What’s that wheezing sound in Milwaukee and San Diego? It’s the Mets and Braves…
Both wild-card series get under way today, after the unnecessary drama of the double-header yesterday. What’s left of the Atlanta and New York rosters arrived in their destinations late last night, and I’m sure that’s going to pose an issue for them. Less chaotically, the American League wild-card games also get under way. The main narrative there will be the return of A.J. Hinch as Tigers manager, returning to the team in Houston with whom he… well, y’know. Here’s the schedule for the day, with all times Arizona.
- 11:32 am: Tigers @ Astros (0-0, ABC)
- 1:08 pm: Royals @ Orioles (0-0. ESPN2)
- 2:32 pm: Mets @ Brewers (0-0, ESPN)
- 5:38 pm: Braves @ Padres (0-0, ESPN)
