MLB playoffs

[glenn57]

Anyone following this. Best of 7 goes to the world series.

Phillies and San Diego duking it out in the national league.

Yankees and Houston in the American league.

Wish neither the Yankees or Houston could win, but I'll go with the cheaters, Houston cause I don't like the Yankees.

Kinda hoping San Diego does it.

I could care less although I would like to see the Yankees lose out. 

[KEN W]

I'm in favor of anyone except the Yankees.

Looks like Philly/Padres will be 1-1.

[glenn57]

Been fun watching Verlander pitch. 10 K's and his pitches are moving all over!

Still 1-1.

[Steve-o]

The Yankees haven't been in the World Series since 2009 - they won.

The Astros have been in the World series 3 times in the past 5 seasons - winning (I mean) cheating in 2017.

I'm OK with the Yankees getting back to the series again.  Judge is a monster and fun to watch.

I hate it that the ump is calling all of those low, out of the zone pitches strikes.  Announcers just commented that as the game goes on, this ump's strike zone is getting bigger and bigger.

Everybody hates Houston for the cheating scandal. Yet there are only 3 players left from that team.

To those that hate the Astros what are your feelings on Rose, Bonds, Clemens, A-Fraud getting into the HOF?

[Steve-o]

Even if the cheaters have mostly moved on, I'm ready to see a different team - even if it is the Yankees (again). 

Nope, nope, nope, and NOPE!

[dutchboy]

Houston just won game 1. Wouldn't surprise me to see Houston sweep or win in 5.

I hope so!! And I'm with Steveo!👍

There's no love lost on NYY here & even less on their fans , besides I'm a Dusty Baker fan.............................so go Astros. I do like watching Judge play though as he seems like a pretty humble guy, was kind of a Derek Jeter fan too but that's I far as I go with that bunch. As far as the cheating goes, MLB's own investigation said there was 7 or 8 teams, the BoSox & NYY among them, doing pretty much the same thing back then. I never did read who they all were, but Manfred's office had plenty to say, check the bottom of page 2. https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/mlb/cglrhmlrwwbkacty27l7.pdf

i couldnt stay awake last night to finish watching the game..........i see the Astros beat the bronx bombers again to take a 2-0 lead. the pitching and some of the defensive plays in the field have been pretty awesome to see.

BUT..........the Astros dont seem to be one bit scared of the Yankees...........why do the Twins seems to wither up and fold against them!!!!!!!!

[dutchboy]

Twins haven't had one starter since Santana as good as any of the Astro's top 3-4 starters.

[Gunner55]

  Being the 4th largest market in the country doesn't hurt either. That makes it much easier to pay #1 & #2 starters a little > $40 mil/year combined. With their closer, ex-Twin Ryan Pressly, they could pay a little more than 40% of the Twins entire roster .

I couldn't believe it when I seen Pressely was there closer  I thought when he was with the twins he got shelled 

The announcers made a comment that Houston seen something in the way he had this spin on the ball that made him a good closer.

[Gunner55]

  I think 1 of his 1st years with the Astros he led the AL in saves & has been right up there every year since if he's been healthy all season. Spin rate = pitch movement & that's usually good.

[Gunner55]

The brooms come out & the NYY are done.

[dutchboy]

Will be a fun World Series. Philly needs to get a win or two from Wheeler & Nola or it will be a sweep.

Houston in 6.

[Gunner55]

Philly's bats have been hot, but the Astro's starters will be too much IMO. Having a week between games could hurt the Philly's at the plate too. Astros in 5

[Gunner55]

FYI, WS starts on Fox tonight, 7:03 1st pitch. Verlander vs Nola

[dutchboy]

Unbelievable that Verlander is 0-6 in World Series starts.

Pizza & Windsor will be ready for first pitch. Astro's in 6.

glad to see your stepping up in your refreshment category!!!!!!!! 

[Gunner55]

    Nothin wrong with that friendly stuff db likes. I pick up a 12 for a change of pace every now & then too. Just grabbed a jug of Windsor on Wednesday as well.

That would last me the next 3 games Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. With some to spare.
