Baseball ⚾️ Playoffs ⚾️

Man, the playoffs are off to a booming start.

Find me one football game - in the last 20 years - that was as good as the Monday afternoon game between the Braves and the Mets…

…and that was just to get into the tournament.

Since that game we watched the Astros and Orioles get bounced.

They were two heavily favored teams in matchups with teams with much lower payrolls.

The Tigers entire team is making less money than the guy they got the 3-run double off of.

What I’ve always enjoyed about baseball is that you can see something different every night.

A low-scoring affair.

A slugfest.

No running out the clock.

The pitch has to be thrown and the ball has to be hit.

Also, they’ve sped up the game without any of us really noticing.

I loved the Yankees-Red Sox battles 20 years ago, but those game would go 4 and a half hours!

The Braves-Padres game 1 was over in 129 minutes.

The shift is gone.

12 slow tosses to first base when a runner gets on - gone!

It’s the greatest sport.

Hardly ever a concussion.

The players aren’t dying on the field, and it takes skill to put that round bat on the round ball.

The best!

And the Yankees haven’t even started yet.
