I don't know what we can truly conclude from this outcome -- aside, of course, from the fact that it knocked out a lot of picks. The time off, who had how much postseason experience...Smoltz grumbled in the booth that "nothing means anything," but it's more that nobody knows anything, or that there's the regular season and there's The Tournament, and the only thing the first thing does is get you to the second thing. It doesn't tell you how the second thing is going to go.
Whatever the case, it's too bad. I was happy for this Os team and their fans; now maybe it'll all feel like a "waste," but it wasn't. They had a great regular season. It just doesn't cut as much ice in October as it might seem like it should.
And the BAL picks didn't throw off many points, but here's tonight's haul:
Hays 0
Henderson 3
Mullins 0
Rutschman 0
Santander 1
Seager 4
Semien 2
And you know what the italics mean; those picks now leave us. LVP for the series: Mullins, who didn't net a single point. MVP is Henderson. ...ikr? But he had more TB in this DS than Seager.

You'll see one slate in italics as well; that slate has lost all its picks, and is out. So sorry, friend, and I hope we'll see you next year. (Or for more kibitzing in the comments this time.)
For the pool at large, this outcome is a bit disappointing, but let's face it: the real torn Achilles this year is the Dodgers 1) looking likely to get swept tomorrow and 2) not doing dick for us points-wise on their way home.
On we go to an almost-full slate tomorrow evening, though: ATL/PHI at 5:07 ET on TBS, followed by two possible final games, HOU/MIN at 7:07 on FS1 and LAD/ARI at 9:07 on TBS again. In the meantime, check my math, hang in there, and good luck!

Sobs. Good luck to the rest of the pool and fingers crossed teams I detest are not in the WS this year.
As if I needed more reasons to dislike the state of Texas! Still will root for them against Astros (obvi) if it gets to that point…
