MLB 2024

Postseason is here! 🎉

I like Detroit and Baltimore to win the AL Wild Card series.

Detroit played really well in September and August. And not just against bad teams. They have beaten some legit good teams. You can never count out the Astros, but I really like how Detroit is looking right now. If things keep clicking for them, I could see them going on a run similar to Arizona last year.

It actually would not shock me if KC upsets Baltimore, but I’m still leaning towards Baltimore advancing in what I am hoping will be an exciting series. It won’t be easy for the O’s.

I’m the NL, I’ve got Milwaukee and San Diego moving on. I may eventually regret saying it, but I really think this could be the year for the Padres. They have the talent. It seems like it’s coming together.
 
So the Cruds are keeping Mo in charge and putting Bloom in charge of the minors until he takes over as POBO in 26. Gonna be another dumpster fire of a season coming up. Ugh!
I don't get this move at all!! What's the one constant of the Cards fall from elite to also ran. Mo! And what do they not change. Mo! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Kudos to the Mets, they made the Brewers look like they were the ones fighting for their lives over the weekend before flying down to Atlanta for a double header and flying back. The Brewers started well, but should have had a much bigger first inning. Once they didn't get any more than 2 when they still had the bases loaded with one out, I had my doubts. Then Winker came through in the second, and I knew it was over. We did get the lead again, but that couldn't last. Then we couldn't get another base runner. Same old Brewers.

It’s great the Tigers are in the hunt.

I hope the Padres advance. Nothing better than a Pads Dodgers playoff series. Go Dodgers!

Wait. I thought Roberts was still managing the Dodgers. That’s a textbook Robertsesqe playoff move.
It's not like the Braves had a lot of options.
That was a stellar performance by Padres starter Mike King, just stellar. 5 hits in 7 innings, 12 K's and no walks. The way he was pitching once that Tatis blast left the park (how was that only 415 feet?) in the 1st it was all she wrote.

The 5th inning was especially ugly for the Brewers!

As long as the Astros get knocked out, I'm good with it. And the Yankees. Go Mets!
 
Aww, I missed this the other day. Love me some Kyle Hendricks. I get why he's done in Chicago, but he gave Cubs fans so much and he finished strong.




It was very good. Kyle was dealing and maintained his level of class throughout. Nice move by Counsell was to let Tommy Hottovy go out to lift him when it was time to come out, those two have a lot of history together. Watching all his teammates address him when he came out and after the game was pretty special - the man commands a LOT of respect.

Him being done with the Cubs isn't for sure for sure, at least not yet, but it's pretty much for sure.
