Yay. We’re the 8th best team in the AL

Boo. We’re the 8th worst team in the AL.

1st time in franchise history to make the playoffs 4 straight years.  Technically.

Gotta love the 7 seed being at 10 games over and 6 seed at .500

A’s are going to fuck up and take the #2 seed and get the 10 games over .500 WhiteSox/Twins/Indians instead of sitting tight at the 3 and getting us

As of right now, neither the Astros or the Yankees would have made it without expanded playoffs.

As of right now, the season is 35% complete in a normal year

If a mouse farts in the playoffs does it make a noise? Ugh

Yet the Yankees are the favorite to win the AL. Mind bottling 

Thank god they will not be using this extra inning abomination in the playoffs. Astros are 2 and 7 this year in extras

They should have let the 3 division winners choose their opponent among the 5 other teams. The 2 remaining teams, likely the best 2 left, play each other.

Champagne all around for the Astros' clutch late inning playoff clinching loss!

I’ve had the same thought. Would have aligned perfectly with all the other goofy shit they implemented

But seriously, screw the haters.  Tourney participation ribbons are forever.  Hang it.

What will the banner say?  Playoff expanded field '20?

“World Series champs” after 13 more wins 

The A’s are about to dump a doubleheader to the Mariners. I guess we know who they prefer to play in the first round. And I don’t blame them 

Well, we just clenched our first season not above .500 since 2014.  We can make it an out and out losing season tomorrow.

Why waste offense and wins in the regular season?  We learned from last year.

what about the other 100 games that should have been played?

Not making excuses and not really arguing your point, other than to say the 60 game mini season was recognized as a small sample of play warranting the expansion of POs.

Let's see how they play out before we just poo-poo them all to hell.

Showrrea!!  Maybe the boys care about avoiding a losing record.

Altuve and Correa with homers today heading into the russian roulette 1st round...

Phillies and Royals are pretty much the only teams that should dip their toes into the retro powder blue pool.  Everyone else looks pretty dumb.

I want to believe too... that the first 59 games have just been the entire team saying “aaaahhhh we were just fucking with you! We back”

also, part of me would be ok with a losing record..I know it won’t happen, but say they win it all. I can’t think of much that would be better after the last off-season (and 2020 in general)  than the first team with a losing record flying a World Series banner

Riding De Jong until his arm falls off and now bringing in Nivaldo...maybe not so much.

No pride, even less pitching.

So they're going to finish the season under .500 and losing 3 of 4 to the worst team in the league.  Just forfeit the playoff series.  Hit corrupt coverup Manfred where it hurts, in the wallet.

Hey baseball...

Would not be shocked to see this team take two of three from any opponent, but no way they make it past the second round.  

Glad they got Brantley out at .300

although part of me feels like it would be fitting for no one on this team this season to hit .300

A's have gone up on Seattle and Twins are currently tied with the Reds.  A's win and Twins loss and we play the Twins.

A's won, Twins and Reds going to the 10th.

Twins just walked in another run and the White Sox have the tying run at the plate after being down 10-1 in the 7th.  CWS have the tiebreaker over the Twins, so we might end up in the Windy City.

Edited by clapclapclap

We’d get White Sox if they rally and twins lose 


 

Edit: white Sox lose

we get twins unless they rally big time in the bottom of the 10th

Edited by UTexasFight

Looks like it’s the Twins.  The Astros could conceivably win the World Series and have a total season record of two games over .500. The gnashing of teeth from other fan bases would be hilarious.

Not over yet.  Marwinning leads off the bottom of the 10th with an RBI single, Twins bring the tying run to the plate with no outs.

Edited by WBT

Twins lose, we're going to Minnesota.  Between the Twins recent playoff struggles and avoiding California, I think this is a win.

I don’t know much about the Twins. Someone give me the Cliff Notes.

This guy is their best pitcher: 

(He’s actually had a really good year. Almost finished off a no-hitter)

4 AL games on Tuesday.  Will MLB do the common sense 12/3/6/9pm start times or some tv rigged nonsense?  I'd guess we'll be in the 12 or 3 slot, Yankees in prime time, Oakland the late game.
