MLB Postseason Thread - Money can't buy playoff apperances

[Melena]

Welcome to the 2023 MLB Playoffs where the three highest spending teams all failed to make it. And for the first time in god knows when, a combination of the Yankee's/Red Sox/Cardinals all failed to be playing baseball in October.

In the AL West, you had the Astro's begrudgingly take the crown, while the Rangers back in as WC5, and despite having a chance at the division with 2 games to go, Seattle dick punches it's fans again and misses out.

In the AL Central, you have the Twins the best of the worst, and come in on an 0-18 streak of playoff games. They can breathe easy though as their daddy, the Yankee's are not around.

AL East has the surprising upstarts of the Orioles taking the crown, and the Rays right on their heels.

NL West has Fuck the Dodgers winning the crown, though 3/5 of their starting rotation is completely dead, and 1/2 of their remaining rotation is Playoff Kershaw. Stay tuned to see how Dave Roberts fucks this up.

Behind them is the Diamondbacks, who like the Marlins, are just happy to be here.

Brewers win a god awful NL Central, but have probably the healthiest starting rotation in the NL. If only their hitting was half as good as their pitching.

NL East has the Braves taking the crown, winning 100+ yet again, with probably the most dangerous offense in these playoffs, followed by a Phillies team lead by a gimped Harper and Schwarber Bombs.

Jinxing it now. Braves will take the NL, and Orioles win the AL Crown.

World Series will be Braves in 6.

Damn, bro didn't even mention the 2023 WS Champion Toronto Blue Jays.

Also why the fuck is this game starting at 4:30.

[synistar]

You mean 4 of 5 Dodger starters are dead. 3 physically (Buheler, May, Gonsolin) and 1 legally (Urias, though 2 technically with LA eating Bauer's salary)

Kershaw only threw 131 IP followed by rookies Bobby Miller (124) Michael Grove (69) and Emmet Sheehan (60). Not counting the 64IP from Lance Lynn because he's likely #4 on this playoff rotation.

Somehow the bullpen turned it around from being one of the worst to one of the best

LOL, no lie I completely forgot as that team choked just a little bit less than Seattle did.

[Obsidian]

It's fine, they've continued the choking into Game 1. It's big brain though, just lulling the Twins into a false sense of security.

I like the title.

Because I can't find a video of it:

good idea putting chapman in the 8th, doesn’t think it’s a save situation

[Krandor]

Oh shit the twins won a playoff game, good for them

[Krandor]

There's no way the replay center is incompetent enough to let this HPB stand

Edit : they are in fact not incompetent, this time

Thanking the fans would honestly make it worse. They're probably going to more or less maintain complete silence on a PR front until they leave. If they can also find a way to field an even worse/cheaper team for next season they absolutely will as well

Just saw the Siri error and wild throw lmao. Stupid bozo

Tampa Bay down 5-0 facing elimination in the top of the 5th. This is nice.

The flappy birds have finally scored a run

Devil Rays are not birds

[Xno Kappa]

Rays and blue jays both possibly getting swept in the wild card round warms the cockles of my heart in this cold lifeless world that is called New York sports.

It’s fucking stupid how day and night these crowds are. Demolish the Trop already.
