Non-Phillies NLDS and ALDS chat

And longer for us, alas, even if we're not the Yankees.

Toronto has to be loving this 14 inning (so far) Game 5 between Detroit and Seattle.

Seattle finally wins it in the 15th inning.

Got to admit that even though the outcome was disappointing for us, this Postseason has been pretty epic.

Though now I have a feeling that the Dodgers are going to roll the field.

I feel like they are going to roll in NLCS, maybe not WS.

Disappointing the Cubs have a longer season than we did. I'm an AL fan this year from here (as a longtime PNW resident and hockey fan with lots of Canadian friends).

Phillies hangover was too much for me to stay up for that game last night though.

Still hoping for a Seattle - Milwaukee WS.

Two American League teams

Milwaukee is NL if that was to me

zambonir 2025-10-11 16:24:56 UTC #29

Yes, but only since 1995.

That's 30 years ago, z. Where do we draw the line? Do we limit "real" NL clubs to those that predate the 1962 expansion?

I guess I could have put a winking emoji in there. When I think of the Brewers I still think Harvey's Wallbangers and the AL... while others might think of it as an NL city, but not that team.

Whereas I rarely blink at the Astros being in the AL just from watching them so much during this era. I see that cap now and think of '22 more than '80.

The Brewers were originally the Seattle Pilots . Milwaukee poached them in 1970. It would be interesting to see the Brewers play Mariners in the WS.

Anyone but the Dodgers at this point

mdougherty12 2025-10-12 02:09:00 UTC #34

I hadn't been paying close attention to Brewers-Cubs series. I didn't realize Hoskins was left off Milwaukee's NLDS roster.

zambonir 2025-10-12 03:01:14 UTC #35

He got Pipped

zambonir 2025-10-12 14:38:21 UTC #36

Well, the high seed/rested team won every series but ours.

The Dodgers got injured pitchers back and they pitched very well against us. There surplus SP did great in relief against us. They were the better team. Our series demonstrates the need for more top pitchers in the playoffs. If we don't have Suarez back or another top SP, we are short on pitching for next season. Painter will be second year back from surgery and should help at some time. If he is as good as we expect he will be a playoff plus. It's not enough. More pitching still needed.
