The current Martin scares me. I hope we don’t get to see him.

Old friend Bennett on our side.

I'm glad he challenged it. You get two in the post season and you can always ask the crew chief for one late in the game. Challenging Altuve was classic gamesmanship. He ALWAYS cheats on the grass to get a better angle as he's slowed down over the years. The final view showed his heel was on the grass as the pitcher started his motion. NY just botched the call. That said, now the cheater of all cheaters knows he's being watched and maybe doesn't get a good angle on a ball tomorrow that impacts the game.

He has a point though

Maybe the Cubs and Red Sox were both dragging from the extra travel to play that game at the Trop?

The vibes are not good in Houston: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7644992/2026/09/30/astros-loss-game-1-fans-frustration/?unlocked_article_code=1.FFE.RAml.BJpIH3UZK1Oc&source=emp_shared_article&smid=re-share-ta

Colleges Northeastern University (Boston,MA) Drafted/Signed 2022-7-220-New York Yankees Signing Bonus $ 205,000 Service Time 0.082 (2025) Northeast scouting!!! Burke Vasil there was one more Sox pitcher from that region maybe Newcomb? yes Brockton MA "And within a 24-hour span, Sean Burke, Mike Vasil, Jared Shuster and Shane Smith each pitched off Fenway’s mound as major leaguers for the first time."

I think the game 3 plan is exactly what we saw today. Hagen/Newcomb/Taylor, every other day.

Man, I would kill to be able to find a starter like that.

“Kind of crossfire, tough angle,” Espada said. “His pitches do have some kind of difficult shape that keeps you off-balance and he did a nice job of doing that.”

It can? We'll see

I think Burke is going to pitch well. 6 IP, 1 ER

Starting pitching and entire staffs are two quite different things... https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/49989936/mlb-2026-playoffs-postseason-rotation-tiers-pitching-dodgers-brewers-yankees-phillies-red-sox last here and at The Athletic out of 12 and 15 teams ranked CBS had them just behind Cubs and ahead of Houston normally when you talk about pitching, it's the rotation that the majority of people think of first

IDK man. I really dont care what you did, if you're hitting postseason HRs, all is forgiven in my book. AND the kicker is that hitting postseason HRs can magically cure what ails Colson for next year. Win win.

So our Sox will be the only road team to win today.

They got 2 umps down the line and nobody wanted to make that call lol

Wow. That was absolutely electric from Tatis

What a nightmare start for the cubs 😆

Bull Durham? Should have been...

Thank you for staying on topic and following through on a single, discrete, coherent point. You’re doing god’s work and are appreciated.

Pivetta then probably Buehler would be next don't dare start Mize or Vasquez maybe Robbie Ray, but that's doubtful too walks were way up again

Thanks.

Yup the atmosphere is awesome. Easy to hang out before and after the games with all the bars around there. The stadium is really well integrated into the whole gas lamp district. You can take a glance into the stadium just walking around the neighborhood. It's a little like Wrigley, but actually well designed and modern. Also don't have to deal with annoying Cubs fans.

I've heard it's a great atmosphere in and around the park and their fans are pretty cool to visiting team fans....unless it's the Dodgers. Considering a road trip one of these seasons.
