General 2022 MLB Postseason Thread

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

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

Braves losing certainly makes the Mets season seem more tolerable? Like both teams battled frantically all season to win the division, only to be chased away after 3/4 postseason games. There really is something about peaking at the right time.

boone is getting absolutely buried for not bringing in clay holmes; if the yanks lose this series i think he’s toast

Dodgers kind of blew the top of the seventh, bases loaded and only one run scored. Of course the Padres make them pay by coming back in the bottom of the inning.

Wow

Always a happy day

The goose is the new black cat

Preparing for a lot of think pieces about how the regular season is too long and doesn't even matter that much now, why even win 100 games when your season can be over in 3 or 4 games, shouldn't MLB adopt a premier league style format, etc

Eventually this Dodgers run will end and they'll be a third place team and someone will write a great book about how they blew it every year in the playoffs and were part of I don't know how many "biggest upsets ever" games and series.

I really don't think you can explain it through bad luck. They play poorly and make bad decisions. Like tonight, the Soto stolen base was because of horrible defense, they simply weren't concentrating out there. That cannot happen in that situation. And once the comeback was complete they looked lost at the plate, you could see they'd basically given up

i was rooting for both the phillies and the padres but yeah i think when the 87 and 89 win teams make it to the LCS in a league with 3 100-win teams, that's a bad sign and something needs to change

Houston vs Seattle was 6:22

Just checked out of curiosity -- WAS vs SF Game 2 NLDS, which was also decided by a HR in the 18th inning, lasted 6:23.

holy shit guardians

and holy shit HOU-SEA lol. that’s real baseball baby

Didn't stick around for the Padres' comeback, but that's amazing. As much as I want to see Dusty Baker win one, Guardians-Padres would be something.
