Fun stat. Since 2008 the Milwaukee Brewers have made the playoffs 6 times, all 6 teams to beat them in the playoffs made the world series and 5 won it.

So yeah might be the Dbacks year

I am pretty shocked they swept the Dodgers. I was hoping they could compete with them, but to sweep them? With ease it appeared? Crazy. Next up: Braves.

Would be cool to see them and the Orioles in the World Series....two teams that haven't been in awhile.

And if they DID win the WS, who would have said a month ago that the DBack would win another championship before the Suns won one.

How many years since they have even made the playoffs?

Orioles are already eliminated.

As a Padres fan, I'm just happy the Dodgers got swept. Their tears bring me joy.

Not quite certain the Braves can pull it off, but with Strider pitching tonight there might be a decisive game 5. If Phillies didn’t blow last couple innings of game 2 we’d be talking about another sweep. Both Braves & Dodgers have the best offense in baseball. Pretty remarkable what AZ/Phillies are doing so far. Also, I think our last postseason birth was in 2017.


It's also nice the DBacks get their pitchers some rest. I haven't watched any baseball for a while but if every NLCS game is on a regular network, I will watch quite a bit. Baseball playoffs can get really exciting.

lets go!! I don't know many players as I casually watch the Dbacks throughout the season but these games have been great! Love watching my dodger friends melt down on social media.

DBacks in the NLCS, Chargers vs Cowboys, and Suns/Blazers preseason.

Kind of hard to prioritze the Suns/Blazers with the other two, even though I want to see it. At least it starts later, but of course the 1st quarter is when the starters play, and that will be down the stretch of those other games.
