2025 Around MLB Playoffs Discussion

This is going to be tough. Need to prevent home runs

Don’t pitch Scherzer or Hoffman.

Did you watch this series lmao? I'd be shocked if we didn't sweep.

Don’t look up Raleigh’s numbers at the RC

It's okay. Vladdy will outplay him.

Vlad’s numbers in Seattle are not great to look at

Trouble lies ahead

Honestly, our path to a WS is clear. Just don't pitch those two. That's it.

Imagine being a Tigers fan watching that game.

What a fraudulent team. The entire second half this season they were so bad. Just lucky they made the playoffs at all and didn't pull a Mets.

To be fair, Seattle had an identical 2nd half season record as the Jays and it took them 15 innings in Game 5 to eliminate this "fraudulent" Detroit team. Thanks to the Tigers, the Mariners was taken to their absolute limit putting well rested Jays in good position for the ALCS.

Watching these offensively challenged teams struggle to score more than 1 or 2 runs is sad.

We've actually been blessed in that regard over the last 15 years. Got Bautista and were able to build a decent offensive team around him most years. Then after that era we got Vladdy and offense has been mostly good since then in this era. Granted not all those teams have been competitive every season, but at least the games aren't super boring to watch.

Why even pitch to cal Raleigh

[spykelee]

What a wild double play in the brewers and dodgers game. At first I thought that was a catch at the fence but they got the call right. I love how fast baseball is when the ball is in play. Unlike our series, this is a great game

[Randle McMurphy]

Dodgers would have absolutely annihilated us in the WS anyway

They coasted all year, easily best team in baseball

[Mehar]

It is nice to see a Starting Pitcher in the playoffs like Snell allowed to pitch 8 Innings. If Schneider was the manager of the Dodgers, and clown Atkins was running things- Snell would have been taken out after 6.

So refreshing to see a pitcher allowed to stay in the game, and not taken it due to "Pitch Counts" or "3rd Time Through the Order Nonsense".

Their rotation is ridiculous Snell/Ohtani/Glasnow/Yamamoto would all probably be the ace of our rotation. Their hitting has been horrific so far but if that ever picks up I cant see us or (more likely) Seattle beating them.

Brewers would have beaten the Jays also, on a bottom tier payroll. Dodgers are spending about 230 million more on payroll than the Brewers this year (lol). Give the Brewers credit for making it this far.

Snell should have pitched the 9th there and the fact that he didn't almost cost them the game

Would have been massively criticized if they didn't get that strikeout
