looking at that i got temporarily distracted trying to rearrange the playoffs by team logo. obviously st. louis and san diego go together, but the cubs should be playing the reds and the braves should be playing the marlins. white sox-a's is ok but white sox-yankees would be better.

HELL NO: Yankees, Astros, Cubs, Marlins, Braves

why meh on the reds?
because of the brennamans? honestly i'd love to see them make a flukey run, get some Joey Votto action in there while his body is still partly functioning
― idkwtf (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 16:50 (three years ago) link
also why do people dislike the marlins? just ownership/management?
― na (NA), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 16:56 (three years ago) link
honest question, i barely have any idea who's on the team but i always like an underdog
― na (NA), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 16:57 (three years ago) link
ownership/management, stadium ripoff, have already won twice in their relatively short existence, florida
it's probably hypocritical that i sort of like the rays, but i feel like they're less blatant about being cheap and they have not yet ripped off taxpayers for a ridiculous ballkpark
xxp love votto, but i just never really liked the reds. say no to chris sabo, marge schott, those vest-like unis and david bell imo

The Twins thing is unbelievable (I knew about their Yankees problem, but had no idea). That is exceptionally hard to do in baseball. Sooner or later, someone--especially on a playoff team (this isn't the '88 Orioles)--is going to throw a good game.

I'd say the Reds hitting performance in this years playoffs is another fluky record, going 22 innings without scoring a run.
Of course, I would figure that this years Reds team batting average being something stupid like .214 is probably part of the problem.
This is the year of the most fugly pro baseball I can ever remember. Unwatchable.
