He’s there until they end unless they pinch hit Hendricks for him or something. No more position players left.

The Cubs went from having the best record in the NL and owning first place for months to being knocked out of the postseason in 48 hours.    :flush:

Tonight's Old Friend Alert:

Oakland A's:
Liam Hendriks (19 1/3 IP for the AL Champion 2014 Royals) is opening for the A's tonight.
Ryan Buchter (27 IP for the 80-82 2017 Royals, crown jewel of the Matt Strahm trade) is in the bullpen.  Yankees don't have many LHB so I'm guessing he'll face Didi Gregorius at some point tonight.  Probably only face a batter or two.

New York Yankees:
Nobody, eff 'em
:adios:

Yup. One of the best seasons in the history of baseball for a closer.

While I watched the Red Sox score a million runs in the 4th tonight, I noticed that the Red Sox have some old friends coaching the bases for them.

At first base, is Tom Goodwin, undoubtedly a Sys favorite, who stole 150 bases in 375 career games with the Royals between 1994-1997.

At third base is a home grown product, who signed with the Royals out of the DR and played his entire career with the Royals. Famously one half (uno) of “Dos Carlos”: Carlos Febles!

We're for NL no matter what in the World Series.

Brewers is first choice, then Dodgers, then 'stros. Hoping not the Red Sox. I even rooted for the Yankees over Boston. Sorry MIR

That game was on way too late, but it sure seems like Yordano was on to something when it comes to Machado

I've been watching a lot of baseball this postseason after not much during the regular season. The complete focus on power arms and power bats makes the game so much less interesting for a fan watching who doesn't have rooting interest. Swing and miss, swing and miss, swing and miss, replay for 5 minutes on a call that wasn't game changing, swing and miss etc.

I'm becoming curmudgeony (more so than usual) about the style and pace of play. Even though I'm against pitch clocks, the games are hard to watch man.

1. Eliminate mound visits altogether
2. Eliminate mound visits on pitching changes, treat it like a pinch hitter. Manager can stay in the dugout, give the pitcher maybe 5 quick warm up tosses and play ball.
3. Eliminate replay. Its baseball, calls will be bad sometimes, I can live with that. Maybe on homeruns allow them, but thats it.
4. Robot umps for balls/strikes.
5. Headsets for pitchers/catchers.

#4 seems like a total no brainer and I am genuinely surprised it hasn’t been implemented.

The umps themselves I believe are the biggest hurdle. They have a union too, etc.

Is harder to do than you think.  The strike zone isnt the same for every batter.

This isn’t one of your stronger arguments, Chings.

The Astros are so cheaty that I was almost rooting for Boston. Almost but not quite.
