Here I sit in Seattle on a cruise ship named Bliss. Waiting to sail for Alaska. I see Bunny excited as all get up. I see Fubar ragging as usual (there’s no way you had clients as much as you hate people) I digress. I saw T-Mobile today and could care less about baseball for the next week. Y’all have fun.
The view of t-mobile and Century Link at night from a ferry is one of the coolest sights!

How about Seager and his 5 walks! I think the stat line I heard was 1760 postseason games total in history and he was the first to accomplish this feat.
Correa continues to be absolutely lights out….did anyone see that final play (I think it was the final play but def Peña’s last AB) that he made to throw out his fellow SS? Incredible - his defense has been infallible of late! I’d really love to see the Twins make it all the way (I don’t think they will) especially to show off those incredible arms they have in the bullpen on a national stage
Remember the offseason? Yah Correa may get the last laugh here. Still have too win 2 more against Houston

The Twins needed that split. Lopez looked incredible.
Very much so. Since the Astros suck at home and are great on the road.

Guess the Dodgers didn’t learn how to keep from getting colder than Antartica during their week off.

I don’t know how Freeman can even walk, let alone run after that foul ball!

I don't buy into that layoff [censored],it's just an excuse.780 on 26 man rosters,only 60 make the ASG, the other 720 have 4 days off and they don't seem to have a problem coming back,a 5th day off isn't that much of a difference, especially since they run simulated games during the workouts.

I agree. Didn't one of the teams let fans in for free to watch their simulated games? I thought that was cool when I heard it.

Diamondbacks have a 2-0 series lead on the Dodgers.

Me lol, this is my darkhorse team. Will see if they can close this series out but weird fact, in years when the Diamondbacks aces hit birds they have yet to lose a playoff series.

Zack Gallen hit a bird this year, that would make 2.

This is from 2019. From 2012 through 2018 the team with more rest was 1-6 in the World Series. The only winner was Boston. Maybe you didn’t play baseball?

I dont think anyone is gonna buy a subscription to read that. But appears to be just WS teams. That is just chance. Rest is good. Especially for pitchers arms.

I didn’t pay for it either. It was either free when I read it in 2019 or free for me on my iPhone. Funny you mention that because it points out pitching stats being worse and shows how much worse they are with extended breaks.
As for if being the World Series. That isn’t the only series discussed in there. That’s the one with the largest break. The new format doesn’t have enough data.

I still say they should add another division to each league (sayyyyy South) and two teams to each league. Rearrange the teams geographically to the divisions and eliminate the wild card. Playoffs begin with best record vs worst record for winners of the divisions in their league, then the league championship, then the World Series. No layoffs, no fuss, no muss. I can’t imagine how rest doesn’t help the players, but if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.
I know I have a spreadsheet around somewhere outlining this…
