D'Backs playoff hunt

[TJ]

Gonna get it out of the way so is to not sound like a salty bitch if we lose the game.

I hate the new Wild Card format. If we lose, this entire ride will be all for naught.

I agree that one and done is kinda a kick in the nuts after a long 162 game season.

Don't expect MLB to change it though, I heard that the ratings for the wildcard game are typically higher than they are in the next round. The drama is kinda hard to beat.

What do you guys think for the WC game. Obviously we send Greinke out for that game, so how do you handle his final start of the season?

1. If he pitches in his usual spot, he'd pitch Wednesday against the Giants, and then not again till the WC game the following Wednesday.

2. Or we could hold him off and pitch him Friday against the Royals, and he could pitch the WC game on his usual 5 days rest.

3. Or we could not pitch him at all until the WC game.

Either way you are breaking up the normal routine a bit. What say you?

No way it's still the playoffs.

Ask him and do what he tells you.

WAHOOO! Win that game and let's get it on!

It looks like playoff tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9a.m. Are they sold online or do we call. Any info would be appreciated.

Would you say the same thing for the team that loses the World Series? The entire ride would have been for naught?

I am a baseball purist, back to the days when there was one pennant winner in each league, the team on top of the final standings. But a lot has changed since then.

I don't think what we've fought for and accomplished is all for naught and I question why anyone would hate their team advancing to the next level.

It represents an extra feeling of pride. For the Valley of the Sun and the State. For the front office and management crew. And especially for the players and die-hard fans.

And a twinkle in our eyes and extra pride in our heart, whatever happens during the post season, because it raises the bar for next season.
Please reconsider any sentence that has the word "hate" in it.

Sorry Native; http://m.mlb.com/dbacks/tickets/postseason/ Nothing on the dbacks postseason page says whether or not they will go onsale online or what.

I sent them a DM on facebook, will let you know what they say.

At least there is a 7 game series. Not just a one a done game.

It's baseball, stick with routine - #1. Should the Dbacks win the WC, the matchups against LA are better based on the last month of play against them.

One and done is hard but it's better than the old 2 from a side. Maybe 3 games I don't know. It's 1, then 5, 7, and 7. It's still the playoffs and they made it. I don't get anyone thinking if we don't win the 1 game it's a waste. We have a playoff team and at worst a playoff game to watch. It could be season over like it is for most teams.

 

[AZ Native]

Why does the #4 team play the #1 team, while the #5 team gets the #2 team after the 1 game playoff. Shouldn't it be #4 against #2 and #5 against #1?

Dumbo question here:

If the National League Championship ends up being the Cubs and the DBacks, and the DBacks have a better record, are the Dbacks the home team? (Don't know if there's a "penalty" for being the wild card team).

Thanks!

Pretty sure the DBacks will be the road team until the WS.

That is correct. Division winners take home field over wild card, even if WC has better record in the league playoffs.

The WS is strictly on best record.

Thank you, gentlemen!!!
