    Anybody care? I am paying attention to the Twins but it is Minnesota we can't have nice things. Playoff baseball is so intense and fun to watch.

    I am as a big baseball fan. I would love to see the twins or rangers make it. My team isn’t there this year. I also am watching the dbacks but don’t really cheer for the NL so…

    Seriously Byron Buxton a pinch hitter? Guy has not hit against MLB pitching in over a month and suddenly he is ready for playoff big boy pitching? Rocco is a joke of a manager.

    The AL central as a whole was pretty rough this year

    28 strike outs in 2 games, that is over a full game of strike in 2 games, they suck.

    October baseball is electric. I don't even have a team in the race and I was glued to that Braves/Phillies game last night. I wish the Cubbies would have kept Castellanos. That dude can ball!

    Kinda bummed the Orioles and Braves both got dumped already, but it should be fun to watch the rest of the way! Hoping for a Phillies / Astros World Series.

    Love the fact that his kid is seated right by dugout and they always look at each other after his home runs. Awesome they share that experience.

    I’m hoping for the rangers. I love big game Nate. He was one of my favorites when he was with the Sox. It’s awesome to see some different teams. Bryce Harper is a gamer. He plays so good in October.

    I watched most of the Rangers/Astros game last night with my older son. I really don't have a preference between the two teams, but he's pulling for the Rangers in this series, so I guess I am too. Tough to see Verlander pitch as well as he did and still get the L. But you gotta score runs if you want your team to win!

    Astros fan here. Does not look good after two games but, the team did not fold yet. Stros can still get hot and Rangers...maybe just maybe could cool off a little...

    Shwarbs and Castellanos putting the wood to it last night! Couple of former Cubs that they shoulda kept. :mad:

    'Stros aren't looking so hot right now! It will be fun to see what Scherzer can do coming off the bench.

    Much like hockey, the baseball playoffs are infinitely more exciting than the regular season. The atmosphere is electric. I love me some MLB playoffs. Brings back memories of being a kid, watching the Braves teams from the mid-90's.

    I work just outside of the city. It's electric, which puts everyone in the city in a good mood. Very healthy.

    Rangers series was awesome. Dbacks and Phillies also having a great series. Hopefully the World Series is awesome. I don’t really have a dog in the fight. It would be cool to see the dbacks win it. I love big game Nate so I would be happy for the rangers too. The Phillies are gamers and have earned it as well so wouldn’t be disappointed to see them go all the way
