THE 2020S!!
HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!
sincerely,
The Diamondbacks
Ha ha.
I used to be a Dodger fan. Now I root for no team since the players refused to play when cops shot the knife wielding rapist in Wisconsin.
I laugh and enjoy the Dodgers losing now. This after 111 wins is pretty sweet.
Gotta say, 2 of 3 and 3 of 5 are crap shoots in baseball. The best team rarely wins. For this and other reasons I have lost most of my passion for MLB. Right now, I am for the Phils, but they are miles away from being the best, and should not have been in the playoffs at all.
And the opium of the masses goes merrily along.
Baseball is unwatchable.
Claustrophobic shots of the pitcher, catcher, batter with the distracting digital box. Like it’s a video game. Then close ups of the the players in the dugout.
If and when there is a hit you have to wait until the THIRD replay to see the wide-view play on the field. By that time, the excitement of it is over.
Combined with aggressively annoying commercials? No thanks
should also add,
there is a further controversy because SD limited ticket sales to area counties only, in an attempt to keep LA fans from taking over Petco Field
now there’s questions of whether that’s legal ... but didn’t the Nashville Predators do something similar already?
Sorry...I have no interest watching the Cleveland Transgenders or the Atlanta Non Binaries. When pro athletes started kneeling at the National Anthem and when teams started renaming themselves I completely lost interest.
If MLB were to expand the playoff series yet again, baseball playoffs would be like those of basketball and hockey, taking forever to complete, and making the regular season of less and less importance. We need fewer, not more playoff games.
No thank you to ‘wokeball’.
The Yankee offense has been non-existent and Cleveland has been hot. They may go all the way.
BELIEVE
111 wins in the regular season does not translate to anything in the postseason. Maybe it should, that’s a valid question. Congratulations to the Padres! I’m sure the networks were hoping for an old-fashioned Yankees - Dodgers World Series but that is not going to happen. The Yankees are still alive, but Dem Bums (as they were formerly known in Brooklyn) have let their fans down once again.
Baseball is the most boring sport invented next to soccer.
The off-time has not hurt the Astros....
I would love to see Cleveland (I won’t call them the Guardians!) beat the Yankees.
And the Phillies re peaking at the right time. Maybe they are this year’s Nationals - fire the manager in June, turn the season around, and go through the playoffs to win it all.
Any day the Dodgers lose is a good day.
Those runs you don't get come back to haunt you.
The cry heard throughout padres nation was beat LA and LFGSD said in mid-season by catcher and clutch walk off master Jorge Alfaro.
Fear the Goose!
Dodgers - COVID Champions!
