Ohtani is back. Up and over the pavilion roof. 117 even 469 feet Second two homer game in postseason, first Dodger to accomplish that feet. Beats Schwarber's blast onto the rooftop by about 15 feet. Willie Stargell the only other player to clear it in a game.

Looks like only ten total sweeps in the ALCS and NLCS since 1985...

The main question will be why not Hoffman there...?

Perkins just got doubled off from first base...by the LEFT fielder, Ki-ke Hernandez. Geez. Talk about when it rains, it pours. Jose Quintana has to wear it for now.

I keep hearing how prospect ratings don't really matter that much. That pretty much only leaves the record of the big league team as the ultimate arbiter of success. Nobody thinks Francona would have led the Sox anywhere besides last. But a good number would question whether Venable could have gotten the Reds to the postseason in similar fashion.

Looks like Ohtani showed up to play...3-0 already in the first with the Brewers on the brink.

Just turned into a classic for Ms fans. Suarez and Arozarena (hbp) come through after Raleigh had the key clutch dinger to tie it. Going with Little over Hoffman? And now Springer might be hurt?

Here's the series-defining pitching move by Wilson.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have played 124 games in the postseason since 2011. The White Sox 7.

Team that have the resources to go for months into the season without games being played will simply ignore the CBA issue and take advantage of having fewer bidders to fight against. The rich get richer...yet again.

What percentage of Rule 5 guys even stick? Does this means S.Smith will have a HoF track until being derailed by injuries? And the Brewers rode guys like Priester Patrick and Misiorowski all the way to the doorstep of the World Series. They simply had a pitching logjam in AA/AAA because of their quality depth.

What you might expect of Keith Law coming on a Blue Jays/Sox broadcast to provide prospect commentary and insider insights...

Looks like Davidson and UCF collegiate baseball background... https://davidsonwildcats.com/sports/baseball/roster/coaches/jc-sanner/1753 College of Central Florida JC Sanner enters his secod season with the College of Central Florida as the Patriots Pitching Coach. Sanner was the Davidson baseball...

Have to be feeling a bit sorry for Brewers and M's fans... If not this year for a WS, when?

It could be as simple as USC vs. UCLA. Or dislike for Lincoln Riley? Good thing the Pope didn't start waving an L flag after he heard "Go Cubs!" in the crowd. Catholic giving on the Northside and NW suburbs might have decreased by 50% lol.

Mariners can't give up 4-5 again...

And it happened against the Dodgers in both examples...haha.

Guess taking on that Gimenez contract from the Guardians was worth it after all lol...

Current odds to win WS Dodgers 58.4 Mariners 31.7 Blue Jays 8.9 Brewers 1.0

Roberts avoided any controversy bringing in Treinen early...and Sasaki is almost unbeatable when he's feeling confident and getting ahead in the count. Then he can bring that wicked fork/spiltter into play. You could see him flip a switch once Vaughn was retired by Betts. Naylor goes deep for another early Seattle lead...1-0

Andrew Vaughn, speed demon

The Brewers aren't in the game thread, either.

Nice to have the back end depth of Scherzer Bassitt Lauer and Berrios (when healthy)...

3/29 stretch for Ohtani... Haven't seen him struggle like this in ages as a hitter. Yet LA still on the verge of a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Dodger Stadium=40 NLCS Guaranteed Rate=1 ALCS Really generous tonight with outside strike calls on left hand batter's box side.
