According to ESPN, this is the first time in 30 years the postseason won't include the Cardinals, Red Sox or Yankees.
Not sure what to do with that, but thought it was interesting.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Mariners bump the Astros out of the AL Wildcard.
Need to sweep the Dodgers to avoid a losing record. Definitely not playing well enough to do that, and a .500 record isn't going to paper over the cracks in this team.
A disappointing season, but they did have a very strong run for a couple of months, and a lot of intriguing prospects made their major league debuts, so there's something to build on. Zaidi and Kapler need to learn from their mistakes and make adjustments. If the team is in a similar spot this time next year, they should be gone.
There should not be fans in the stadiums according to Braves pitcher Spencer Strider.

Braves' Spencer Strider offers scorching hot take: 'Get rid of the fans'
Atlanta Braves star Spencer Strider gave his sports hot take in a recent interview and appeared to long for the days fans were not allowed in the ballpark.
He doesn't like "loud" fans in the seats at the infield. I assume he means the obnoxious ones. That problem could largely be solved by banning alcohol sales.
But the clubs make too much profit selling alcohol. Blows me away that so many people pound beers at the ballpark to the point of belligerent inebriation, especially considering how much they have to pay for them. Some people "pre-game" more intensively than others, but clubs should have less tolerance for abusive drunks and eject them from the park more frequently.
Interesting comments from Farhan Zaidi that cast some doubt on Gape Kapler's future. The narrative is taking shape that Kapler let things get too lax in the clubhouse, and with the absence of veteran leaders with credibility to set the tone, internal disciplinary standards have really slid. Looking from the outside, the team has gotten very sloppy, setting a franchise record for strikeouts and making an unacceptable amount of errors and mental lapses defensively.
First time posting in this thread. I’m a Guardians fan, so to say this season has been a disappointment is an understatement. Given the pitching situation, I hope for a rebound next year, but more offense is a huge need. Just not sure how the team can meaningfully address it, even with a possible Bieber trade.
COOL!
After missing playoffs for 2nd straight year, Giants dismiss Kapler
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants announced Friday that manager Gabe Kapler has been dismissed in the wake of a disastrous September collapse that left them out of the playoff picture for the second consecutive year. Kapler earned NL Manager of the Year honors after helping to steer the Giants to

That would definitely make my day
They’re now only one game back… admittedly they are playing the Rangers, one of the better teams this year. Go Mariners! Boo Astros!
Was getting blasted by notifications about this yesterday but still sucks...

Selfless teammate, 'extraordinary human' Tim Wakefield passes away
BALTIMORE -- Tim Wakefield, who used his darting knuckleball to become the third winningest pitcher in Red Sox history, died from brain cancer at the age of 57 on Sunday, the Red Sox announced. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Tim Wakefield, one of the most unique pitchers

Shame about Tim Wakefield, he wasn’t that old. He was one of the few pitchers of that era who I never had a chance to see play in the flesh.
You know what annoys me? That MLB sold the postseason tv rights for the Netherlands to ESPN, which means I can’t take a cheap $30 deal on MLB.TV just for streamed postseason coverage anymore but would have to subscribe to a much more expensive cable package to get it, which most of the year I don’t want. Harrumph.

Yeah, the postseason is ALWAYS on cable channels in the US. It's beyond stupid. You could try Sling TV or Fubo but at that point, you might as well pay for a cable subscription.
