I think the Rays are getting that beat longer right now the whole east are chokers in playoffs the past decade apart from boston

I wonder how yankees fans feel about Sonny Gray Evoldi and Montgomery right now doing so great

Can't choke if you never have a lead!

choking doesn't just mean that. it means being a great regular season team and just sucking in the playoffs dodgers have done this a lot and if you take out the 2020 fake season then they really haven't still won a big one yet

(something Peyton Manning did a lot or Kewshaw for many years)

Brewers and blue jays are the big 'won and done' teams

For starters, neither the Blue Jays nor the Brewers were great regular season teams. And best-of-3 series are essentially coinflips. Assigning wins and losses in a short series to character virtues and flaws is pointless IMO.

the Brewers have won that division many times ahead of the cardinals the past decade and it's always been the cardinals passing better then them

the blue jays are always winning over 90 games too it is just they are in the East and the Twins are in the worst division in baseball that don't even need 80 wins to win it!

Yeah I know it's not any fun to not have a hot take right after the postseason, but maybe [insert team here] just happened to lose 2 games in a row like they've done 20 other times throughout the year. Doesn't always have to be a "choking" narrative about every series. The more often you make the playoffs the more often you will lose in the playoffs.

Sounds like the decision to remove Berrios from the game DIDN'T come from anyone on the Jays bench or bullpen....
