9/18: ALCS/NLCS Open Game Thread

The MLB decided to schedule a potentially-decisive Game 4 for 1 PM on a Tuesday because they literally just heard that the club was goin’ up on a Tuesday, and we at Lookout dropped the ball. We regret the error. Here is a place to chat about the game in retrospect, make fun of Trevor Bauer’s leaky finger, whatever you want to do.

A reminder of who played in this game:

I am not a fan of the Jays, so go Cleveland, but I am a fan of MOAR BASEBALL and caps that don’t feature Chief Wahoo, so go Blue Jays. Ugh now I need a shower.

EDIT: Okay also apparently there's an NLCS game.  Talk about that here, too. Here's who's playing in that one:

This series is tied 1-1 so my rooting interests are split here. I will be very interested in how Rich Hill performs, if only to guess at how many 0s are in the contract he signs this year. Hill has pitched a grand total of seven innings in his playoff action so far, so he needs to give the Dodgers some innings to help conserve their bullpen, although Jake Arrieta has also had some shorter starts this year. In my opinion, this game has equal chances of being a pitcher's duel or both sides having their bullpens active by the fifth, so of course it will be a dinger-fest in which both starters go eight despite each giving up three-run home runs.
