I'm so jealous of teams that score runs.

Kershaw choking in the playoffs as usual. That was a disaster inning.

He's arguably the best regular season pitcher of this generation, but he turns into a potato every postseason. It's so bizarre. This is the kind of stuff analytics aren't able to capture.

Two full runs higher, just incredible.

Some of these lineups remaining are absolutely stacked compared to Jays.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

As expected, the Orioles' garbage pitching got completely exposed in the playoffs. No clue why they didn't add at the deadline when they were having the kind of year they were having.

They were the best team in the AL (along with TB) for most of the season.

As a casual baseball fan who starts paying more attention during the playoffs I find myself thinking, "damn, I kinda like this Rangers team".

The Rangers had a better run differential and played in a similarly tough division. They're the better team. They just got really cold over the last 1.5 months of the season. Baltimore is also super young and inexperienced while Texas is a veteran team.

Baltimore's management thinks they're gonna have seasons like this every year. It simply doesn't work like that. They should have added when they had the chance instead of going into the playoffs with a bunch of scrub SPs.

Pablo Lopez goes 7 innings scoreless. Imagine having a team who would allow such an act.

Phillies are going back to the WS. They look like the Jays all season but then somehow find an extra gear in the playoffs.

I still think teams like the Braves and Dodgers who clinch the division in August every year put themselves into a tough spot as they then enter the playoffs cold.

Wheeler with the no hitter through 5. He's almost into the 3rd time through the order though, so presumably Atkins thinks it is time to pull him.

The Braves are back. What a collapse from the Phillies.
