Mark Vader Posted October 24, 2021 Author Posted October 24, 2021 Uh-oh, the Atlanta Braves won the NLCS. So since the World Series will be partially played in Georgia, is MLB going to cancel it? Quote

But since they're playing the wired midget and all of his cheating friends, I am ALL IN on Atlanta. 1 1 Quote
Jauronimo Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Have the Dodgers blamed the Astros yet for not making it to the series or are they waiting until the offseason? 1 Quote

SinceThe70s Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 Speculation is that the NL will be adopting the DH. These may be the last three games with a pitcher in the staring lineup in MLB. 1 2 Quote

I like seeing the pitcher getting a chance to get on base. 1 Quote

I like seeing the pitcher getting a chance to get on base. The NL has much more strategy. It's a different game when you have to decide whether to burn a pitcher for a pinch hitter in a particular spot. But the game is changing anyway, bullpen games and the like. Some folks seem to think you've got to have both leagues playing by the same rules. Why? I rather like the World Series with the DH in some games and not others. Oh, and go Braves. Quote
SinceThe70s Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Heard from a friend that the Braves PA played 'It's a Small World After All' when Altuve came to the plate. 1 Quote
Talley56 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Braves are up 3 games to 1 but can you really trust Atlanta teams to hang on to a lead in a championship? https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1996_WS.shtml https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201702050atl.htm 1 Quote
Rico Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) So a team with 88 wins in the regular season, the 5th best team in the NL, is 1 game away from winning the WS? MLB playoff system is a joke. Edited October 31, 2021 by Rico 1 Quote

The 2 best teams in all of baseball had to beat the crap out of their rosters trying to win a division, meanwhile we get stuck with .500 vs. cheating bastages as a WS. 1 1 Quote

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Sure is. 2021 WS is getting a 0.0 Nielson rating from this household. At least i'm missing out on 20 hours of Joe Buck. Quote

Rockpile233 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Really? Griping about regular season records? Braves fought through adversity all year, overcame injuries, had a great record down the stretch, and have had their bullpen dominate the postseason. They will deserve the championship when they win. 1 1 Quote

Our friends/neighbors have season tix we have enjoyed at times. GREAT seats, second level in that front row where wheelchairs go and you have moveable seats. Still under cover in case of rain/mist. Anyway, saw them while walking the dogs a few hours ago. It’s so packed OUTSIDE the stadium (The Battery is awesome, btw with all the bars, restaurants and open spaces) it took them 1.5 hours to get home last night, and we live 3 miles away. After that grand slam, they may as well plan on spending the night if this holds up. 1 Quote
