Milwuakee has to be laughing right now. You can't ask for much more than to see your eventual opponent fatigued like this, top down.

Also, more metrics people in the booths please. Not that I wouldn't want that job, no, not at all. Only (super minor) disappointments so far are using (b)WAR given the defensive focus, and just how inconsistent DRS can be, and not using/referencing Perpetua's xStats, which are Statcast derived. Win probability charts would be cool too, out of the poker broadcasting playbook.

Not interference because fielder didn’t attempt to make play.

I hope the Cubs end up having to forfeit because they run out of players, and then Contreras' knee gets bad enough that he can't play any longer.

Love me some Playoff Baseball. The best part is that the Sox are getting healthy.

The 30 for 30 short on the trade is really good. Apparently Jed Hoyer actually still has a Red Sox contract with A-Rod’s signature on it.
I know what I'm watching when the game ends. Thanks!

You can't continue to have this number of runners left on in a coin flip game and win, right? Have to feel like this a game the Cubs win, but like in the 15th after Colorado notches one. Game 6, 2011 WS redux.

But I'd love to be proven wrong. I enjoy new blood to advance, best for the game of baseball.
