The MLB Playoffs are back, and so is Finish Your Breakfast

Finish Your Breakfast: 9.30.2026 - We’ve waited out 162 regular-season games, but we are now here: It’s Playoff Time, Baby! And we’re back from now until the last pitch of the World Series with your recap of games and news you can use.

This year, Finish Your Baseball will be even more personal. I’m adding comments from my friends in the BBM Discord and inviting special guests throughout the playoffs.

Yesterday was awesome. Every home team won, sans the Astros, who decided on a bullpen game for Game 1 at home (ridiculous).

Austin Riley sent Braves fans home happy after his 3-run blast in the bottom of the 8th off Duran to give Atlanta a 2-run lead. Colton Montgomery hit a towering blast to deep center to help the White Sox get their first playoff win since 2021.

Congrats to Manager Will Venable, winning pitcher Jordan Hicks (in relief), and rookie Braden Montgomery on the win. The Bronx Zoo was rocking last night.

CY Young frontrunner Cam Schlittler pitched a gem: 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 10 Ks. Ben Rice 4 H, 2 HR, 6 RBIs, George Lombard 3-4, 2 Rs.

The Yankees got the shutout win 9-0. And to close out the night the Padres dominated the Cubs 8-0.

Tatis 2 H, 1 HR, Machado 2 H,1 HR, 2 RBIs, Merrill 2 H, 2 RBI - congrats to Kwanza Jones and Jose Feliciano on their first playoff win as majority owners. That’s it for today.

See you tomorrow. Remember, you can join the BBM Discord for free and join our wonderful community.
