Playoffs 2024 discussion 

Post#1 » by Dr Positivity » Thu Oct 10, 2024 10:59 pm

So far I'm enjoying watching Judge and Witt come up seeing if they're going to get out again, Mets have that feel good comeback team of destiny vibe, Padres vs Dodgers south Cali rivarly going to 5 should be fun, and then there's Guardians vs Tigers which is the obvious low ratings one like the Simmons running joke about the first NFL game on Saturday of round 1.

Judge's 2 HRs didn't even look that good off the bat but I guess fly outs for others turning into home runs because of being so strong is how you hit nearly 60.

Stacked rich teams World Series with like 4/5 of the most talented players in the league. MLB needed this one.

My god this board is dead. Atleast my fellow Giant fans kept this place alive while we were relevant.

2 shots so far tonight! Come on AJ why do you want so many people to die? Pretend it's the regular season and that you're an actual MLB hitter for once.

I'm sure Boone showed them the motivational highlights of how the Sawx came back from 0-3 to beat the Yanks years ago...they will be fine.

Do not blame or trouble yourself with such thoughts, for it is not easy to unravel the mysteries of pure evil happening beyond our control - like, for instance...a Dodgers/Yankees WS.

Find comfort in knowing one of them will inevitably lose and either way it's a glorious thing.

If one of them is going to have to win, I would have preferred the Yankees to get swept.

Hey, Aaron Judge actually did something in a high-stakes postseason situation.

Wait, home run celebrations are tolerated now? Slow walks are accepted now? No retaliation anymore? Haven't watched baseball in forever.

I think it's a result of harsher penalties for intentionally throwing at batters.
