Well, arguably it happened in the 1981 NLCS -- Neither the Dodgers nor the Expos had the best record in their divisions if you look at the standings for the entire year.For the first time in league history, an LCS will not have a division winner in it. (This is the first year this could have happened, of course.)
And neither of the teams with the best records in the two NL divisions (Cardinals in the NLE; Reds in the NLW) even made the playoffs that year.Well, arguably it happened in the 1981 NLCS -- Neither the Dodgers nor the Expos had the best record in their divisions if you look at the standings for the entire year.

Ha! I went to a game at Petco in September against the Diamondbacks and the Arizona fans were noticeably louder than the Padres fans. Lovely park and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I wasn’t in the minority in rooting against the home team.Rhys Hoskins’ wife with shade against SD

lol I thought it’d be loud here
That was pure makeup. Ump knew he blew the fair/foul call on the dribble; anything close would be a strikeOn Soto's strikeout, umps never call that when the catcher moves his glove that much.
Miss that guy.Schwarber with a missile that even Maverick couldn’t outrun. Wow, he blasted that thing.
The elusive 1.000 xBA. Even on the longest homers it always seems to be like 0.990.
That high strike was generous, but the ump has been giving both starters the lower left part of the plate all game. I'd have to see it again but I feel like even the Soto make-up call wasn't too far off the Realmuto K looking.Wheeler getting the calls. When you are dealing, it’s one of the benefits.
Absolutely. The 2018 season ending K was the best but every Machado fail is smile inducing.Machado failing will never not make me smile.
I'm with the announcers, taking him out seems like a mistakeFFS, Wheeler is crushing it. Super impressive game tonight.
He looks fine, with a premium on managing your pen given the unusually low number of off days why not leave him in until he lets a guy reach on a walk or legit hit?I'm with the announcers, taking him out seems like a mistake
