2025: Get Off the Damn Tracks d Angry Birds; why is this even a question? Toronto did get its Class 4 #Worldserigami, first loss after win(s), but still…

Congratulations Brewers @brewers.com on NLCS victory and guaranteeing a unique matchup in the #WorldSeries, (Class 1 #Worldserigami) first AL ➡️ NL rep (Class 5) and possibly a win after loss (Class 3)

#MILvLAD #NLCS #MLB The #BaseballGods, like the #TrafficGods, punish premature praise. So I won't express emotion, but instead report that Classes 1 and 5 #Worldserigami are on track after Milwaukee's Game 1 win. Class 1 for either AL team, Class 5 for first AL-to-NL switcher

White Sox out; #Worldserigami Class 2 (White Sox d Dodgers) is gone, as is Class 0 (Dodgers d White Sox)

Brewers v Rays still the best: Classes 1, 3 (either winner!), 5 (Brewers first AL ➡️ NL)

Class 2:
Dodgers d Guardians (also Class 5: first rematch of changed team names)

Rays d Dodgers

#Worldserigami updates coming in hot and heavy:

Padres' elimination removes Classes 1 (v Guardians, Rays, or White Sox), and Class 3.

Only Class 1 matchup left is #Brewers v anybody. Brewers could also get Class 3 with a win and Class 5 for being the second crossover pennant (and first AL to NL)

Yankees out

#Worldserigami update:

Class 2 (revenge win) Padres d Yankees impossible

Class 0 (boring-ass rematch) has been decimated: no Yankees v Braves (Braves lost earlier today anyway), Yankees v Dodgers (most occurring matchup in WS history), or Yankees d Padres

So here's a #Worldserigami update that no one asked for and nobody cares about except me:

Braves' elimination removes two Class 1s (unique matchup): Braves v Rays or White Sox

Also removes two Class 0x (boring rematch): vs Guardians or Yankees

If the Padres lose today, three of the nine Class 1 #Worldserigami are removed (Padres v Guardians, Rays, White Sox)

Remaining would be:
Braves v Rays, White Sox
Brewers v The World

If this score holds up, one each of Class 1 and Class 2 #Worldserigami possibilities are removed:

Class 1 Phillies v White Sox

Class 2 Phillies d Yankees

#Worldserigami class 1:

Braves vs. Rays, Red Sox, White Sox
Brewers vs. the field
Cubs vs. Astros, Rays, Red Sox
Dodgers none
Padres vs. anyone but Yankees
Phillies vs. Guardians

Brewers, Padres, Rays could make Class 3 #Worldserigami, Win after loss(es)

The only other current teams that could have this are the Mariners and the Rockies

As with Class 4, Loss after win(s)

Again, poor Mariners. They’d have to get there, and lose, first

No team in the playoffs will have a Class 4 #Worldserigami, first loss after win(s)

In fact, the only current teams that could even have a Class 4 are the Mariners, the Marlins, and the Nationals

The Mariners are furthest away because they don’t have a win or even an appearance yet

The best #Worldserigami in the last five years was easily Rangers > Diamondbacks in 2023:

Class 1 new matchup
Class 3 first win after loss(es)
Class 4 first loss after win(s)

As much as I’d hate a threepeat, Dodgers > Red Sox would also be a Class 2 #Worldserigami

Since I now I have 180 (gasp!) followers, I’d like to share that no potential WS matchup can have more than two #Worldserigami classes:

0. Rematch
1. New matchup
2. Reverse previous result (e.g. TBR > PHI)
3. First win after loss(es): MIL, SDP, TBR
4. First loss after win(s): None

So far no one has apparently given a damn about this, but I want to do it anyway because whatever, but here are the #worldserigami classes that I have laid out. The first five are objective, the last one is vibes:

A little surprised that it took until the last day of the season to set the field, but now I can lay out the #Worldserigami scenarios:

#Worldserigami Class 1 abounds

Class 2:
CHC > BOS/NYY/CHW

LAD > BOS

TBR > LAD

NYY > CHC

Class 3:
MIL, TBR win

Class 5:
MIL second team winning pennant in both leagues, first AL ➡️ NL

#WorldSerigami Classes:
1 Unique WS matchup
2 Reversal of previous result
3 First franchise win after loss(es)
4 First franchise loss after win(s)
5 Weird shit

1. Braves
2. Brewers
3. Dodgers
4. Rays
5. Red Sox
6. Yankees

List of #Worldserigami potential with 6 of 12 qualified teams:

0: ATL v NYY, LAD v NYY 🥱

1. ATL v BOS/TBR, MIL v any

2. LAD > BOS, TBR > LAD

3. MIL, TBR win

5. MIL second team pennant both leagues
