2021 Postseason thread

The Brewers are a bit of a cautionary tale.... great pitching, but you need an offense to make noise in the playoffs.

Its not looking good for the Rays.  They're down 4-0 bottom of the 3rd.

The Rays are the ONLY team I give a **** about in the AL so they’ll lose.

Reliever roulette is unkind tonight.

Oh, so you’re the one screwing this up.  Thanks for nothing!

It’s not as easy as I make it look.

Y’all saw the 17 pitch at bat between Rodriguez and Meadows, right?

[chasfh]

Down 5-0, the Rays close the deficit to 5-3 with three innings left.

This is baseball. Never say die until they’re dead.

This is the year 2021 and we have a 1,000 universe. How can there not be an option to watch a feed where I don’t have to look at Fenway fans between every pitch.

Tampa Bay fights their way back into the game, then Wander Franco air mails a throw to 1st into the dugout on a play where he had more time than he though. Boston with lead run at 2b with no out in the 8th

[lordstanley]

Nice throw!

5-5 heading to the 9th. Good series.

Kiermaier to Arozarena on the fly ball: "get out of my way kid, I've got a throw to make.'

Another Tampa error and Boston is 90 feet away.

yeah - Tampa IFs with the yips. Rushing on plays when they have way more time than they think.

[mtutiger]

Last time I ever second guess our King Lynn Henning lol

[gehringer_2]

Bah - Humbug!

Red Sox advance. I think I will cheer for the other AL series winner over them, even if it is the White Sox

Without question.... 

Although at this point, I'm just hoping the ultimate winner comes out of the NL

Looking at the Rays season statistics and watching some of the series, they don't look like a championship team.  The Red Sox really don't either.  Toronto is better than all the AL East teams.

More heartbreak for Tampa sports fans.

Yeah, as a Leafs hater and Jays hater, I feel I dodged two bullets this year. Both had the talent to go deep.

My immediate reaction to both AL series' in general is that they'd all have a tough time going up against one of the California teams in the World Series. Houston is probably best positioned, but the others seem pretty suspect.
