    The Astros were gifted a postseason birth in the weakest division in baseball. Would love to see them sent packing in 2.

    The NFL would never be stupid enough to schedule a Packers game at 4:30 on a Tuesday.

    It's a product of (1) game start time and (2) we're such consistent winners that the opening round is no longer a novelty. Just looking at ticket sales, it's going to be an upper-30,000s crowd, I doubt anyone will even notice that there are a few thousand unsold seats. It will be a loud, energetic crowd. I don't blame people for waiting for the NLDS/NLCS (if we win...).

    Sale has been scratched with back spasms.

    This game deserves extra innings

    Bring back game 163!!!!

    The Mets are not looking good in this game. It's also raining, but radar suggests it won't be enough to trigger a delay.

    Now that we've had 8 wild card series... 7/8 have been sweeps. The 3/6 series has gone 2-2. The 4/5 series has gone 1-3 in favor of the 5-seed.

    The team that wins the first game will not have much motivation to win the second.

    This is so sad. It didn't have to be this way. Someday it could be us.

    You are now Overachiever.

    The national media, who won’t give us any credit if we win the wild card round and blame it all on the weather…

    I don't know what to do with the knowledge that a massive stroke of luck may have gone in our favor.

    TV schedules. I guess it could be subject to change depending on the time zones of the hosts. I assume the Astros will steal our prime time slot and the Padres will get the late start.

    You have to beat bad opponents. The Rays and White Sox had their chances against the White Sox as well and didn't take advantage. The 6 teams behind the Orioles fighting for those last 2 spots are all pretty much equally mediocre.

    I would just use the secondary market for the WC round and wait until it's announced that these games start in the afternoon (most likely 3 PM). The time slots for the 4 games on Tuesday (central time) are noon, 3 PM, 6 PM, and 9 PM.

    Microsoft essentially buying an entire nuclear power plant is not something I had on my 2024 bingo card.

    And that’s totally fair, going from a 19/20 chance to a 1/2 coin toss is a rough slide. The good news for the Twins is that the odds are better than the vibes. They are winning games and losing close ones. They should be able to get luckier with 1-run games and hope the Tigers come down from their unsustainable hot streak before the season is over — except that we’re in small sample territory now so crazy stuff like the Mariners stealing that spot isn’t completely out of the realm of possibilities…one team goes 3-0 this weekend and the others go 1-2 and the race could completely flip.

    And a bonus HR against a position player! 6-for-6 3 HR 2 SB 2 2B 10 RBI (!!!)

    There is a dangerous desire in sports to extrapolate recent trends ("momentum") indefinitely into the future. Twins are currently struggling and the Tigers are as hot as the sun, but that means little to nothing about what will happen next. My rule of thumb for comebacks is that going from long odds to a tie means you've made it halfway there. The Twins still are statistically 1 game up due to tiebreaks, so the odds are still 60/40 in their favor. If the Tigers get it to 50/50, then they have successfully gotten "halfway" from <1% to 100%. The fun part about the final week of the MLB season, however, is that you can easily gain 20% in a day with the right set of results.

    Too bad I don't gamble!

    My preseason predictions are often wrong, but I'm gonna take my victory lap here 🥳
  23. owbc
    There are better ways to clinch, but then again, clinching on a Cubs loss is becoming a bit of a tradition around here.

    The main thing that worries me about this wildcard format is getting caught off-guard by a hot opponent who has already been playing must win games prior to the series. Seeing the Mets in the last series would play to our advantage I think. We're also fairly familiar with the D'backs and we can win a slugfest series. The Braves look dead right now, but if they do make the WC it means they probably figured it out and I wouldn't want to cross paths with them. Ideally I don't want us to do any significant resting/benching of key players, so I hope we're still fighting for the bye up to game 162. Get the rotation aligned and give the key players a game off, but that's all we should do. There's a day off prior to the WC series at at least one and potentially two days off prior to the DS. That's enough rest.

    His walk-up song immediately popped into my head. I refuse to even mention the name of that ear worm. If you know, you know.
