 While I agree, TB has the best chance out of the 4 visiting teams followed by the Phillies. 

[Scraps 13798]

Pujols hitting 2nd lol

Would make sense against a LHP, soooo... maybe Zach Wheeler is going to switch arms today?

[Beau Vine 55859]

Cardinals-Phillies is really interesting because Nola & Wheeler are way better than anything StL has, but that's literally Philly's only advantage.

DONG

jose!!

[Surly Bevo 25718]

That is close but looks like he touched.

[Beau Vine 55859]

It fucking blows my mind that Doug Eddings gets the plate for a playoff game, let alone the first playoff game.

Fun fact: Cleveland is the youngest team in MLB this season.  

You'll never guess that last time that the youngest team in MLB made the playoffs.  That team actually won the World Series, and the really unbelievable thing is that was the only WS they won.  

Spoiler

1986 Mets

That's what happens when both team suck at hitting.  

Neither of them will probably score more than 4 runs in any game they play...and that counts whoever moves on.

Yeah.  Reminds me of 2017 WS Game 1.  And then Game 2 and Game 5 happened.

[Helobious 9817]

Tampa better win in 15 innings tomorrow.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

I love watching baseball between teams with almost indistinguishable uniforms.    
 

Uniform monotony sucks.  They should allow one red team in each league and one blue team.  The oldest team gets to choose.   Everyone else go pick something original.

Remember when Fozzz told us Bieber was done after 4.2 in his first start this season? 

[tx 3 putt 78668]

 

[ztejas 44223]

Isn't DeGrom their best starter right now? Why not throw him G1?

[ztejas 44223]

Tough call there for the Cards. 

[WBT 20966]

Arenado rather crushed that .840 xBA

[Surly Bevo 25718]

Yea have not been watching closely so didn't realize wind was such a factor, when that came off the bat seemed sure fire to go.

[ztejas 44223]

Announcers thought it was gone.

His ERA is about 6 in September.  

[Surly Bevo 25718]

Phillies in a jam here.

[ztejas 44223]

Ouch. 

[Surly Bevo 25718]

And Pujols may have left them off the hook

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Sea/Tor underway on ESPN. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

1-0 M's. 

[WBT 20966]

It's that man again.  3-0 Seattle 

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

3-0 M's, fucking boom. 

[tx 3 putt 78668]

M's jumping on it !

[Beau Vine 55859]

Cal Raleigh is my boy!  Lefty-hitting catcher!

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Lulz at red ass Manoah getting rocked.  

[Surly Bevo 25718]

Cards yak up 2-0

[Beau Vine 55859]

Everyone said that Juan Yepez would be the key to this series.  

[Surly Bevo 25718]

With those shadows it's a shitty time to need a few hits.

But....stick your bat out and things sometimes happen

[Surly Bevo 25718]

Pressure has burst the pipe.

[shadow_operative2.0 16255]

Quite the meltdown in progress by StL. 

[Surly Bevo 25718]

Uhhh so you might want to go get him....kind of shit that breaks a pitcher.

[BigOrange1 6611]

arod and kay can't tell that they are obviously stalling for time to warm up a new pitcher?
