IUFLA Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Wow... Mariners come back from down 8-1 to win 10-9... Bye-Bye Blue Jays... Be nice if another bird bit the dust tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice if another bird bit the dust tonight... You got your wish! Cardinals got a taste of their own medicine this weekend. I thought the MLB playoff format was going to be like the NFL, where the 1 seed gets the lowest seed left after the wild card round and the 2 seed gets the highest. But ESPN says the Phillies will be playing the Braves next. If the Mets win tomorrow night, that means the next series would be 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 6. So the 2 seed is playing a weaker team than the 1 seed. Last year, the Dodgers had to play a 100+ win team in the NLDS. This year, even with 111 wins and the new format, they could still end up playing a 100+ team while the 2nd-seeded Braves get the 87-win Phillies.

I imagine TV contracts and venues play into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Interesting strategy by the Cards.. score 0 runs and try and win isn't going to pay dividends often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense was way too feast or famine this year. And I think I heard yesterday was the first time that both Goldschmidt and Arenado struck out at least two times a piece. Cards are 1-9 in their last 10 playoff games so hopefully they actually do something in the off-season versus them thinking hey we’ll still have 3 million+ in attendance and the money continues to pile in why spend more? Seems like they’ve gotten too complacent in a lot of ways since TLR left. Like hey we’re just happy to make the playoffs which isn’t acceptable for a franchise of that caliber.

I would say the Cards need some TOR pitchers. I think Montgomery is one, but you guys need a few more. You will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
