The Playoffs After 4 Days


Not that anything going on this season was particularly likely, but who'd have thought that Jhoulys Chacin, a guy who was bopping around in the minors a few years ago, would become such a hero for the Brewers this year, and take down some of the more overbearing pitchers for the Dodgers? Last night, he pitched a gem, with six strikeouts, only 3 hits, and no earned runs. It also helped that the still-hot lineup, filled with insane performances by Ryan Braun, Christian Yelich, Travis Shaw and Orlando Arcia, were able to cement the victory over what's become an increasingly unpredictable Dodgers team.

They're up 2-1 in LA, and I hope they can keep it up.

Meanwhile...

This guy cemented his MVP case by having a phenomenal day in Boston, hitting off of even the toughest of Gerrit Cole performances. The lineup came alive under David Price, and the bullpen that'd previously felt imperfect kept a steady ship. With the series tied 1-1, and the Houston crowd about to get a taste of the action, it's still uncertain which way this series is going to go, as both teams are fantastic and could easily notch a win.

I mean...we all know which way I'd LIKE this series to go, but...besides that, it's still pretty open.

Both series' continue tonight. The plot will continue to thicken.
