Do you think teams need extra incentive to win in the in playoffs? Like, they are going to try "extra hard" if we see them in the playoffs because of how this season went? And we are obviously talking about a potential ALCS series in this case and quite frankly, I'd be thrilled if we are there and will take whoever we get.vball10set;1813079 wrote:am I the only one who doesn't want to play Detoilet in the post season? yes, we owned them during the season (with our pitching at full strength), but IMO, this just gives them extra incentive to knock us out...and that would just plain suck.

Lol, of course I'd rather face them than Texas or Boston, but to discount them is assinine--even for a cameramanLaley23;1813098 wrote:Lol, why would anyone NOT want to face Detroit?
Lol, between the three teams of course I'd rather face Detoilet, but I'm not about to discount them as an easy WLaley23;1813098 wrote:Lol, why would anyone NOT want to face Detroit?

Well yes, but we would face them in a 7 game series. I prefer that to both Texas and Boston, but especially Boston.Ironman92;1813105 wrote:Cabrera catching fire worries me in a 1 game matchup
are the ALDS and ALCS both 7 game series?Laley23;1813108 wrote:Well yes, but we would face them in a 7 game series. I prefer that to both Texas and Boston, but especially Boston.
No, ALDS is 5.vball10set;1813109 wrote:are the ALDS and ALCS both 7 game series?
I don't even know why they're being talked about, as far as Cleveland and playoffs go. They have work to do just to get into the playoffs, since they're currently on the outside looking in. And if they accomplish that, they'd first have to (in all likelihood) win a road wild card game and then go against the top seed in the AL.Laley23;1813098 wrote:Lol, why would anyone NOT want to face Detroit?
I do think they make the playoffs. They have the Columbus Clippers and Atlanta Braves to end the year.Heretic;1813118 wrote:I don't even know why they're being talked about, as far as Cleveland and playoffs go.

For Cleveland right now, it just goes down to whether they'll face Boston or Texas in the divisional series. Detroit's only relevant as a potential ALCS opponent on the tiny chance everything aligns in their favor.
* = http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx , which says (if reading it right) 8.6% chance of them getting through the ALDS into the ALCS.

Baltimore has the Yankees and Toronto has Red Sox. Tigers very well may win out. The others, I doubt sweep their last opponents.
