MLB Playoffs start today

It's the pitching. Both sides can hit like crazy.
 
Every series was 1-1 after the first two games (Mets rolled Philly today to go up 2-1). Great for fans who want to see more games. Dodgers have a bad history of choking this time of year. They're nearing Atlanta territory (all those division titles and playoff berths and only 1 World Series title to show for it).
 
Peter Alonzo has proven himself. Mets pitching is top notch. The Mets in general are playing great.
 
Man these Mets are great in late innings, these guys are the comeback kids. The Phillies can't be counted out yet but I don't think they have enough pitching to keep from being on the wrong end of big innings. Even Ohtani and Manny Machado can't get me interested in that series but let's see tonight.

Betts barely gets a HR. He sure needed that.

Won't ever happen. You eliminate the tension and excitment of a 2 strike count that can go on for multiple pitches. It would speed up the game, prevent injuries, and lessen how many runs are scored, which could lead to less lopsided outcomes.

There is good and bad to donig that, but it won't happen.

i can see what he talking about the other day in one of the games the batter had 8 straight fouls...i never thought they would try and restrict pitchers to 100 pitches....but yet they are...

It makes the complete games records of great pitchers like Bob Gibson all the more remarkable. These guys would finish every game, and even go into extra innings still pitching.

i saw Nolan Ryan pitch 13 innings with the angels....they claim he had 235 pitches....he struck out 19...and Lois Tiant also went 13 what a dual.......ryan made his next start against the Yankees he pitched six scoreless innings on just three days’ rest.....those guys were something....
