This is pathetic, its game 3 of the 2010 NLDS all over again.

They're still at home with 9 outs to go. The ball seems to be carrying as well.

Brooks Conrad must be lurking in the depths of Turner Field.

Last AB of your career right here... no pressure or anything.

EDIT- Well, that was fast.

Re: Play-In Game Discussion Thread

You know when you would be at practice and you were scimmaging, and time was almost up so the coach said next goal (score/run/whatever) wins. You know how annoying it was when you lost despite being up 3+ scores, but ultimately you got over it because it was practice that meant nothing.

Why did the MLB think that concept would be a good one to apply to the playoffs?

If the Braves can't come back then this game winds up being worth 7 games.

The best defense in the NL has an anomaly of a game and it could cost them the season. Baseball is easily the most fickle sport and yet the MLB actually decided that they should have a game between 2 opponents potentially several games apart decide who moves on to play their #2 starter against their next opponents #1.

Its not that big of a deal for the AL this year (basically the same scenario as previous years except they are in the "playoffs" as opposed to a one-game playoff), but I'm sure if this round doesn't get expanded we'll see a lopsided record difference eventually.

I applauded the expansion of the playoffs as I have long felt that 162 games is too much for there to be only 4 teams per league making the playoffs. But having a 1 game playoff in my opinion negates the expansion because you are basically saying 6 games didn't count as much as 1 game (in this scenario).

The entire post is quoted because I don't know how to delete parts on my phone.

It's a good idea because neither team should be in the playoffs anyway. Both were beaten out by superior clubs.

Well, yeah.

Win your division and you don't need to worry about the play-in game. Simple as that.

Look at the Tigers. They have the seventh best record in the AL but they won their division. End of story.

Although I don't agree with your opinion I definitely respect it, it's true. To avoid all this BS win your division. Point blank.

Re: Play-In Game Discussion Thread

Although I don't agree with your opinion...

Well, if a team wins their division then it is a fact that they don't have to worry about the play-in game.

I don't understand how that can be considered an opinion since it is, well, true.

Well, playing David Ross was the right call on this particular day. Yes, sir.
