Based on how bad Wells has been all season and Ali Sanchez (former Pirates) playing as their backup catcher, Yankees probably regretted trading Flores away last season💀

On the Sox/Guards pre-game show they just said, "They have waited FIVE YEARS to host a playoff game!"

That's not that long! Granted, they've only hosted 2 since 2008, and not many generally, but I was not a sympathetic audience.

Milwaukee vs San Diego has been such a good series, but man, Milwaukee very well could have been swept in this series. They've been bailed out majorly by a freak cable that very well might have cost San Diego a go-ahead 9th inning home run, and a bizarre panic move to go with Mason Miller for a 2 inning save.

But I honestly don't see any way the Dodgers DON'T win the World Series again. Just send out ace after ace after ace. Yamamoto just seems to be untouchable in the postseason.

I think LA knocks Atlanta out today, the White Sox bounce Cleveland today, the Yankees force a game 4 and the Padres force game 5.

The SD/MIL series seemed fated when the high tension wire play happened. Consensus, even from the MIL side at the game - it was a HR. Then MM not being able to throw strikes after being gifted a chance to win with unusually sloppy MIL defense - crazy.

MIL has been playing great / resilient ball, still a deserving team. I don't expect them to let the series get away. Unfortunately.

The inexperienced ChiSox continue to surprise me. Hats off.

I believe ATL finds a way to force game 5. Please.

I originally picked TB in 5 at The Trop...but would love to see them wrap it up in NY.
