***2025 Wild Card Discussion Thread***
 

Have at it boys, starting a little after 1 EST today!

DET vs CLE
SD vs CHI
BOS vs NNY
CIN vs LAD

It's so hard for me to predict this three game wild card round.

However, I feel that the Tigers & Red Sox need to win game 1.

Tiger MUST win every Skubal start. Rest of the staff is a roller coaster.

4 elimination games tomorrow!

NN Yankees is right.

Let's go Sox.

Sox 5-2 in NY this year with Crochet on the mound! Bello 3-1 in NY. Let's end this in 2!

You like that? By the way it's Sux...and they do suck.

Would be beyond amazing if the Yankees and Dodgers lost in the WC round. GO TRIBE!!!!

Fox would preempt the ws with another round of the masked pedophile.

LOL, probably.

The AL side is extremely juicy. The NL side, well, they're playing baseball too :p

CLE over DET in 3
BOS over NYY in 3
LAD over CIN in 2
SDP over CHC in 3

Would love for Sox/Yankees to go 3 games, easily the most intriguing series on the list. On the flip side, Dodgers/Reds looks like a snoozefest on paper, but that'll change quickly if Hunter Greene is good and the Reds steal game 1

Tigers/CLE is a little interesting following the collapse/comeback but can't pretend like I believe in either team at all. Padres/Cubs should be a good matchup and it'd be fun for either of those teams to make a deep run

Can't say I'm a fan of 1pm starts for all the Guards games, seems a little ridiculous, but obviously we all know why.

Hoping the Guards can keep it going and you never know what can happen in the playoffs.

Going to be a fun ride all the way around with good games and teams beyond my fandom.

Do the Cubs have any pitching? Can't say I'm not really impressed by their starters.

Tork!!!

Big moment there for Guards getting the double play and then striking out Guard killer Carpenter.

1987 Twins the last team to get into the playoffs with a negative run differential. But unfortunately Guards don't have a hall of fame pitcher like bert blyleven

That's pretty shocking honestly. With all the playoff expansion through the years, I figured several other previous wild card teams fell into this category.

I was surprised myself honestly

Fun fact: Total tax payroll was 6.38B, 3.2B has been eliminated. The 12 playoffs team represent about half of the total payroll, 3.1B

The most charmed team on the planet I swear.

Guards Ball score from 2nd on a chop single... charm and hustle working together.

Imagine that Williams vs Skubal 1-1 going into bottom of 6th... No surprise here

Tigers turning the tables on Guards all the sudden...

Defense hurting Guards today JRod and Noel now...

Gaddis coming in... Good day for Williams
