If watching is caring then yeah, I care at  least somewhat.  It's cool to see franchises like the Reds and Padres become relevant again. White Sox and Marlins too.

Having a 4 way race for the last wild card going into the last 2 games is pretty cool.  I'm a Giants fan, and a fair-weather Mets fan, but I wish I had any confidence in either of them, and I have no confidence in whoever gets that slot and has to face the Dodgers.

Maybe it's NL West bias but I feel like whoever comes out of the top half of the NL bracket - Dodgers or Padres - will handle ATL for the NL pennant and go on to beat the Rays or Yankees or whoever.

I understand the shortened season, but my feelings are meh. Baseball for me, is all about the grind, what team can grind it out and come up the winner for 168 plus playoff games.

However, I am pretty impressed that the Marlins are in, but under a normal season, probably not!

Now, none of that.  If we can get excited about college baseball with its shorter season, or high school baseball even shorter, heck if we can get excited about a weekend-long travel tournament, we can get excited about this.  It's baseball - heard that the Brewers just turned a triple play.  It's still a triple play, just because there wasn't a full season of grind behind it.

The White Sox are absolute monsters, but my Twins can be very good, especially if Odorizzi comes back and is effective. Cleveland also has a great pitching staff, which is everything. The AL Central has been unexpectedly strong.

The big prediction on ESPN is that the Twins will finally win a playoff game.  Tough time to play at 1:00 PM.  Will have to find a way to watch on my phone while 'working'.
