Re: Around MLB, 2023 edition
Never seen anything like this. 4 solo HRs in the inning. Gabby the stud hits one out only for it to be overturned, then proceeds to hit the next pitch fair.

Who gives a **** about Moreno's 3 home runs this postseason? As long as we have Varsho and his elite defense that's what it's all about!

A 84 win team who the Jays swept with ease is gonna win the WS. What a time.

Houston with a good plan against Sonny Gray.Sit on his breaking ball which he is in love with.
We looked so clueless against him,and our plan was to remove Berrios in the 4th lol.
Hope Shapiros presser is even tougher after tonights results.

It's like everyone woke up and discovered short series MLB playoffs are a crapshoot, which is why just getting in is so important.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Absolutely sick to my stomach seeing moreno dominate like this and then seeing that Shatkins are safe for yet another season. Total clown organisation.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

Both MVP candidates in the NL (Acuna and Betts) have been huge disappointments thus far

AA's team exposed as a 104 win fraud.

Re: Around MLB, 2023 edition
Maybe having a 5 day rest in between end of season, and first round bye isn't such an advantage for first place teams... Not one team with the bye advanced lol.

Re: Around MLB, 2023 edition
Thomson says it wasn't the plan to leave Suarez in as long as they did but that he was pitching so well that they left him in the game longer. What a tactical mind.

Re: Around MLB, 2023 edition
Baseball, I love you, but you're not a serious sport. The 4 remaining teams are basically all wild card teams, 3 of which were within a game of missing the playoffs. The 5 best teams in baseball went 1-12 in the playoffs. It might as well be March Madness. The Braves had the 14th best batting WAR ever, hit the most HRs ever in a season, and except for a Philly error and Austin Riley, they essentially got shut out over four games. It's pointless to ever get invested in a team.

It's always been like March Madness. That's what makes it awesome.

Yea idk, I like justice and substance. This is almost pure chance. What makes baseball awesome is its pastimes qualities, which I'm trying to steer myself back to, because otherwise being a Jays fan is futile.

Then watch Premier League soccer, not baseball. An essential part of baseball has always been about luck (you can hit a 115 mph line drive for an out and just as easily hit a 50 MPH blooper for a hit), it’s part of the draw of it.
