#1998I can't believe Texas started Holland he has been horrible for the last month or more, and he got lit up early and often as expected. Dickey has been quite good lately although there is always a chance for a really bad one out of him. They warmed Price up to relieve last night so that kind of pushed him back to game 5. As much of a playoff choker as Price has been I feel better with Dickey starting than him. I went heavy on the Blue Jays today, and I won't tomorrow.Comment -

#1999Jays are bringing Price in to relieve today, very interesting. Looks like Stroman starts game 5.Comment -

#2000One pitch to get Choo out, good move by Gibbons Choo and Beltre were a combined 4-4 vs Dickey and now Price can relieve tomorrow too.Comment -

#2005pitching and defense help get you to the playoffs, they don't have as many hot and cold streaks as hitting
but hitting can surely WIN you the playoffs if you are hot enoughComment -

#2010Lackey is better than Hammel but the Cubs are better hitters, I want to take the Cubs but I'm not sure Hammel can keep them in it.Comment -

#2011Yeah, yesterday was definitely an "Over's Delight"
Word! That's a major reason why this postseason has been so entertaining, yet very unpredictable...Comment -

#2012What do you all think about the 2-2-1 Best-of-5 format?
I could be wrong, but wasn't it a 2-3 format several years ago?Comment -

#2014During the time that the League Championship Series was best-of-five, a "2-3" format was used, with one team hosting the first two games, the other the last three (these respective roles alternating between the Eastern and Western Division champions regardless of which one finished with the better regular-season record). This procedure was repeated at first when the best-of-five Division Series was added in 1995 (except that two of each league's now three division winners hosted three games and the wild card could never do so), but starting in 1998 the home-field advantage was awarded to the two division winners in each league that had the best records; also in 1998, the "2-2-1" format was instituted, the team with the home-field advantage being given the first, second and fifth games at home instead of the third, fourth and fifth. For the 2012 postseason, the Division Series reverted to "2-3".Comment -

#2020I'm torn between the 2-2-1-1-1 and the 2-3-2.
The travel definitely plays a factor, especially if it's an east coast team and a west coast team.
Thinking it over, I prefer the 2-2-1-1-1...Comment -

#2023deGrom and Greinke tomorrow night could very well be an instant classic.
I'm really looking forward to that one. Does anyone dare take the Over? I might?
I also like the Mets to win and advance!Comment -

This could be a pitching classic. The Tex/Tor game today was a classic in a different way, but if you saw it you will never forget it.Comment -

#2025O/U is 6 Hard to get that one over unless Greinke implodes and that is hard to imagine. I am rolling with my Mets. deGrom can pitch with anyone and the Mets are better hitters at this point than the Dodgers.

Sadly, I missed the craziness in Toronto today. Can't believe what I'm hearing!Comment -

#2028That 7th inning was insane today, catcher throwing back to pitcher hits batters bat and run scores from third, 3 straight errors and a seeing eye bloop followed by a Bautista BOMB in the bottom half. and a catcher getting taken out by a clean hard slide.Comment -
