Playoffs discussion 2020

[NinersSBChamps]

The Astros are better than their record indicates. They were never in real danger of missing out on the playoffs. I am sure they knew that and sort of just slept walk through regular season. It’s not too surprising they all of a sudden are playing well.

Would be really nice to sweep and not have to worry about a game 4 starter. Would be nice to see SD take LAD to 5 games as well.

It's probably Opener vs Opener for both teams if it gets to Game 4.

Athletics were down 7-4 in the 7th I believe and won today. Rays are now up 2-1 over the Yankees. Making them either 10-3 or 11-3 against them this season. Rays have their number.

Kershaw was dealing through five. Back to back home runs from Machado and Hosmer and we have ourselves a ball game.

What a grab from Bellinger!

A Dodgers-Yankees World Series would be such a disappointment and just more evidence that baseball needs some kind of salary cap.

Don't think you have to worry about the Yankees making it

Hope not.

If they win tonight, they're making the WS.

So what does Emma do when we win it all this year?

Braves had 4 shut outs in regular season (60 games). They have 4 shut outs in post season (5 games)

Rays going with Glasnow on short rest and Yankees going with Cole on short rest. I get from the Yankees perspective, but Snell seems like the better option here does he not?

Not sure what the career numbers look like vs NYY, but I’m sure they know better than we do

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I imagine it’s all hands on deck for the Rays. Snell and Glasnow will probably both pitch. Does not make a difference who starts. Maybe Snell is more comfortable coming out of the bullpen. Speaking of Snell does he still want to sit out this season?

Any guesses on what our start times will be for NLCS? Hoping we don't get late games but expecting we do.

The ALCS is in California. I’d expect those games to start later than than our games.

I'd guess 8:05 p.m. or so.

I mean the Dodgers were playing in Arlington and still got the latest start time this past round. They had the games in LA and SD starting at 3 and 7. So not sure that will matter, probably more about media market of the teams.
