Only 14 of 32 make it in the NFL but your point remains.

Its really hard to make the playoffs in baseball.

I guess to each their own. Save it for winning the Wildcard series or something.

But yes, its a long season and its well earned.

Yeah, save the celebration for a series win. Grabbing a wild-card spot doesn’t do it for me.

Well, it does it for them, and I guess that’s all that matters

Why the heck is Springer not playing in a significant game? If you see him as a meaningful player, sitting him in a game you need a win, shouldn't be gambled on. Saving Gausman is much more important than helping out Springer.

I would have someone already warming up to be safe. Don’t piss around.

I like that they're putting pressure on the pitcher with runners possibly stealing. Should be a norm, vs exception.

Some good AB's but without a starter, pitch count doesn't really matter in this game. Needed to get a couple hits there.
