The Ducks open the 2024 playoffs at home vs the one-win Marlins.

Big missed opportunity by Sheraden by not going with the Jeff Conine-era unis.

Those are sharp.

I’m gonna have a longer post about ringers and cheating after the season. I tried to work it in here, but it was long. I’ll post it mid-week so people can kill time at work reading it.

I don’t think there’s a ton to say about this game. We didn’t get out of the play-in round, and this bracket is terrible, so here we are. We should win, but we can’t take them lightly, etc.

What hurt us this year were injuries to three or four pitchers who we were counting on to make significant contributions.

I think we can still make a deep playoff run if we get some bounces.

Bad news for Sheraden
