2025 PLAYOFFS!

[SoulfishHawk]

Well, I think it's f'ing dumb. You make the playoffs; you should at least get 1 game at home if you get it to game 3. Stupid format.

Personally I'm okay with it. You have to reward the better teams. And in a three game series, you can't do the first two for the better seeded team and then do game 3 for the underdog. And they definitely aren't doing home-away-home.

Simple answer: win your division.

In 2022 we went to Toronto as the WC and swept the Jays.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Doesn't matter, I just personally think it's stupid. Oh well, not our problem, and not even semi-important. I just like to bitch about stuff I think is stupid

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Hope Boston wins tonight for a laugh.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Oh man, just listening to NY radio tomorrow on iHeart would be amazing.

 

[NoGain]

I was just going to ask if it's understood that we want the Yankees to lose.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It's very understood, and the world would be a better place if they are done tonight.

 

[Ruminator]

It would be a double-awesome-wowzers-amazing deal if Yankees lose. First, Astros, then Yankees. I'm still celebrating Astros' elimination and am expecting a parade just for that. But if Yankees lose too, then definitely a huge all-day parade for those!

Edit: Then again, similar to DET-CLE, it'd be nice to see BOS-NYY to go all three games as well, since we'll eventually be playing one of 'em. Tire 'em out as much as possible. Just win the series, BOS.

 

[Bobblehead]

Really want the sliding Detroit team to beat Clev..I'm not sure that's going to happen.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

M's are better than both, went 4-2 against both, doesn't really matter. But I guess if I HAD TO choose one, I'd rather play Detroit.
Still nervous about Skubal, dude is ridiculous.

Here's to hoping game 3 goes 16 innings

Update: Listening to 710 and Shannon Drayer says it sounds like they are thinking Woo pitches in game 3 or 4.

We have the depth to push Woo back. I’m going to root for Cleveland tomorrow, don’t want to see Skubal.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm legit to the point where I don't care who they play. BUT............not facing Skubal would be just fine with me.

Man I knew Yankee Stadium had a short porch but it looks like a friggin tee-ball field on tv. No wonder they jack so many bombs

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Red sox pulling their pitcher already in the 3rd. Only threw 40 pitches. Tied 2-2

Fenway is like that as well in person. Feels tiny in comparison to T-Mobile Park. It's a really cool stadium though, you really feel the history of generations of fans that have went there.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Wyman and Bob making it sound (not saying this is how it will be) like it will be:

GAME 1: GILBERT
GAME 2: CASTILLO
GAME 3: WOO
GAME 4: KIRBY

If you look at Castillo's numbers at home, they are VERY good. Not sure how it will shake out, but I don't mind that. However, IF the M's were to go win the first 2 games? I'd go with Kirby in game 3 and give Woo extra rest and have him go game 4.

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

I've always wondered why they made T-Mobile Park a pitchers park vs hitters when they built it. Was it solely for Griffey? (who barely played there).

 

[SoulfishHawk]

One of the MANY reasons Naylor has become my favorite player is that he said it's a great park to hit in. And his numbers show it.
