Other teams playoffs game thread

And the batter promptly steals second, putting more pressure on the pitcher and the defense.

Yankees score their first run off Ragans on an infield single. Amazing what happens when you put the ball in play.

Those scrappy Yankees! 

And to think they also led the league in homeruns!

[Uli2001]

Amazing, KC #9 hitter took three high 98 mph fastballs and then laced a single to left on a 3-2 count, scoring another RISP. What madness is this?

[Uli2001]

Seriously now, I hope the Orioles young hitters are watching this. This is how you play postseason baseball against tough pitching.

Or you can hit six big dongs like the Padres did last night.

That works too.

Not likely to happen against elite pitching, that's for sure.

It all works.

Just score runs.

Absolutely, whoever scores the most runs wins. The question is how to do that. The O’s approach has been to hit big dongs and it didn’t work for them at a tune of 0-5 the past two postseasons.

Is it possible to have a discussion about the playoffs, on the MLB board, without constant criticism of the Orioles early exit and hitting?  There are 1000 places to do that elsewhere on the board. 
 

Came here for discussion of an exciting DS round so far and just getting yet another thread I’ll have to ignore, like I do the rest of the board, for a while. Annoying

How about the Dodger's manager whining about Manny throwing a ball into the their dugout?  Can you get softer than that?

Anyone see the video?  

[Fiver6565]

I didn’t hear about that. That was a crazy game with the crowd throwing stuff at the outfielders too. No love last between those teams that’s for sure. 
 

Tonight’s game in SD is must see TV just because that crowd is going to be WILD 

[Fiver6565]

Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.

Lol Costas is an absolutely clown who has no business announcing postseason games. What a joke.

Manny has a grudge at the Dodgers for not wanting him after his rental. That's all it is, sour grapes. It makes him look small.

I thought Bob Costas was a Cardinals fan he sounds like a bigger Yankees homer than John Sterling.
