2025 MLB Playoffs!
So which teams would you like to see meeting up in the League Championships?
I'd like to see the Toronto Blue Jays playing the Detroit Tigers in the AL and the Philadelphia Phillies playing the Chicago Cubs in the NL. :) |
Red Sox out. Anyone but the Yankees.
|
With the Mets and Guardians out, I'm rooting for the most compelling WS.
Bring on Dodgers - Yankees, Part Deux. (Yankees -- Phillies would also be a rock fight.) |
Brewers/Cubs vs Mariners. I believe the Mariners are the only organization to have not gone to the World Series, the Brewers have only gone once and haven't won one. Whoops, I jumped the gun, the question was asking about the League Championship Series, but I'll stick with my World Series hopefuls.
|
Since it can't be the Red Sox, and we've still got the Divisional round to go, I hope the Yankees will be eliminated by then, but if they make it to the LCS, someone who can beat them there. I'd like to see the Tigers make a run. In the National League, Phillies/Cubs.
|
C'mon Yankee haters, wouldn't it be more satisfying to see them trounced by the Dodgers in 4 games instead of 5???
|

Since my Giants couldn’t get the job done down the stretch. My friends son who came up through our little league is throwing relief for Milwaukee so I’m going with the Brewers and I’d like to see the Tigers on the other side. - |
All of the remaining teams I either dislike (Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies) or am totally neutral on (Jays, Tigers, Mariners, Cubs, Brewers), so I'll just make my predictions:
Tigers vs Yankees Dodgers vs Cubs |

Absolutely any team but the Yankees! Although if they do advance I can always hope they'll be eliminated in the most heartbreaking fashion possible (ala the Maz home run in 1960).
|
Go CUBs - playoffs are set up this year for some GOOD games. All us true baseball fans should be well entertained no matter what.

I’m fully expecting a Yankees vs. Yankees no Subway needed Series in the Bronx, New York, for all the marbles!
Yankees win it in a dramatic 7th Game when Aaron Judge hits a walk off 22nd inning HR off of emergency reliever…Aaron Judge, that some how doesn’t fall out of the sky until it reaches Shea Stadium. In the celebration following the game Aaron Judge gets into a fistfight with Aaron Judge and within the commotion of the mayhem they meld into a single Aaron Judge. Omnipotent, All-knowing, All-seeing and even able to hit a slider and catch routine fly balls come playoff season. ;) |

Yankees getting crushed! You love to see it.
|
Ouch. That's a wake up call. Reverse billboard material for Aaron Boone.

Sasaki is a pretty disgusting closer.
|
If you're the Phillies, it must be demoralizing when Ohtani gets tagged for 3 runs in the second inning and strikes out 4 times -- and you still lose.
|
[duplicate]
|
Epic beatdown in Toronto. Boone will be shown the door shortly if they lose the next game.

Yankees fans are bailing on their team. My friend just bought 2 tickets for Game 3 in the upper level behind home plate on SeatGeek for $95 a piece. Hard to believe you can get into a playoff game in New York that cheap.
|
Much as I dislike the Yankees, they can't be counted out yet. They're very capable of winning on any given day.
But today I'm hoping that both the Phillies and the Cubs even up their respective series. :) |

Dodgers bullpen. Definitely good for ratings.

How many people would have predicted that the Dodgers would walk into Philly and win two in a row?
|
Roberts did everything he could to blow this game but they held on. I don't see Philly winning three straight.

Last night. . . . ending of the Dodgers-Phillies game . . . . and then ending of the Monday Night Football game. Brain fried. Wild.
I am the one Met fan out of a million who doesn't hate Bryce Harper. Chances of Pete Alonso making that final play? Yeah, maybe 1 in 1,000. |

Nick Castellanos on Phillies fans. The man has stones, I'll grant him that. |

bk400- yeah, that won't age well. Guess he forgot he's a major league player.
I don't even like LA and I hope they beat Philly. Trent King |

Imagine that Nick, I believe that's called "life" |
I don't really care that much either way, just looking for good baseball, but I think the Yankees are going to take it in 5. The Blue Jays really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last night, and Yankee Stadium is going to be rocking for Game 4. If it gets back to Toronto, the collars will be tight in the Jays dugout.
|
I'm really unhappy with the way the last four games on Monday and Tuesday went.
:( |
Tigers force game 5 with Skubal ready to start. Probably not what Seattle wanted, but at least they're at home for the game.
|
I wouldn't want to face Skubie in an elimination game, especially considering that he hasn't even pitched to his regular season level yet this postseason.
|
Well Yankee fans, in the words of Michael Kay:
"See ya!" |
Playoff Kershaw strikes again. I feel bad for him. Why would Dave Roberts bring him back out for the 8th?

Kershaw is a regular season Hall of Fame. PERIOD.

Yay! All the games went my way yesterday and the dog-ass Yankees have been eliminated.
:cool: |

Kershaw is the WORST starter to use out of the pen, postseason or otherwise. Even at this point in his career he is much more vulnerable early in his starts then once he gets rolling. What could possibly suggest that's a guy you want coming out of the pen.
Frankly I would rather have seen him start tonight than come out of the pen yesterday. |
Quote:
:) |
The decision to pitch him in relief in a still winnable game may be the second worst decision ever made. The decision to bring him back for the 8th was the worst decision ever made. Far worse than Grady Little leaving Pedro in. I would have fired Roberts on the spot if I controlled the Dodgers. Right there, in the middle of the game. Absolutely, unequivocally, inexcusable.

To be precise, he has started 32 postseason games and pitched in 40 total. His ERA is now ..... wait for it .... 4.63. FOUR POINT SIX THREE, you read that right. More that two full points higher than his regular season ERA. |

Ted Williams was a “Mr Regular Season “, man tough crowd especially for a player whose career lasted from 1939-1960. Think he played in 1 post season series 6 games and went 5 for 25. Amazing Boston had so few appearances all those years.
|
In all seriousness, I'd be curious to see how many hits Ted Williams had in pressure-less games -- perhaps defined as games where the Red Sox were more than 5 games out of first place in the final third of the season. Or, similarly, how many home runs Mike Trout has had in similar games. There should be a premium for performance under pressure, which (unfortunately) would elevate players like Jeter.

Well that was one of the worst plays in the history of postseason baseball.
|
Hate to see games end like that.
Hats off to the Phillies. Every at bat with them is like that knife fight in the movie Eastern Promises. This was the best series so far. |

The kid did his best. Hope Phillies Nation supports him.

I'm very disappointed to see the Phillies go down in that fashion.

To the top of the 15h. Taking out a dominant Skubal after only 6 may cost the Tigers a trip to the next round.

Great win for Seattle and their long suffering fans.
