7-0 but the score might as well be 33-0 (ahem cough)

Right. Whatever Dan Campbell brought to that team, it worked. If Campbell can dial it back just a fraction in the playoffs, they will do it.

Kirk Cousins carving up Zimmer’s D. God I love to see it.

Prepare to be shocked again tomorrow morning (if you don’t turn your clocks back) 🙂

Happy Halloween everyone I saw a kid walking around in a New York Jets uniform and it scared the bejeesus out of me! 🤣 The kid’s friend was dressed up as the Yankee’s 5th inning last night!

Happy trails fine young man.

Yup, guys just dragging to the finish, and then fresh arm Walker Buehler comes in throwing fire. Yankees 7-8-9 guys had no chance. Edit: threw mosy knuckle curves 🙂

Just occurred to me that the Yankees have no one to pinch hit. The Twins had pinch hitters this year. (Not meant as snark or to tee up a Margot joke)

Music as the Yankees take the field in the 9th without scoring in the 8th

Love it—try to pick off Judge in the Bronx

Pitchers on both teams just running on fumes.

Damn, wanted to see Ohtani take a few more rips.

I got to admit. I dont get a guy who only throws one pitch—a change up. And that’s all he throws.

I feel like the umpiring has been mediocre but pretty even-handed though? Haven’t watched every pitch.

Umpires starting to take over. Expect a game six

Yes. (hat/tip you know who) the big error (as you probably know by now) was Gerrit Cole not covering first base on a ground ball to Rizzo with two outs and no runs in yet.

Welp. So much for trying to throw shade on Volpe.

Correct & that’s why I don’t like them. Though at this point I understand why they are necessary or opted for

Anthony Volpe goes from second base to third base on a double to deep center, and the ball even managed to bounce around a little. Impressive feat to only gain one base! I think I saw Mitch Garver do that once, too.

In New York? He might have been given season tickets.

aaaand that is why the entire universe hates the Yankees and their fans

Heh, I didnt even hear about the Anthony Richardson thing until getting caught up on this thread. Anthony Richardson can thank Tyrique Stevenson for hot dogging that hail mary, which took up all the social media oxygen, at least that I saw.

At this point I want the series to go to six games, only to prolong the season because I will miss it when it’s gone. It would be sweet to see the Dodgers celebrate in the Bronx too. The Yankees will have Cole starting tomorrow night if they win tonight.

If Muncy is guarding the line, that’s a double play and maybe triple play, and the Dodgers only trail 3-1 after 3 innings. Instead it goes to 8-1. game of inches…

Hi @Jocko87 Continuing the conversation, Carlos Correa did indeed fall in the Twins lap, but I personally would not call it miraculous. https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/68717-what-was-the-point-of-signing-carlos-correa/?do=findComment&comment=1458277&_rid=2874 First, the Astros declined to extend Correa, choosing to show faith in Jeremy Pena instead. So, Correa went to free agency. Correa was passed over in the mad rush to sign players prior to the lockout in December 2021. The next March after the lockout, Correa signed with the Twins on a year to year deal, and bragged about getting outta here at the first opportunity (the “shopping at Dior” quote and all the rest). (More parenthetically, there was that informal players poll this summer that showed Correa as the least popular MLB player after Jazz Chisholm, and I can see a pattern emerging.) If I were to really go off the conspiratorial deep end, I would even suggest that when the Giants finally landed Correa for 13 years and $350 million, that San Fran had buyer’s remorse and someone in the organization said “oh Hell No” and thus the closer scrutiny and dispute around his medical records to get out from under it. Ditto with the Mets. And here we are in the present. How does this Correa story relate to using analytics responsibly? I see Carlos Correa’s dollar per WAR and am not impressed, that’s how. Lewis or Lee would have been better, as unimpressive as they were in 2024. When I factor in the intangibles, the Correa deal starts to look even worse to me. Why pick on Correa or the decision to sign him? Why bring this up? I don’t know. I guess I just want to observe how two different people can look at the same data picture and in good faith see two completely different things. Which I know you know. So maybe this is just a reminder to myself. Different people seeing things differently, a little like the dress illusion from 2015?
