From a pretty lousy start, to Sandy not pitching well early on, to losing a key pitcher in Rogers, to the horrific two month stretch between July and August, to Sandy going down for the season, to Eury going down, to Jazz being in and out of the lineup due to injuries, to Robertson blowing numerous key saves, to Soler and Arraez both getting hurt in the home stretch, to the fiasco at Citi Field... The way they have been able to pick themselves off the mat time and time again this season has been crazy. And even though they are missing numerous key guys going into the playoffs, they might just have enough guts and magic in them to win a series. Yeah even though the cards are stacked against us on paper, there’s a special feeling to this club that gives the potential to go on further.

October 1, 20233 yr Gotta ask... not that they'll tank it but, how much less does the team press tomorrow? Skip has to rest some key guys and won't bother with his best bullpen arms right?
October 1, 20233 yr Playoffs!!!!!! Fan again since 2008! Wooooooooo. When I was younger, fan 99-02, then I rooted for expos 03- they left for DC.

BUT, I think there’s something to be said about making sure guys are still sharp. But with the series staring Tuesday, rest wouldn’t be bad

As of right now, the Marlins would be ahead of the Diamondbacks, which would mean we get the Phillies instead of the Brewers in the first round. Question: does the winner of the 4-5 matchup automatically play the 1? Or is it the lowest seed that is remaining that plays the 1? If it's the former, we mighttt wanna avoid the Braves, in which case, sixth would actually be better than fifth lol. Edited October 1, 20233 yr by Valid

They said on the broadcast that 2nd seed plays the Phillies and winner of that plays the Braves. WC3 plays the Brewers and winner of that plays the Dodgers

It's one games rest, not a whole week off like the Braves and Dodgers will get so just rest them, it's not gonna hurt. They won't be "unsharp" with one day's extra rest. 6 minutes ago, Valid said: Depends on if he wants the fifth seed or not. I don't think seeding is as important as resting guys because of how many injuries and tough games we've had lately. It's been a grind and they've gotta take that into account.

I go back to how the Panthers made the run to the finals and I actually think sweeping and having so much time off hurt them. But yeah, 1 game isn’t going to be that different

October 1, 20233 yr First time as a more invested fan I get to experience a post-season run! Was a filthy casual in '97 and an anti-cub in '03. '20 doesn't count
