2024 MLB Playoffs Thread

[eligrba4ever]

I have been silently rooting for the 2 best teams to play in the World Series. Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Giancarlo Stanton and the rest of that roster have been the best in the AL in 2024. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and the rest of that SoCal crew have been the best in the NL and will probably win the NLCS Sunday evening.

Shohei served his time in Katella purgatory and cashed in. He rates a shot at winning the Big Dance.

Stanton is having a solid tremendous post season. I'm kind of happy for the guy

Clase -- he turned into reliever kershaw this october. 

[TheLordofOuts]

That HR by Soto for Cleveland fans was similar to the Manny HR against FRod for us. Quite heartbreaking 

[T.G.]

Let's go Mets!!

For the love of baseball, please no Yankee/Dodger WS!

[T.G.]

Mets score first!

[Duren, Duren]

Yet again, more bad inner diamond defense costs a team a run. 

[T.G.]

The LA Mercenaries lead 4-1 in the 3rd.

[T.G.]

6-1 now.

Crap.

[T.G.]

And the shadow gets bigger.

The NLCS has not been very interesting or entertaining.

So true.  It’s been boring from Game 1.  The ALCS had a few great games, but in the end we have to conclude that this is what the baseball gods wanted.

Dodgers vs. Yankees.  Thank God for hockey.

[m0nkey]

Thank you, Arte!

[daygloman]

Dodgers/Yankees as expected.

Nice pennant win for LAD. Ohtani clearly made the right move.

Can't argue with that

WS prediction: dodgers in 6

Storybook match-up in the WS

Yeah, for all the whining and complaining here and elsewhere, this is actually a pretty fun matchup. First time there have ever been 50+ HR guys on opposing teams in the WS.

[Amazing Larry]

The ratings will be off the charts. The two big US markets with the entire country of Japan is giving MLB execs raging boners. 

[Slegnaac]

AL #1 vs NL #1 for all the marbles. 

[eligrba4ever]

So that's what Shohei looks like in a victory celebration with a big trophy and a champagne shower. 

[T.G.]

The 2 best teams money can buy

[T.G.]

I wonder if Trout watched this...
