By the end of the night, weather permitting, there will have been 12 playoff games played. I found something sorta interesting about those dozen games, if not very important.
In the AL Wild Card Game on Tuesday, neither Toronto’s nor Baltimore’s starting pitcher had Texas ties, but the pitching story of the game was Orioles closer Zach Britton, who went to Weatherford High School.
In the NL Wild Card Game on Wednesday, the Mets started Mansfield High School produce Noah Syndergaard.
On Thursday, the Rangers played one game, and in the other ALDS Game One, Cleveland gave the ball to Trevor Bauer, who was heavily rumored late in spring training to be a Rangers trade target.
