I wouldn’t say the Braves are done. They’re capable of winning 2 straight.

They’re in a hole though

I’m convinced wild card teams have the advantage :pachaha:

They’re usually playing postseason baseball type games for weeks just to make the postseason. Almost all the division winners(braves next) lost.
They gotta get rid of the time off. Gonna have to go to 16 teams (:scusthov:) or do one game Wild Cards on Tuesday with the DS starting on Wednesday.

More examples of teams being hurt by rest than not. My Tigers were atrocious in the 2006 and 2012 World Series after having over a week off because they swept the ALCS.

The division winners had more time off before their series than teams get for the All-Star break. It's too much.

It's all about the NBA out here now..Lakers & Clippers. Then it's the Rams & Chargers. shyt done changed out here. Nobody is outraged at this choking team anymore. Only Mexicans get into the Dodgers, but they too will switch to hoops by the end of the week. Time to redo the "LA sports tiers". Dodgers are just a nice outing -after you survive the parking situation--to enjoy the stadium & uniforms.. That's it. Everybody gonna fake like they're upset and angry, but it's just for show. Watch

Yeah I was just listening to David Justice talk about this
He doesn't like the break at all and thinks it puts the top seeded teams at disadvantage especially if one of the lower seed teams really finds their groove like the Phillies did

Dave Roberts will have to be the sacrificial lamb for this one and it’s well overdue. 100 win team flames out, doesn’t win a single game in the postseason and once/if the Braves lose, this thing in the NL is gonna be wide open.

Good luck to the Rangers against the Astros but Houston ain’t lying down. The time to swipe them off the board was in the final 2 weeks of the regular season when they were scraping to get into the postseason. Every AL team in September apparently didn’t get the memo that stopping the Astros BEFORE October was the mission.

Fire Cashman and Boone BTW

do you shorten the break in-between rounds then?
