Gotta love a live TV cross

Thought Freese. Just didn’t know if he won LS.
Completely forgot about Seager. I mean it was 2020 after all.

2020 doesn't count , dodgers haven't won a real world series since 1988

Where to next for Aaron Judge?

Where to next for Aaron Judge?

The Ricketts are broke, apparently. So not the Cubs.

Where to next for Aaron Judge?

San Fran was the big rumour a little while ago, i still think he'll stay a Yankee

 

[FRUMPY]

These contracts players sign with get out clauses are a bit ridiculous. Correa 3 year deal with twins and now will opt out of the final two years

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Uh, there's a hot stove thread already started.

Thompson is going to go down in the history books as the latest manager to make a WTF call to the bullpen, only a couple of years after Kevin Cash was excoriated for taking out Blake Snell against the Dodgers. Yeah, Altuve was on third with one out in the inning, and yeah, Alvarez was up to the plate, but Wheeler had been dealing and Alvarez had not been much of a threat to Wheeler in his previous at-bats. So what was the thinking behind going to a bloke who had been shelled in game 5 by the Astros to pitch in a high leverage scenario?

I don't necessarily think that it was the bad move to go away from Wheeler, even though Wheeler had only thrown 70 pitches. Wheeler's fastball velocity was dipping slightly and the Astros had had a good look at him in the first few innings. The bad call was going to Alvarado in that spot.

Got to cute but the Alvarado spot worked in Game 1. Bigger issue was the batters going cold. 70 something strikeouts, a near record. Just made the margin of error on those calls so much smaller than they needed to be.

Still, that's as fun a postseason run as you could possibly have and something worth savouring. Expectations will be on them from next season, so things won't be nearly as much fun.

The Astros....between the Mattress guy throwing out the first pitch, Ted Cruz riding the parade and all the 'cheating' stuff you want to call em out for, this is not a cool team. But that should be their thing, play the villains.
