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.

Houston just won the WS again last year? They've easily been the best franchise in baseball for a decade.

Hopefully Astros make it a series everything has been lopsided so far and we've had no do or die games.
dagger wrote:I noted in another thread how the Jays had the second worst first inning run production in all of MLB. They were middle of the pack in first inning .BA and OBP, but clearly, there was a BARISP failure, and it persisted in the third inning of games when the top of the order tended to come up again.
Well, Texas showed the value of hitting up the opposing starter early. Basically, they don't win yesterday without a huge first inning. The Jays spent a whole season trying to wait out starters so they could beat up on bullpens (where they were good run producers). But it's a nine inning game, not a four inning game.
