Looks like we aren't the only team that enjoys running into outs.

Say what you will about the changes to the format and the circumstances the games are played under, but these have easily been the least exciting post season games I've seen. Every year I am dialed into the division series and while I've been watching these games they are having difficulty holding my attention. Maybe the excitement will turn up...

In almost all cases, pitching duels are boring as.

I like them in the post season typically. I think we really are just missing the fans... and the quality of the play is some times questionable.

They may be ok when you get to the 8th or 9th inning, but innings 1-7 aren't one bit exciting. 

In fact, I actually watched cricket for a while.  Jofra Archer is a beast.

I thought that would be the last bad play on the bases for the game.

Clevinger out of WC series and may miss entire playoffs.

That's one reason why I cited the level of play being a little questionable for the playoffs... maybe thats not fair to say but it just kind of feels that way to me. Good teams have usually locked all this stuff up by the post season.

I think they are exciting by the 6th inning.

Man the Padres are screwed not having their two best starting pitchers in this first round.

If they can somehow make it to the next round I'm hearing Lamet and Clevinger will be available.

I still cant get over all the fans packed outside the stadium because they won't let them pack inside the stadium...

That's why there are no black people outside?

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams has been left off the roster for their wild-card series against the top-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers, the team announced Wednesday.

 

The NL Rookie of the Year favorite is dealing with an injury, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN.

4 playoff games going on at the same time. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

The 3 game format already looking like it might claim it's first victim in the form of a good Twins club down a run late against the Trashstros.

[fan_since79]

Correa. Ugh.

Come on Twins, wake up those bats!

[AngelsLakersFan]

I think it's funny... a lot of us suspected that the Astros might not be all that good this year, but thanks to Covid they have managed to avoid virtually all criticism and ridicule during games, get a gift berth into the post season and potentially a fluke advancement into the division series. Who says cheating doesn't pay?

[fan_since79]

The excellent home record of the Astros and their horrible road record makes me wonder if some funny stuff is going on at that stadium.

[fan_since79]

Reds/Braves may go 19 innings at this rate.
