Marlins are going to lose immediately I think. I can't imagine them going 3 for 3 in franchise playoff runs. It will end here.

My pretty boring overall prediction though is that the Dodgers win over the Rays in the World Series. My prediction at the beginning of the year was Yankees over Dodgers, but the way the season turned out for the Yankees wasn't ideal.

Eh, I think if our pitchers are healthy the Padres can beat the doyers. My real concern is the Cardinals because regardless of how their regular season went they are always prone to great playoff runs.

It's a lot easier to win the WS when there's only 16 teams and entire races of people aren't allowed in the league

it's a lot easier when you make the post season more than once a decade too.

It's all about efficiency..Why bother making the postseason and raising your fans' hopes just to crush them by choking before the end? Being awful the rest of the time saves the fans a lot of heartache and wasted effort. I hope you know I'm just messing around at this point.

I think the Padres are very capable of beating the Dodgers. Between them and the Braves, those two have the best shot of doing it in the NL I think. I just don't think it will happen this year.

I havent seen much of the Braves this year but from what i hear from people that follow em its pretty much just Freeman and Acuna right? Outside of them the Braves arent that good.

Also am i the only one that loves the 60 game season? It was easy to follow the games and the start times were amazing. Almost all Padres games were at 5-6pm.

I know it wont but i wouldnt mind a 60-80 game season going forward

IMO, the whole "you only play teams in your division and the corresponding division in the other league" thing kind of ruins it. In a normal season, each team plays every other team in their league at least once and a good amount of the other league in interleague play too.

If they could make a shorter schedule of 80-100 games that still lets the fans see most of the other teams in a given season, that would be nice for the fans. But obviously the owners wouldn't want that because less games means they make less money.

Well... the IDEA of the Jays saving Ryu for game 2 was great. Our boys pitched well in game 1 despite the loss.

Ryu giving up 7 in 2 innings was not part of the plan however.

4 hours, 50 minutes.

The Marlins are a nice little story, but under a normal season they're likely in the 70-80 win range which is still a huge improvement from what they've recently been. Also wouldn't surprise me if the still ended up being bad over the course of 162 since their bullpen is really bad.

They have the worst bullpen ERA of all the playoff teams at 5.50. That'll likely be their downfall.

even though that call went in our favor, i hate those replays. His slide beat the tag but because his fingers lifted up slightly before actually touching the bag he's out. I get it's "technically" correct, but the angry old man in me just doesn't like it.

All four firesales have been tied to a major event in the franchise's history.

- Marlins win the World Series in 1997, firesale in 1998.
- Marlins win the World Series in 2003, firesale in 2004.
- Marlins Park opens and they sign a bunch of big free agents to hype it up in 2012, firesale in 2013.
- Jeffrey Loria finally sells the team in 2017, firesale by the new ownership in 2018.

As much as I'd love to be optimistic that they wouldn't do it again after this season, you can understand my skepticism.

on to the Braves bandwagon. Freddie Freeman deserves good things. But story of the season for the cubs, good starting pitching, poor hitting and a bullpen that was just sort of okay but did get better as the season went on. Scoring 1 run in 2 games won't get you many post season wins.
