General 2022 MLB Postseason Thread

I’d say Mets fans are in a pretty bad place emotionally right now, but it’s a place we know well. We can only dream of the consistency of the Cardinals (one losing season since 1999). I remember going to a Red Sox game the season after they had won their 4th title in 14 years. The Red Sox were shutout that day, and yet it seemed like no one in the crowd was the least bit bitter or hurt about it. I could not relate.

No ghost runner in the play offs so this TB-CLE game could go on for a bit.

Holy shit Oscar Gonzales’ walk up song is the SpongeBob Square Pants theme!!

0-0 and shadows creeping in only now, in the tenth? Yeah, this could definitely go on for a while.

all these batters are excellent at striking out

what a play

i didnt even think of that but thank fuck they dont do the ghost runner bs in the playoffs

12th inning? Just tuned in and thank God for no ghost runner.

Haha yeap

can't remember ever seeing a batter get a platinum sombrero in the playoffs

it's kluberin' time

They've got to be close to a record for postseason games (can't find anything online...longest game before first run, I mean).

I went upstairs to read during the 6th hoping to come down when this was over and watch the Mariners. That was like three hours ago? Jfc

FINALLY

i was worried they were going to run out of Ks and start writing them

spongebob ftw

We are dying at SpongeBob guy and every time there’s a shot of someone in the crowd congratulating him

From the city that immortalized the bat-flip, that was one great bat-flip!

This is a bloodbath, tomorrow should be interesting

Raleigh looks like he wants to lie down and cry

Sorry, gif from here

Merrifield gets drilled in the head and the Jays aren’t happy.

Can almost guarantee you there will be a Mariner hit later in this game. #MLB #Postseason pic.twitter.com/FIVROfawwK

gausman seems like a prime balk meltdown candidate

🤞🏻

Congrats on advancing to meet the Yankees, team that won a series with 2 runs in 24 innings.

sorry, 3 runs

Smooth

Crazy

!!!!

Genuinely thought the sound had cut out

What the hell

Hopefully he’s not too badly hurt

Even without the collision, it looks like that ball drops

First game of the day can't score a run. Second game will be decided by double digits. Baseball

man this would be a very brutal way for the jays to lose

Unbelievable

Congratulations Seattle

fuckin brutal

Kirby did so well to keep the lead, incredible game

1 - 1

I want the Mets because Sam Diego has no chance against the bums. Tho SD is peaking at the right time

Petty I know.

I’m at a Boston bar with a bunch of Mets fans and the mood is all over the place.

honestly love bringing in diaz there. we’ll see if it pays off

Huge add ons

ok now I kind of can’t believe buck brought him back in for the 8th

Agree, that move makes no sense to me either.

phillies vs barves is a real who-do-i-hate-less conundrum

Phillies

I guess I'm rooting for Cleveland now, but it's zombie-rooting.

tough finish for yadi and pujols. yadi the best catcher in smokies - and st louis - history.

yeah this is fucked up

rude even

how dare they

Everyone I've spoken to where I am is rooting for the Phillies because of Rob Thomson. He was born in Sarnia, but he lives in Sebringville--I drive through there almost every day, about 15 minutes away.

Justin Verlander has made 7 career starts in the World Series...4 with Houston, 3 with Detroit.

(38 IP) 0-6, 5.68 ERA, 24 ER, 35 H, 1.289 WHIP. #RedOctober

adam wainwright is back for another year. it's important

also i was joking about justin verlander sucking, i hope that was clear

directly. into. my veins.

Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman should be fired for this alone.

xp absolutely lost it at “avoiding theatre shootings using the example of Abraham Lincoln”

i do wonder sometimes about my capacity for sadism because every time kay’s voice cracks with pain and anger i’m like “YES”

I’m guessing you enjoyed that 2004 game

cmon

It’s one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. This is like Darth Vader showing stormtroopers video highlights of Luke Skywalker taking out the Death Star exhaust port as inspiration. This is like the old television Joker showing his henchmen video highlights of Batman and Robin beating the POW! OOF! AWK! ZOWIE! out of them as inspiration. This is like the Los Angeles police department showing officers video of The Terminator police station shootout as inspiration.

Amazing.
