My Cards will be a non-participant, this post-season...so I'm just along for the ride. Might be time to blow the GM outta there, but that's for another post.
The division leaders are...leading, lol. With the exception of the NL West and maaaaaaybe, the NL East, shit's sewn up. The Wild cards are a different story. Some observations.
I feel like, yesterday, the Mets were 5 games up...now, they're 7 back. Lindor has been AWFU this season and Baez hasn't done much besides his first game after the trade.
The Yankees just had their longest win streak since JFK was president...and they could still end up in a 1 game, winner take all, with Boston.
The Giants...what on Earth? Shit, they're good. Quiet good. Somehow, Buster Posey hopped in the DeLorean with Doc and Marty and went back to like 2012...then they added Kris Bryant.
I thought the Braves were going to fade into Bolivia (c) after Acuna went down, but Freddie Freeman is having none of it. Philly is nipping at their heels, though and Bryce Harper is balling.
Houston is Houstoning...and they just got Alex Bregman back from injury.
The Dodgers have the best pitching staff in baseball...even after losing that guy. It's true. They can throw Max/Clayton/Walker/Urias at you. That's fucking tough.
So, the White Sox and the Padres walk into a bar and played a bunch of teams that were below .500. One of them barely broke even, the other is in first place by 10 games. Gotta beat bad teams, man.
The Brewers are beating up on a bad division. Shout out to Joey Votto, though...that team is going to have a shot at an upset to get in and he is a huge reason why. He's literally made the decision to go from On-Base Daddy to Launch Angle Home Run Bro. Dude is that good, that he changed his style to fit the current state of the game.
Tampa really does this baseball shit better than most. That Nelson Cruz pickup was a great look. They're D'Angelo cruisin' in a division where the two teams behind them will prolly win 90 games.
