General 2022 MLB Postseason Thread

Wait, are we the baddies?

Love the Phillies beating on the Barves.

to me it's merely a sign of how low i will stoop to see the horseshit white-flight racist braves fucked over

pretty low, it turns out

These NL games have been excellent

as mentioned earlier, i fully support the padres going apeshit and acquiring every decent ballplayer in sight. they absolutely should do that!

but also they finished *22* games behind the dodgers, and went 5-14 against them head-to-head. we should be celebrating the dodgers' incredible season/run/decade instead of whatever happens this weekend

Nah, fuck the Dodgers

(Staying on brand) and jealous of their success.

I'd kind of love seeing a Cleveland-San Diego WS...I must have some secret grudge against baseball; I like it when the law of unintended consequences leaves the sport squirming. (The unintended consequences a by-product of expanded playoffs--which, the catch-22, can't be avoided.)

Caught the end of Padres vs Dodgers. The crowd in SD was insane, what an amazing atmosphere. Makes me want to see them close out the series tomorrow.

And in a season with three NL teams winning more than 100 games, we are really close to an NLCS with an 87 vs 89 win team.

Phillies haven’t won a home playoff game in 11 years, the Padres haven’t won one with fans in the building in since ‘98. Those crowds certainly were hungry.

(xpost) Remember the '87 Twins? 85-77 on the year, outscored 806-786.

Love the Phillies beating on the Barves.

Phillies look like this year's getting-hot-at-the-right-time team--maybe Harper makes up for the year he had to watch the Nationals win.

Padres too

"Dancing On My Own" by Robyn must be some sort of theme song for the Phillies this year.

Michael Tucker tied for the AL lead in game-winning RBI...had no idea they still kept track of that.

Really weird watching the Mariners broadcast and the centre field camera is somehow all fogged up, making it look like they’re showing two different games whenever they switch angles

never going to stop complaining about these busted green screen ads, absolutely nutso how these took over baseball broadcasts with zero pushback

xp, I turned on the game late and wondered if that was fog or fireworks smoke until I saw a different angle.

The digital ads will have gone too far if/when they start animating the fuckers.

Great game going on...I've never seen so many guys HPB'd on the hands--three times today, I think.

Gif I hate the Astros

Fuck the ‘stros

Hit ‘em

Altuve duermes con mi perro

This is my first time watching McKenzie pitch what a delightful looking lad on the mound i wish him great health and success and i hope he never gains an ounce of weight

I hate baseball

These games have a be averaging four and half hours.

Not every game is a grim 0-0 13-inning battle of attrition, and that's a good thing, but I love the few that are

At least calstars can breathe again

this is all fun and games until robbie ray is the only guy left in the seattle pen

14th inning go fuck yourself

Not complaining about length, just an observation. These games have been fun.

Still happy there is no ghost runner in these playoffs

If this goes to the 16th, I may bail. I can only invest so much time in a game not involving the Jays and not a WS game.

"First post season game to go into the 16th inning "

Gets out of it

This is insane.

altuve in this series: 0-for-16, 6 K, 1 BB

JOE BUCK: Welcome to the top of the 47th

[Sun keeps getting bigger]
BUCK: yes
[World engulfed by flames]
BUCK: oh god yes

Make it a double

well at least it was an extremely mariners way for that to happen

Basically played the astros to a draw. Not bad

lmao fuck baseball

Game one today was a tie. Game two was a 1-0 loss.

That was incredible...I wanted Naylor to get the winning hit (Mississauga!), but he was the wrong guy, a long-swing power hitter. Needed one of those pesky Guardian hitters...five singles, unheard of today.

BASEBALL IS THE GREATEST GODDAMN SPORT IN THE WORLD
