Talkin' baseball
So I have started doing reactions of what I’m watching this year (so far just The Orville and The Good Place, though I’m going to start Inhumans and maybe Discovery when I get the chance), but for the moment I’m going to talk about something different. It’s that time of year when I talk baseball.
Especially this year since my Rockies are in the playoffs. We’ll see how long it lasts, but it’s been a fun season that I hope continues well into October.
And so Wild Card game predictions:
AL: Twins vs. Yankees
NY has to be favored since they came in ahead of Minnesota but I’m rooting for the Twins. I’m basically incapable of rooting for the Yankees plus I’m angling for a frozen world series between Minn. and Colorado. But I don’t really know enough about AL teams to know how to predict the outcome.
NL: Rockies vs. D-backs
Obviously I’m rooting for the Rockies, they’re my team, but in a one game showdown I’m not going to lay odds on either team. They’re played each other enough this season that there are no surprises coming; the D-backs definitely have the edge on the season series, though in Arizona they’re pretty even as I recall. It might come down to if Martinez is playing like a human again or still curb-stomping everybody. GO ROCKIES.
