General 2022 MLB Postseason Thread

I love that the inspection Buck instigated didn't rattle him at all.

Per Rob Thomson: Phillies reliever David Robertson strained his right calf jumping up in the air when Bryce Harper homered against the Cards last round. He’s out for the division series.

this is 37

Whenever I see one of those home plate celebrations I always remember Kendrys Morales breaking his foot celebrating a grand slam and missing most of that season and all of the next. I also remember the Cubs celebrating David Bote’s walkoff grand slam and my son asking me, “why are they beating him up?”

ok i got them all wrong last time but here are my guesses for this round: atlanta in 4, houston in 3, cleveland in 4, dodgers in 5

my hottest takes are that cleveland can take down the yankees and that the padres will make it tough for the dodgers

Just saw the broadcasting schedule and Joe Davis is going to call all games. The reason why I bring this up is because Joe Davis is Fox #2 booth for the NFL. So I thought Fox would do the same thing and have him do his football games as they did with Joe Buck. I think Davis (also Dodgers play by play man) is a lot more invested in baseball then Buck was in his later years.

Tito bringing down Los Yanquis (again) would be delicious.

uh

When you're talking about Shohei you're usually on your knees, though, right?

Kinda sad seeing aces get clobbered in the playoffs. There's really no order in the universe

Excite too see what 3 days off did for everyone’s timing

xp didn’t Verlander also get lit up by the Giants in 2012?

This day has not gone as planned so far and I love it.

I’m definitely enjoying this Mariners game

Suddenly an Astros game

wau

and thus robbie ray is denied his first career save

Wow.

my boy Yordan

Costas is so pleasant to listen to

Bit late, but watched a couple of the early innnings of that Toronto/Seattle game and was WTF the next day when I saw the Jays lost. Ouch. Sorry for the Toronto fans, that one probably hurt a bit.

I guess today was a bit of payback to Seattle.

Got to wonder if this is FINALLY the year Dusty wins one. I really don't want Houston to win jack squat.

I'm sure MLB would LOVE to have a Cleveland/San Diego World Series. I'm sure that would get ratings almost as good as a Seinfeld re-run.

I was bowling but saw the Alvarez HR. What a hitter--he's already Edgar/Ortiz level (his 187 OPS+ this year is better than Edgar's high of 185 and Ortiz's of 173), though obviously he'll have to keep it up for a few seasons.

Wow crazy, homer turned into an out at first!

I really felt bad for the Mariners...kidding!

"Donaldson singled to deep right, Donaldson out stretching at second" is...a stretch.

Who is the color man in this Guardians/Yankees game? He sucks.

Also: I hate everybody.

Costas is so pleasant to listen to

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not...I was going to say, I'm quite sure I'm the only one here who's glad to hear Costas's voice.

I’m serious about BC he has the deep well of knowledge that isn’t showy and he has a languid pace that is enjoyable. Ron darling is doing color and while i love him on the mets games i think he changes his energy for the national games and starts to suck

Bob is a boomer redass re steroid era so pobody’s nerfect

Totally agree about Costas' virtues.

xp didn’t Verlander also get lit up by the Giants in 2012?

Game one 2012 World Series Verlander 4 innings 5 runs, two home runs from the Panda, and lost to Zito. Game four he pitched better but can't remember how long he went. Game went 10 innings.

wowww Bellinger

this game is lots of fun

It has been.

Go Padres

LMAO never seen that before

TV: “The duck, which is actually a goose, was escorted off the field during the break”

What actually happened: pic.twitter.com/wFbIukbPwn

Goose was obviously a Padres fan

As he was escorted off the field, the Goose was overheard complaining about players today.

lol i was yelling at the broadcasters "that a goose you fucking clowns! how can you not tell this?!"

what happens if the goose honks at the second baseman as he's running backwards to catch a pop up, causing him to drop it? does that count as an error? if not, does the goose get an outfield assist? if so, does the goose get a BB-Ref page?

if a fielder misses a ball because of the sun in their eyes it is NOT ruled an error, so i assume a goose would fall under the same category of natural causes

Turner reached on infield single (Goose)

It would be a fowl ball.

o fuk

Don't agree with walking a batter into scoring position.
