CrazyCarl40 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 How wild is the two NL tiebreaker games?? 162 games weren’t enough. It’ll be interesting to see how the reams play this because the losers then play each other for the right to play the NL Central winner but then need to win to even get in the division series. Who do you guys have winning tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Watch the Buehler kid. He is the real deal. It will be interesting because the Rockies have already faced him 4 or 5 times already this year. And several times in the past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ERA on the road is sub 3 and is 2-0 in three starts against the Dodgers with a 2.57 ERA. Should be a good one. I for one didn’t expect the Brewers to be this good this year.

Scott Dierking Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If I am the Cubs, I would want the Dodgers, as I believe their staff is less rested and Wood probably starts. For the Rockies, I believe that Freeland would get the start. Much rather face Wood than Freeland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 So who do we think wins the Wild Card games? I’m going to say Cubs because Lester is a big game pitcher. I don’t think the AL teams have announced starters yet, but it seems like a foregone conclusion we’re on the road to another Sox/Yanks October showdown.

Beerfish Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Baseball playoffs are the most stupid thing on the face of the earth. These guys play like 35 ex game, 162 reg season games and then one game playoffs. Moronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree the season is far too long and the playoffs go far too deep into the fall, last night’s game was awesome and it’s what makes baseball playoffs among the best (2nd to hockey).

Maddon’s the type of guy that is ideal for a young and inexperienced clubhouse. For a seasoned team I’m not sure he’s necessary. He sure does make a lot of weird decisions.

He is really (Theo) a phenomenal asset to the Cubs organization but he made some bad choices in 2018 that had everything to do with many of the situations Maddon took heat on. My only regret is that the bull pen didn't get exploited and got to hide behind some circumstance driven stats that were far from their reality. Joe is money in so many ways and I hope we have him till he leaves the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the AL is real top heavy, with some brutally bad teams at the bottom, but the 4 remaining are all so good. I agree, this will be an entertaining couple weeks.

Baseball is nuts in that it goes from the most boring/pointless of the 4 sports from April to August, then starts heating up in September, and then becomes the most interesting thing in sports in October. I'm so excited for the next 4 weeks of baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 I can’t believe it’s the first time the Sox and Yanks are meeting in the playoffs since the worst playoff collapse in major sports history. Anyway, predictions anyone? I’ve got Sox over Yanks, Astros over Indians, Dodgers over Braves and Rockies over Brewers. That last one I’m not 100% on. All of them will be close series though.
