Well, the Astros just went out and got Justin Verlander at the last possible minute before the (postseason) deadline. I'm really happy they did this, despite giving up three top prospects. The team has been struggling ever since Carlos Correa got injured and the starting pitching has been suspect since the All-Star break. The city itself also needed a morale boost in light of what's happened throughout the last week so I salute the front office for making this deal right in the nick of time.
At the very least, I feel as though this gives the 'Stros more of a fighting chance once the playoffs roll around. Boston/Cleveland are going to be SUPER tough as well as whoever takes the Wild Card slot, so this was a move worth making. My optimism has returned!

So my Rockies made the playoffs for the first time since 2009. Rocktober is upon us once again. I forgot how much fun it is when your team is in the race the entire season.
The do or die wild card game in Phoenix against the Dbacks on Wednesday is gonna be a good one. Grienke vs Gray. Grienke has had a great season and may finish top 3 in the CY Young but the Rockies seem to have his number. Most of their lineup is hitting over .300 against him and it's not a small sample size. And Jon Gray has been pitching like the ace he was drafted to be ever since he came off the DL in late June.
Either way, it's gonna be an exciting game and I know the Dodgers aren't thrilled about having to face either team, as both of them won their season series against the Dodgers. And if I'm not mistaken, all four of Kershaw's losses this season have come against the Rockies and Dbacks.

I'm a Rockies fan too. I guess I didn't understand the wildcard rules. I just read the Rockies have been in playoff position every day the whole 2017 season. Let's hope this is the year!

Some really interesting playoffs this year - Cleveland and Houston look like superteams in the AL and no one knows what to make of the Dodgers in the NL. They won a million games then lost a million games. Obviously the Yankees will beat the Twins in the Wildcard game and their series against Cleveland will be fun to watch.
Not too much confidence in my Red Sox this year because they can't seem to hit with any consistency but anything can happen.
If I were to throw a guess out there, I think Washington may finally get to the WS against Cleveland.
I love playoff baseball! My favorite time of the year.

Tragedy for the Brewers, but a good season overall.

The Astros' pickup of Verlander turned out to be a very, very good call. They're playing well again. Fingers crossed.

Win or lose, Girardi is gone next year IMO. Who would be the best fit to develop this new, young Yankee team?

Really like this Astros team. Scary 1 thru 9. Hinch really played it like an elimination game bringing in Verlander to bridge the gap to Giles.
So Keuchel to start game 1 of the alcs?
