I would love to see a 7 game series between the 98 Yankees and the 18 Astros, unless the game has evolved so much that the 18 Reds are better than the 98 Yankees.

Indians had a bullpen era of 4.60 this year, Miller and Allen were terrible, whatever you think of the Sox pen, minus Bauer, the Indians pen is far worse

The thing about Eck is he is there to call a ballgame. No agenda to push some media created narrative. Unfortunately, it's probably why he is on the B Team instead of the A Team for WTBS.

Astros picked up Verlander last August, Cole last winter and now Osuna. Pretty good moves to say the least.
I would quit rooting for the Sox if they grabbed Osuna.

There is a reason very few teams went after him.

He’s a pain in the ass. Well, seems like the kind of player you hate if he’s on a rival, love if he’s on your team.
This is a pretty crazy list of postseason HR victims over the past two postseasons:

"So Bauer is pretty darn good, but the worst pitcher Bregman has homered against in the playoffs (Sale, Sale, Kershaw, Jansen, Kluber, Bauer)"

He is a nice guy then, not choosing to damage poorer pitchers’ stats!
