GDT: 2020 AL Wild Card Series: (3) Minnesota Twins vs (6) Houston Astros (HOU wins 2-0)

That's what happens in a 2- or 3- game series. 2 games isn't even a slump, it just sucks. Randomizer gets turned up that much more, especially when you make mistakes.

So looks like 6 over 3 isn’t just an Islanders thing.

Way too many false equivalencies, dude.

HOT TAKE: the Astros should not have been a 6 seed.

they had the worst record of the 8 playoff teams. Shouldn’t they have had to play Tampa? Toronto and the White Sox had better records

We thought a 5 game qualifiers was random Russian roulette for the Oilers/Pens. Best of 3 is even more randomized.

What a disaster for the Twins.

18 straight. It's not even unbelievable at this point, it's just sad.

Its not sad to me

That was random too. That's why it was so important for the teams in the round robin to play without their lives being on the line, 7 of the 8 teams won their first round playoff series. Quite frankly, baseball should've tried to do the same thing or give byes if finishing at the top of the division was supposed to mean anything. But if you're taking the regular season at face value the Astros were 7 games behind the Twins, that stuff happens in the playoffs all the time.

If we get a White Sox/Astros ALDS...... oy

I’m so sick of the Twins making the playoffs. At this point they’re just a waste of a spot that could instead be held someone who’d actually show up.

Sox/Astros > A's/Astros IMO

But the A's/Astros one is sadly more likely

Idk how the Twins lose 18 playoff games in a row.

It’s one thing to go nearly 18 years without advancing in the playoffs ala the Leafs, but even they don’t get swept.

To you lol. A's and Astros have current hatred.

Might as well go all-in on the villain role

Love him even more lol but I do prefer him to stay quiet and be humble. Watch Astros get swept in the next round now haha. Which is quite possible. Still not confident in the bats and that would mean the pitchers will have to be excellent again. Dodged a bullet in game 1 and 2 in the 1st inning. Had the Twins scored early on to take the lead and who knows what the series would have been.

I find it hilarious that the 6 seed had the 8th best record in the AL.

If anything, the Twins should have been playing the White Sox.

Yeah I didn't understand the seedings. What was the reasoning? Any idea?
