Veteran managers always seem to go away from young players in the postseason. Might very well be the end for Boone in NY.

Looks like Smith had a very solid outing...

That might end up being the turning point in this game for the Dodgers...looked like a 5-1 lead was soon coming. Now just a bloop and a blast away.

"The coaching staff—guys like Charlie Montoyo, Gary Gaetti, Xavier Hernandez, Joe Coleman, and Bill Evers..." Luis Robert apparently did not feel the same way...

Schlittler has been about as good as could be expected in this situation for NY... and suddenly they're in danger of losing the lead again... Not sure how Chisholm doesn't make more of an effort to keep that ball on the infield

Everyone with access to CHSN know about. Can see Schiffren even bringing it into random off season conversations.

When he left Getz's oversight lol...this story has been well covered, fwiw.

He has been their best overall player in the second half...speed defense base running hitting for more power.

Brewers' brand is most efficient run producing team in baseball. Just not there.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bauerja01.shtml Bauers does have a decent amount of OF time fwiw

Too many missed opportunities with RISP. Captain obvious, I know.

how does the ump miss that one?

Yankees fortunate to only be down 1-0 early in another eliminatiion game.

"In postseason history, teams taking a 2-0 lead in any best-of-five series have gone on to win that series 80 of 90 times (88.9%). In Division Series with the current 2-2-1 format, teams to win both Games 1 and 2 at home have advanced 31 of 34 times (91.2%), including 20 sweeps. The most recent comeback in both situations came in the 2017 American League Division Series, when the Yankees rallied past Cleveland." Cubs still going against a lot of history here...

Didn't Peralta start on Sunday? Or it's just showing up on my phone that way because Sun China/US Saturday?

Do you throw Peralta on three day's rest/95 pitchers on Sunday...or hold him back for a potential G5 at home with rest??? Interesting decision.

Gotta trust Murphy there at this point with his decisions...as well as bringing Quintana in instead of holding him back to start G4.

"If everyone was fully healthy, we'd probably see the second of those. It sure feels like Chourio staying in left against the righty starter is a way to hide his balky hamstring in a corner spot, although the corner outfielders at Wrigley Field often have plenty of running to do in their own right. That does raise the question, though, of why we're not seeing Yelich play left, with Chourio slotted in as the DH instead. It feels like confirmation that Yelich, who missed a few days during September when his back flared up yet again, simply isn't available to play the field at the moment. He hasn't started there since August 27. With Yelich locked into the DH spot, if we also assume Chourio had to be in left, then the outfield question comes down to a few things. Starting Lockridge indicates that Murphy prefers him to Perkins, even though Perkins is at least as good a defender and would have the platoon edge. It also says that the team isn't currently treating Frelick as an option in center." https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-nlds-game-3-lineup-raises-some-questions-hints-at-answers-to-others-r3867/

Collins Perkins Monasterio...the problem is Ortiz is so important defensively. Lockridge will agree with...

Both of the runners moved up at least...nope, can't come through there. But the Brewers seem to be back in this one now.

Imagine if Frelick didn't make that play in the corner... Still a game for now.

Now Skubal is going to go on a full four day's rest on Friday against the Mariners...have to feel for that franchise's long-suffering fans.

Get Priester out of there.

Huge catch by Frelick...saved 2-3 runs potentially.

"The Dodgers had 4 consensus top 100: Dalton Rushing, Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, and Alex Freeland. Jackson Ferris was named on 4 lists, with only Keith Law (Athletic) failing to list him." It's not like Busch was going to supplant F.Freeman in LA...
