Mets fans are already whining about how the 4th best team in MLB shouldn't be forced to play a 3 game WC round!!! 😆

How about don't have a come apart in the last 6 weeks of the season and win the Division you lead for over FIVE MONTHS!!!

Oh and don't get bounced by another WC team.
The 95 Braves (90 wins) shouldn't have had to open in Colorado, either.
The 96 Indians shouldn't have had to open in Baltimore, either.
The 97 Braves shouldn't have had to play a team they beat handily for a division title, either.

I could go on with this, including the 2021 San Fran Giants.

Out of curiosity, I looked at seats for tomorrow in the same section I watched Astros/Mariners this summer during a weekday afternoon game. Was 75 each. Now 225 each.

Atlanta playoff roster is set. No Albies. No Matzek. Unfortunately Odorizi is on the roster. Strider is a go for the playoffs but could be on a pitch count

Meanwhile, Bob Costas is whining about the steroid era during a game with no steroid users or so we're told.........

So, according to stats guys that have time for such, Alvarez’s HR was the single biggest play wrt win percentage in MLB playoff history (Gibson’s dinger was only two runs)

Astros vs. Mariners, 2:37pm on TBS.

Astros Framber Valdez vs. Mariners Luis Castillo

Valdez is 1-1 vs the Mariners this year, Castillo hasn't faced the Astros since he came over from Cincy, but he did beat the Astros 3 years ago 3-2.

This game worries me.

Well we know you're going to get a Quality outing from Frambler.

Castillo is a good pitcher too though.

On paper it looks like a Pitching Duel so of course it will probably turn into an Offensive Fireworks display.

The Mariners best shot was winning that 1st game but then they blew it in heartbreaking fashion for them.

I personally think you guys either Sweep them or win the series 3-1 at worst now.
