There's no way that Arizona belongs in the World Series.

 

I keep telling myself that...

They're a weird team.  They got outscored during the regular season and if they win tomorrow and get into the WS, in all likelihood they will have gotten outscored in the Championship Series, too.

They don't do anything particularly well at the plate or on the mound.  They were 7th in the NL in runs scored and 10th in runs allowed.  They did make the fewest errors in the NL, so that's....something, I guess?

But if they do somehow manage to win the WS, they'll be one of the dullest teams to do it in recent years, for sure.

Insane Alec Bohm keeps getting penciled in the 4 spot behind harper

Another HR for Texas. 

Houston is hosed in my opinion, but stranger things have happened!

Garcia with a grand slam!

In 2016, Garcia appeared in only 4 games for the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants and was released from his contract after getting no hits in seven at-bats. He then defected and signed with the Cardinals.

Trashtros eliminated!

Another of so many ways Manfredtoinette has ruined baseball.

Agreed 100%.

[arch stanton]

Come on now. The LCS were three 90 win teams and a 84 win team. If you're letting 12 teams into the post season you can't be surprised when one of the supposed weaker ones has one fewer bullpen implosion or one extra 2 out solo home run and wins it all

Baseball is a beautiful game.

That’s what happens when you go 0-4 at home in a playoff series.

He can't control who wins a playoff series.

Yea blaming Manfred is fucking dumb.

All knotted up now on the Bohm home run!

[angelsfan100]

Rangers are probably going to sweep either of these teams. If not they'll take them down in 5 games.

Okay, Schwarber with the leadoff double!

You got a nice stadium over here, @CaliAngel

@m0nkey Can't tell if sarcasm? If not, appreciate it.

Honestly, besides the ugly roof (which any roof on a 25 year old indoor stadium looks ugly) I like it. Left field bleachers are fun. I like how when you walk in you're on the concourse, and it's a nice trip around the stadium.

With the roof open those big square ads rotate open as well, and it's beautiful during a night game with the AZ sunset sky.

I live in "Dback country". It's kind of a joke of a franchise, and I have no idea how they're still here to be honest. The owners have been begging the city and the county to gift them a new stadium. And I kind of want them to lose tonight because if they make the WS it'll only empower their owners to exploit the city further. There really aren't many Dback fans here either. It's mostly Dodger fans and Cubs fans. I still remember going to see the Angels play them in 2015 and most of the stadium was Angels fans. When teams like the Dodgers, Giants and Cubs aren't in town their attedance is really bad.
