The Official 2020 MLB Playoff Series Gameday Thread

[m0nkey 4,414]

I like to think my knowledge of all 30 teams is higher than the average fan but I’d never heard of Bryse Wilson before today. 

[Randy Gradishar 1,363]

Do people not realize the Astros beat the Dodgers in 2017? I don't care if they tortured puppies to do it.

I only want them to lose because my worst fear is the Dodgers' getting revenge.

[TooCool 268]

Go Braves!!!!

[CaliAngel 1,629]

Braves pitching doing absolutely anything they can to give this game back to the doyers. 

Holy shit stop walking guys!

[Randy Gradishar 1,363]

I don't believe what I just saw.

[Lou 42,415]

I love how the guys on the postgame show are saying Kershaw pitched well. 

[Lou 42,415]

I miss Dontrelle.

Yet another non-QS in the post-season

It wasn't his worst post season start. 

[Lou 42,415]

ARod did say something interesting. He mentioned how in their scouting report they were told to swing on 3-2 counts because Kershaw never wants to walk a batter.

A TB/ATL World Series would be perfect.

[Blarg 30,061]

The MLB front office would lose their shit if that happens. I think it would be great for fans outside of the major metro, getting some validation rather than the constant media jerk off to their star laden teams. Ratings would be shit but in general the playoffs ratings this year are crap anyways. 

Manfred has successfully done the complete unexpected and during a time where baseball was one of the few sports options available he pissed off the players, owners and fans by fucking up the restart over greed. This was a chance to bring back baseball as America's sport, an oasis in this desert of problems and instead made it part of the pandemic. A clusterfrack.

So I look forward to the Rays and Braves in a World Series, the anti-heroes in this fucked up season. A perfect fuck you to the office of the commissioner.

Save the Cubs World Series, the World Series ratings suck every year.

The NBA Finals ratings were abysmal.

The Stanley Cup ratings were abysmal.

The instrument hasn't been invented which can measure my disinterest in whether the MLB World Series ratings are going to be good.  Casual fans are not tuning in for four hours, period.

If it's ATL vs. TB I'll probably not watch any of it.

Unless it's raining or something like that.

It does mean no Dogs or Cheaters in the WS.   A good thing 

[Jay 4,070]

Dodgers vs. Cheaters would be epic

ATL vs. TB = 

 

[Fourts 338]

Idk why, but I still think the LADs come back to win this series.

Close it out tonight.

[CaliAngel 1,629]

I blame Cash, his terrible timing for pulling Snell, and that god awful shift against Springer for all three runs the Astros have scored so far this inning. 

Abysmal situational management. Gotta give your ace putting up 0 runs a chance to get out of it.

What a stupid move. Managers are ruining postseason baseball.

[Taylor 16,450]

I didn't know Cash Considerations was managing a team.
