Dodgers/Mariners perhaps most ideal. 3 hours ago, Kyyle23 said: Hoping for a Brewers-Seattle World Series because f*** what MLB wants Yankees not out yet. For those of us hoping for a Milwaukee/Seattle World Series, it's also very possible that we'll see a rematch of last year's WS between the two richest franchises.

Good thing I have never bet on baseball. Although I can take partial credit for reverse jinxing Judge into a standout game at least.

I did predict that the Jays would need 4 more runs to win the game right before Judge hit the tying homer...and it was true. Sometimes I wish I do bet on baseball.

"While it wasn’t a good showing for the Blue Jays after the first two-and-a-half innings and they're likely facing a bullpen game Wednesday, there is some good news for them. They are still a single win away from reaching the ALCS for the first time since 2016, and they’ve got two games to get that done. The Yankees, even after their impressive rally, still have a lot of work to do." yahoo sports I think relying on Shitler is a recipe for disaster. He's just a rookie, he could be touched up at a moment's notice. I'd think the same thing about Yesavage whose unique delivery probably flustered the Yankees the first time out without much scouting info on him. Can he do it again? The Blue Jays will have Gausman in either one of these games to come though. On the other hand, one wonders if the Blue Jays can keep up their offensive performance and it's hard to bet against the Yankees consistent offensive firepower. I'd still probably take the Yanks in this series even with the deficit they have to overcome. I'd hate to see another Dodgers/Yankees World Series, but I think the odds are in both teams' favor, particularly the Dodgers. It's harder for a team like the Jays to win a 5 game series if they have to score 10 runs every game. The Yankees pitching leaves some to be desired, but their offense is rock solid and I might think Varsho et al might come back to Earth. Also, quoting this post but moving it to the DS thread so as not to bring the Slam Dunk Champ's uncle's thread off topic. An interesting thread but not necessarily related to the current MLB postseason.

October 8, 2025Oct 8 There's going to be a White Out at Wrigley for today's game. but enough about Andrew Vaughn

October 8, 2025Oct 8 NBC new lead baseball analyst notes? "Jon Sciambi While ESPN made the right decision in 2023 by naming Sciambi its lead radio announcer for the World Series, it erred by not making Sciambi the television voice of “SNB.” Instead, ESPN gave the coveted TV chair to Karl Ravech, whose style is best suited for the studio, where he shined on programs like “SportsCenter” and “Baseball Tonight.” A self-proclaimed student of baseball play-by-play, Sciambi has drawn inspiration from greats like Vin Scully and Jon Miller and it shows. Of ESPN’s roster of full-time baseball broadcasters, Sciambi stands above the rest. A change in scenery would allow the 55-year-old to finally become the face and voice of a network property." sports tv ratings.com
October 8, 2025Oct 8 Not exactly what the Tigers needed to get the home crowd into the game there early...
October 8, 2025Oct 8 Reminiscent of the Gordon Beckham missed pop up on the mound that almost gave Harrelson a heart attack. Wow.

October 8, 2025Oct 8 Cubs avoid early disaster, but still feels like everything going Brewers' way at this point.
October 8, 2025Oct 8 Seattle goes from 3-0 least to trailing 7-3. Baez with an early dagger to add on to the lead.
October 8, 2025Oct 8 Wasn't Busch available to the Sox via trade from the Dodgers? 34 hr 1st baseman is something we probably could've used.
