Rays got a runner on 2B with 1 out in the 8th, down one run. Their whole bench was available, yet they did not pinch hit for Taylor Walls.
Can anyone make this make sense?
Ok, great defensive CF named Pete hits a game winning homer in the championship series. How many of you had Halpin and not Crow-Armstrong?
Dodgers and Brewers giving us 7th inning excitement and we’re an hour and a half in. But still just bottom of the third
The final 4 of the MLB is further proof that this league desperately needs a salary cap. All fans should support this noble quest by the owners to force it on the players. By 2026 salary:
1. LA
19. MIL
28. TB
29. CLE
If you aren’t among the top 29 in payroll, you have no chance
Last time a 20 strikeout 9 inning game happened was opening day when the White Sox faced Misiorowski and the Brewer pen.
They bookended their season striking out 20+ times in a game.
21 K by Cleveland vs CWS.
1. New postseason record for 9 inning game, breaking one set in g3 of same series.
2. 1 more than any regular season game, non-extras. 20 had been done 10 times. 6 combined and 4 by a single pitcher.
Yankees down so the AL will send either an extreme small market team to the WS, or a team from the #3 market that operates like a small market and coming off multiple 100 loss seasons.
Brewers now stand in the way of “only big market teams can compete and we need a salary cap”
Game 2 and no Yamamoto? Dodgers didn’t have enough time to set their rotation? I know Snell is a 2 time Cy winner, not exactly chopped liver, but Yamamoto is their ace.
And as any Blue Jay fan could tell you, clutch in the playoffs.
Grant Taylor with a most impressive 4 inning save. We should have a name for that kind of save, especially when you don’t give up any runs. I call it a “goose”.
PCA had the best season in 2026, but he’s #2 for established value
1. Bobby Witt Jr
2. Pete Crow-Armstrong
3. Juan Soto
4. Elly De La Cruz
5. Corbin Carroll
6. Junior Caminero
7. Aaron Judge
8. Fernando Tatis Jr
Bellinger. Two outs ago it was a ballgame. Yankees have turned it into a party. They got the MaySox, not the JulySox
Phillies up 7-1. Wheeler was up to the challenge and the bats woke up. 12 outs away from postseason, unless bullpen implodes.
Logan Gilbert has apparently decided to give the Angels #100 with a perfect game. Through 4 innings, 8 strikeouts.
George Springer singles and taken out for PR. If this is it, he’s had a great career and I’ll never forget that 2025 was the Summer of George!
Phillies off to a great start. Up 2-0, Schwarber gets a fastball dead center and drives in 2 with a double. Rays don’t need this game so wondering how long Martinez will pitch, or Caminero and Aranda will play. Yandy not in lineup.
