Astros fans, don’t forget Jim Crane: - let go of a perfectly capable GM - spent $100M on washed vets while the team had no GM - later hired a GM but continued to overrule and handcuff his decision-making - enabled Dusty’s behavior Jerry Jones’ed this team into the ground.

"That people react to Tampa Bay and Milwaukee making the Series with such surprise is the strongest proof yet that baseball needs a salary cap even if we have to lose years of baseball." - Rob Manfred's brain right now, probably

"He's already got the influence and weight that a GM has, but without the title." @Chandler_Rome questions why Jeff Bagwell would even want the Astros GM job...

The Brewers are playing small ball, in that they're bashing the hell out of the small ball over the fence to score runs

Jim Crane employment decision tree: Do I like you? If yes, then you keep your job, else fired. Does Jeff Bagwell like you? If yes, then you keep your job, else fired. Is your contract too expensive to buy out? If yes, then you keep your job, else fired.

Some of these 7-8-9 hitters on the remaining playoff teams would be like the 4th best hitter on the Astros

Dodgers/Brewers Guardians/Rays In addition to being extremely cool baseball matchups I cannot wait to watch, these are 4 of the most analytics-friendly teams in the game.

Congrats to the Guardians. Their pitching will make for a much more interesting ALCS matchup.
