TWIB 10.8.23 – Wild Card results & Division Series so far – Ep. 437

The Wild Card Series were mostly a snore-fest unless your team was the winner. All the series were wrapped up in 2 games. Tampa Bay Rays didn’t need to travel after they lost 2 straight at home in front of meager playoff crowds. The Jays could not pitch well enough to overcome a good hitting team in the Texas Rangers who’ve continued mashing winning the 1st two games of the Division Series in Baltimore. 

The Phillies dispatched the Marlins like a big brother dismisses his younger sibling. And the Brewers once they learned Brandon Woodruff was injured and would not pitch against the D’Backs, folded like a cheap suitcase.  The D’backs continued their surprising run routing Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers in Game 1.  The Astros were just waiting for the playoffs where Jose Altuve hit the 1st pitch of the game for a home run. Yordan Alvarez hit not one but two home runs. Seems like old times. We recap the manager and GM changes two as the playoffs are in full swing!
