What if you don’t even make the playoffs?

If you pitch like Ohtani and hit like Ohtani...validating yourself an entire 2nd season as something nobody has ever seen in the history of the sport...If Judge doesn't get to the World Series...Ohtani should win...

MVP voting occurs before the playoffs.

All means nothing as voting is done at the end of the season I believe

It is. Postseason is irrelevant.

Since the rules are different this year, does anyone know if the C.S. is a 7 game series this year?

Yes, and still 2-3-2 format

I never knew they actually vote before the playoffs...I thought they didn't take the playoffs into account...

Verlander just threw a great strike that wasn't called. 

Wonder if even against the asstros the stankees get the umpire advantage?

Yep, it's best of 7.

Imagine these Padres if Tatis wasn’t an idiot

A Korean wouldn't be playing.

When does the voting take place?

Voters submit their ballots before the start of the postseason.

I almost hope the Padres win to spite Tatis being such a horses ass. 

I don't really care for Machado, but he's seemed to semi-mature the past couple years. 

Pretty sure Tatis doesn't get a ring if they win, right?

Think they value his defense more, they'd stick Tatis in left or center

I wasn't saying I didn't believe you...

Apparently can't avoid that draft kings douchebag with mid-inning ads...

I wouldn't mind the Halos signing this Taillon guy...every time I watch him he is pretty solid...and becoming a fee agent....

I would say there's almost no chance the Angels will be in on anyone at Taillon's expected level of contract this off-season.

So the white guys don't miss their jobs. 

[CaliAngel]

Of course as soon as I say that he gives up a run tying double.

With Maldonado...almost an automatic out hitting nonetheless.

Josh Hader's downfall continues.  Since July 4, he has a 14.66 ERA in 11.2 innings and opponents have a 1.293 OPS against him.  Since joining the padres he has a 16.20 ERA (6ER in 3.1 IP)

The Padres had one of the best trade deadlines of all time on paper. It hasn't worked out very well for them.

Adell for Hader.

 

I agree 

[daygloman]

Padres win!

Off to Philadelphia!

The crazy thing about the NLCS this year is the Padres/Phillies get tomorrow off, then play 5 games in row with no day off.

Ive never seen or heard of that.  Gonna be a grind on the pitching

Safe to say Hader is back to pre-suck Hader

Yankees v Astros 

Guess I'll get some work done.

[CaliAngel]

Aaron Judge seems to be struggling this postseason. 

Rizzo walks. 

Be interesting to see how Verlander pitches Stanton. Stanton could literally flick his bat oppo and I think the ball would go out in Houston.

[daygloman]

That would have been LONG GONE in Yanqui stadium for Stanton!
