2024 MLB Playoffs

[L-Jam3]

Very happy that all four of these matchups have a lot of bad blood. I have a vague memory about hearing George Brett and Graig Nettles throwing hands after a close play, and both of them staying in the game. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about facing the Mets.

When I first saw Francona news popping up on Twitter, I did not think it was for getting a manger's job.

Greatest part was that nobody was ejected, there was no retaliation. It was done.

[DaveInSeattle]

Just brutal for Brewers fans though I assume most are also Packers fans so this is good?

My manager is a Brewers fan. I just sent him a Teams message saying "Sorry"

[L-Jam3]

I’m not going to suggest that the Brewers are irrelevant, but I’d harbor a guess that they’re probably the least hated team. I would look with askance if I ever heard someone say “man, fuck the Brewers. Fuck then and their brat-stuffing fans.”

[mister d]

Residual Selig hate is all I've got on that one.

That’s half my Twitter feed.

I'm angry they've never had a big beer stein with the cartoony foam as their hat logo.

So fuck the Brewers.

No kidding? Where does the anti-Brewer sentiment come from the North Side? Am I forgetting some Cubs-Brewers incident?

Divison rivals within 90 miles of each other?

Just piping in to say these playoffs have already been amazing.

Can't wait to watch these games!

Pretty much this. Brewers fans hate Cubs fans because we fill their stadium when the teams play. And Cubs fans hate the Brewers because they’ve been the best team in the division the last few years while the Cubs have been mediocre.

It’s not something I personally feel that much, since I left Chicago before the Brewers even joined the NL.

[L-Jam3]

I understand. I thought there was some Brewer-on-Cub fracas that elevated the hate.

I’m heading down to the Bank to catch todays Mets-Phillies tilt. This is my brother’s first home playoff game since I think the 1981 divisional series vs. the Expos. Looking forward to Four Hours of Hell.

Oh man. I hope it’s a great game for you!

Did Salvatore Perez debut at age 9? How is he only 34?

[L-Jam3]

Mother Fucker.

I get everyone doing it but the ad in the Yankees batting helmets is especially yech

Thank goodness or else the Yankees would soon be insolvent I'm sure.

[mister d]

It would be more interesting if you told us how many shots on goal VGK has had since the last Yankees home run or something.

You’re mad that the Yankees…(checks notes)…. make a lot of money?

[mister d]

Yes. I’m mad and that is why.

[L-Jam3]

Harper is so fucking money.

If your first name was Orion, the number one sentence you’d say the most often in your life would be, “No, not Ryan - it’s Orion.”

[mister d]

O’Ryan. An irish lad.

What. The. Fuck?

[cerranoredux]

What. The. Fuck?

LETS! FUCKING! GO!

[garyclark]

What an amazing playoffs already. Shaping up to be an incredible postseason.

Instant classic in the Mets/Phils game.

[L-Jam3]

What. The. Fuck?

LETS! FUCKING! GO!

Fuck yeah! Casty! Something bad must’ve happened somewhere in the world, but not in Philly!

[MaxWebster]

goddamn i have nothing constructive to say at all other than these playoffs are awesome already - our oldest has never really gotten into it and is HOOKED at this point.

fk i love baseball and always get a bit down when the season's over (but of course this is the best part...)

[Rex]

If I caught a ball like Profar just did I’d hide it in my glove for the next 2-3 batters then show it, just to mess everyone up.

[garyclark]

Dodgers nation on twitter last night was not at its best.

One dude tried to say he was in leftfield, and he saw Profar throw a ball into the stand at someone, and that's why the fan threw it back. Blaming Profar for escalating it after that.

I asked him what that had to do with the trash being thrown at Tatis. Was expecting an obnoxious retort. But instead he deleted his post.

When I saw this video this morning, I figured out why.

[DSafetyGuy]

I just laugh because the Tigers are not particularly good, yet they keep winning games. Adding things like taking Clase out of the yard just piles on the absurdity.

[L-Jam3]

Their T-shirts that have the line graph of their postseason chances are fantastic.

[Rex]

On multview tonight, hearing the Tomahawk Chop and watching Yankee pitchers post zeroes. It’s bringing back the memories, gotta say.

They’re not but in a weird way they’re built well for the postseason when scoring typically tightens up. The offense sucks but the bullpen and defense are good enough. And Hinch seems to have some magic in his moves.

Honestly even if they get boat raced and knocked out in the next two games was worth today to shut up the Guardians fans who are vocal and butthurt about Skubal winning the CY over Clase.

Of all people I'd think you wouldn't stand for their stolen Grittiness.

Keith Yandle is turning over in his retirement.

[MaxWebster]

i don't know of even one person that would think Clase should get the cy young over Skubal
