  1. If I recall, Bregman missed on a play just like the one Sano did. I would say hard 100+ EV contact is part of the problem. (Don’t remember which game or which series.)
  2. Something lit a fire under this offense.
  3. If he is hitting, and there are positional needs, we might see him. Maybe at third, but more likely what other posters have suggested, shifting others around and Lewis at short.
  4. I’m looking for the list of all the other teams the Yankees have swept in the postseason, but not finding it.
  5. This thread has to do with next year, so that’s why I was confused. Sorry.
  6. Runner on first via walk, with two outs, and falling behind Altuve. But this game could end on four straight walks?
  7. Chapman losing control in the bottom of the inning. When that happens, look out. But with two outs it might be too late for Astros.
  8. I thought this was amazing. It was penned by a university professor named Mitchell Nathanson for a baseball book he is writing. Here is an excerpt: The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day; The score stood four to two with but one inning more to play. And then when Cooney whiffed again, the eighteenth K that night, A sickly silence fell, for somehow baseball wasn’t right. A straggling few got up and left, annoyed they even came; And most who stayed were kind of drunk or wagered on the game. Yet still to come was Casey, whom the fans had long extolled, Though at the age of 31 the metrics deemed him old. But first ahead of him was Flynn, a player much accursed; His BABIP was atrocious, and his WAR was even worse... Even USAFChief makes an appearance a few lines later (you’ll know it when you see it).
  9. I don’t know what happened to Cron’s defense the second half. Maybe his thumb injury lingered. It took Mauer a couple of seasons to really become a great fielder at first base—great post brvama. MarGo played well at first. Cruz comes back as DH for another season but beyond that, who knows. Maybe that’s where Sano is eventually ticketed, but no one else in the org is ready to step in to 3B day to day like Sano, and I’d focus free agency on pitching All which is to say I’d leave Sano at third another season, and then reevaluate.
  10. ALCS goes to game six, tomorrow night
  11. The line score won’t look great, but Verlander is absolutely dealing tonight.
  12. The team’s execution, you say? I’m in favor of that. h/t, football coach John McKay
  13. Yordan Alvarez. As if the Astros needed any more great young players. (Also, acquired in a trade.)
  14. Pressly’s 0-2 pitch to Encarnacion: Worst framing job ever
  15. With Maddon now in LA, with the rumors that Gerrit Cole wants to sign there, and some inevitable housecleaning that will happen following the Skaggs tragedy, the Angels might come out in 2020 and surprise. If they can stay healthy look out.
  16. Glad to see that Levine quote. Probably should not have traded Pressly, but reflecting back on past actions is a good habit to be in.
  17. I’m still not sure why the Twins didn’t trade for a starter at the deadline, as the Astros have done. Even if it meant offering Larnach or Kirilloff. Maybe something will change this offseason?
  18. That is wrong. Wronger than Gritty, even.
  19. Apropos of nothing in particular... There was a 15-20 minute delay in the first game to switch home plate umpires (original ump took a nasty foul tip to the mask, apparently). Of course Twitter had a field day with how long it was taking to get the next ump ready. All in good fun. I hope. Anyone catch any coverage of that? What was happening during the broadcast?
  20. Severino came out for the 5th. You didn’t send him the memo?
  21. Disagree.* Instead of pinning all that responsibility on just those three guys, the Twins should go out this offseason and get a top slugger, versatile defender, and veteran pitcher with postseason experience. *ISWYDT ... Am I doing this right? .
