Honestly I thought it was a little suspicious when Correa pulled out a mini trash can on the field

I messaged my dad "the jays are such a bunch of loving bums" and "loving plugs" and he responded with "couldn't describe them any better. A bunch of loving clowns. Typical toronto garbage!!" Love how the game brings fathers and sons together in their absolute hatred for a team they only loving root for because the loving expos left

The Dbacks should just kick a bunch of Mexican-Americans out of their homes and stay there, like the Dodgers did.

I wonder if there's some inflection point at which "record over the final x games of the season" ends up correlating significantly more with postseason success than overall season record. Like, between two teams with the same season record, where one had a hot April/bad September and the other had a bad April/hot September, you could probably expect the latter team to do better in the playoffs, right?

IDK man, maybe it's just my team but I've seen them go from unstoppable offensive monster to getting 1 hit by sub .300 teams overnight. Like it's a joke that if the Astros score more than 10 it's a curse and they won't score more than 2 in any game for a week. Maybe that's every team though, I don't pay much attention to other teams.

I think people have gone way too far in the “crapshoot” direction. Paper Tiger mentioned end of year record - I think there’s something there but imo it’s not so much “getting hot at the right time” as it is that teams can improve drastically around the deadline / with key players returning from injury etc (and of course the converse is also true). Regular season win % isn’t a good proxy for team strength within the playoff field.

It’s all chaos, embrace it. Edit: those fangraphs odds probably reflect run differential more than record Remaining teams ranked by run differential: ATL - 231 LA - 201 TEX - 165 HOU - 129 BAL - 129 MIN - 119 PHI -81 AZ - -15 (not a typo, this NEGATIVE 15) No idea why they have AZ above Baltimore tho, that’s rough bawfuls fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Oct 6, 2023 |

A lot of the statistical research into playoff strength up to this point is plainly insufficient. In my view the most fruitful line of inquiry in the coming years will start with the assumption that when the teams I prefer win, it’s because of talent and superior heart. However when the teams I prefer lose, why, that is random chance.

Fangraphs gave the O’s abysmal odds to win the division too, so just more bulletin board material. And research on postseason performance is going to be a race to quantify Vibes.

I am biased as all hell but it has been interesting to see the Orioles be largely disregarded as a serious contender after the season they've had. Defying expectations has sort of been a theme for this season so hopefully that continues into the postseason.

I couldn't say offhand by any means but I'd be curious to know how many teams made the playoffs for the first time in a certain period of time (say 10+ years, as the Phillies are a great example) and won the WS. As an aside I can't remember a more generally liked Philly playoff team in my lifetime than this one, and not in the way of "well, gently caress the Astros/Patriots/etc., so Philly is the lesser evil". Last year obviously felt great, and I think people generally don't mind the Eagles and the Tush Push as of late, barring they aren't a fan of certain teams, but this year seems to have even better vibes. It honestly feels nice that people seem to really like the Phillies as an alternative team to their own right now.

I think Schwarber and Harper are cool dudes. That’s about it. But in this playoff field it makes them the least objectionable. I’m also a Crimson Tide fan so I like Hurts and DeVonta. The Flyers can gently caress off forever though

My concern for Baltimore is that they don’t have much starting depth that they can rely on They are going to be pitching at least two rookies in this series.

MN based ad agency employed guy checking in. A PM in the next office over is on the phone with a client trying to set up some contest between a local furniture store (Schneiderman's I think) and a Houston based store. 10K bet to charity kind of thing. Absolutely 110% just hoping of for a little viral marketing thing / local 15 second fluff piece on the news. LOL - they're talking about Matress Mack now. "He isn't the only guy that's allowed to do this kind of thing!" Just heard the words "Looks like we're on, huh?"

The Royals made the World Series in consecutive years but otherwise haven't been to the post season for 30 years and spent most of that time well below .500 Not sure if that qualifies for the "sudden success" category but it seems close to me

The only rookie we're expecting to start is Grayson Rodriguez? Bradish is in his second year and the only rookie we have in the bullpen at this point is Cano who is like, 29 isn't he? I don't know if DL Hall has exhausted his eligibility but he can't be far off, he's had a couple months between last year and this one.
