The two teams with the best records in all of Major League Baseball met up for a battle of heavyweights in the National League Division Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers (106-56), after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card Game, met up with the San Francisco Giants (107-55). The series did not disappoint as it went the full five games with a total barn burner coming in Game 5.
The Minnesota Twins were expected to win the AL Central this season or at least battle the Chicago White Sox for the top spot. That’s not quite how it went down. Let’s recap their season and hand out a few awards.
The Kansas City Royals finished the 2021 season slightly above expectations, at 74-88, and look to have a bright future ahead of them.
The Philadelphia Phillies had another up-and-down year, as they missed the postseason for the 10th straight season. They finished above .500 at 82-80 for the first time since losing the National League Division Series to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Over the last few weeks, the Boston Red Sox have proven many critics wrong. The offense has been on fire in the playoffs, as they have pulled off several thrilling wins. One key to their success is Kiké Hernández.
The National League Division Series between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers had a combined run total of nine runs in the first three games. Then in the clinching Game 4 for the Braves, the teams combined to score nine runs.
The Astros take the series 3-1 in pretty convincing fashion. It is on to the ALCS to face the surprising Red Sox but first, let’s take a look back on the series with the White Sox.
Postseason baseball is pretty cool. Divisional postseason baseball is superior. But divisional postseason baseball with two consecutive walk-offs? Oh, baby.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a long history of great players. Who makes their All-Time 26-man roster?
Third Down Thursdays to returns with Week 5 NFL takes, MLB playoff chaos and some NBA preseason breakdowns.
Over the last two years, Tanner Houck has been key to the Boston Red Sox’s success. On Friday night, he continued to play a vital role when needed the most.
