MLB fans react to the notion that inferior teams made it to the 2022 NLCS

Game 1 of the NLCS between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Diego Padres There is an ongoing narrative that inferior teams have made it to the this season. At least, that's what a portion of the MLB fanbase have been claiming after the toppling of the NL giants in this year's postseason. All 100-win teams in the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and the reigning champions the Atlanta Braves have been eliminated. The 90-plus win St. Louis Cardinals have been eliminated as well. Therefore, the National League Championship Series is being contested by fellow wild cards—the fifth-seed San Diego Padres and the sixth-seed Philadelphia Phillies. Neither team reached 90 wins in the season. MLB podcaster Jared Carrabis shared his sentiment on Twitter. It was a talking point among the fans. Some sided with the podcaster, while some begged to digress. Too many people bitching about not having the two best teams in the NLCS. This series has everything you could ask for. It’s got legit megastars on both teams and two of the most electric ballparks as far as playoff atmosphere goes. Don’t care what their records were.

I'm tired of it being the same few teams. I love that we have an entirely unique CS for the first time since 19, and probably a long time before that. I'm tired of it being the same few teams.
