a lot of avoidable drama to put Sasaki in that situation

doubles down on idiocy

Note to Dave Roberts: don't trust Treinen

Hernandezes strike again...

Puig #4? No Colson fans? Witt, Jr.? Acuna Jr.? Surprised that Ohtani doesn't trump all despite the relative lack of Asian kids in the Midwest. Schwarber went to IU and was with the Cubs...but too identified with Harper and the Phils now. Guess Bryce Harper's not the cool/hip young guy anymore.

All three experts at MLB Network predicting Phillies...just think they want a watchable series instead of a blow out here. Suarez T.Walker Nola Buehler all options for G3 against Yamamoto, but LAD will have big edge at home.

Castellanos Sosa Marsh Kemp an interesting bottom of the lineup. Snell doesn't do well on the road historically. Huge start for Jesus Luzardo here...with Ki-ke and Rortveldt in the Dodgers' lineup. Trying to nurse W.Smith back in there.

See if Fegan can go there...but likely not.

Naylor not helping the M's much this series ...

Having the confidence of a Cy Young winner to believe nobody can beat you twice in one game...

Finally broke through, Polanco...Castillo looking like Predator from behind lol. And already to the bullpen.

Wouldn't have thought possible in a postseason game Max Fried started... Weird. Well Detroit vs. Toronto won't exactly light up the ratings.

Especially when your owner doesn't believe in paying for FA pitching...you've got to be able to able to produce like CLE MIL SEA TBR.

Could see Texas as favorite by 1-2 points with Hawkins, Jr. starting. Last year did not go particularly well. Different teams obviously...UP got a ton of confidence from playing MI so well defensiively.

O'Hearn is coming off an All Star selection. He will get between $9-13 million probably... Definitely one grouping ahead of the Slaters Tauchmans and Josh Rojases of the FA world.

You definitely can't lose the first two at home with the Mariners' playoff history...

Still fooled with action...game on. Not sure going to second was worth it down 2. Pretty close due to Pages.

Got out of it. Realmuto Kepler Castellanos Stott Choice of either Sasaki or Treinen.

White Sox will eventually end up with Castellanos somehow...

Glasnow with his in between games throwing routine...feels like Freeman makes that scoop 9/10 times.

Ki-ke predictably unreal in postseason no matter what he does in the regular season.

You really see them winning out?

Ohtani touched up for three after being on a late season scoreless run. Have a feeling this series goes the distance. Not sure what the heck Teoscar was doing defensively in the second...seems like he just gave up on the ball and let it get past him to the wall. No way you can let Realmuto get to third there.

Spending $50-60 million in FA alone for next year...??? They'll be fortunate to be at that overall payroll number for a full roster after Robert and/or Benintendi are traded. Granted, the Royals were rich enough to spend significantly more after a 56-106 record two off seasons ago. But they also already had Witt Jr.,Perez, Pasquantino, Singer and Ragans as a core.

PSU/Texas/Iowa State losses really open things up.. Can't imagine anyone else but Indiana after OSU/Oregon from the B10.
