To take a break from our playoff brackets, here's Trevor May's take on the Marlins pitching coaches calling pitches:

I agree with most if not everything he said here, especially with the best case scenario for it being a last resort where you can ask your coaching staff for guidance if you're in pitch 20 of an at-bat and both you and your catcher have no idea what else to try against the guy who's fouled off your last 18 pitches.
 
Watching the Ohtani at bat to lead off the game and suddenly the MLB TV stream switches to some ESPN 2 shit about the WNBA for a full minute. So instead of watching Ohtani blasting an incredible lead off homer, I have to watch literal dykes complaining about some shit.

Fuck all of the faggot niggers who run this shit. This is the absolute height of incompetence.
 
Really entertaining end for the opener between the Red Sox and Yankees. Garrett Crochet and Max Fried had a pitcher's duel through 6+ innings; Fried was good through 6.1 innings and left with a 1-0 lead, while Crochet was utterly dominant outside of an early solo homer.

Luke Weaver came in to relieve Fried and immediately handed Boston a 2-1 lead without getting an out. David Bednar would allow another run in the top of the 8th.

Crochet didn't hand the ball over until there was one out remaining in the 8th for former Yankee closer Aroldis Chapman (who somewhat quietly was the best reliever in the sport and had a career year at age 37) to have a four-out save. After coming into the game and getting a flyout to end the 8th, Chapman began the bottom of the 9th giving up a trio of singles to a trio of former MVPs: Goldschmidt, Judge, and Bellinger. He then struck out former MVP Giancarlo Stanton before getting Jazz Chisholm to fly out, and then ending it by striking out Trent Grisham.

I'm not surprised by this since Sunday Night Baseball is leaving the so-called Worldwide Leader. In my opinion ESPN has always treated baseball second rate.

Yankees might be the biggest frauds in MLB. Boone and Cashman (mostly the latter) are retards who let analytics ruin the team, Judge is a terrible captain, the rest of players not named Freid are subpar and Michael Kay is a faggot who really borders on propagandist. Two games in when they hit nine home runs with their torpedo bats Kay was leading the circle jerk basically proclaiming it was in the bag like Randy Quaid in Major League 2 (then there was this gem that bit him in the ass hard). The real Yankees are the ones who were getting destroyed mid season but everyone thinks they're the team that steamrolled a toilet paper-soft schedule the last two weeks while the rest of the AL playoff teams were beating each other up.

No one should be surprised if they're out tonight.
 
As a non-American with no roots to any of the teams, I'll root for Seattle in the AL and the Cubs in the NL this October. It's funny how they're polar opposites.

The Mariners have a rock-solid starting rotation with 4 guys I would trust to start a playoff game (Woo, Castillo, Gilbert, Kirby) and an offense that is explosive on paper (Cal, Eugenio Suarez, Bo Naylor, and even fucking Jorge Polanco) but is one bad game away from freezing over.

The Cubs, meanwhile, have a consistent offense with PCA, Seiya, Kyle Tucker, Nico Hoerner and Michael Busch, and a starting rotation that can be called shaky at best, no matter how much I love Shōta Imanaga.

A Cubs-Mariners World Series would probably be the funniest outcome that can actually come true (let's not kid ourselves, Reds and Guardians are not getting there)

@Cpl. Long Dong Silver this is your neck of the woods. I've heard rumors that some people wanna move the Rays to Orlando. Can you corroborate?

The new owner is originally from Tampa and has said consistently they will build in Tampa.

There is a small but vocal group of retards who somehow think everyone would enjoy the living hell that is I4 to drive to Orlando to watch baseball. No one listens to these people and no serious attempt to buy the team has been made by people from Orlando.

I'm pulling for Seattle or San Diego. I want someone who's never won it before.

But I'll be satisfied as long as it's not Toronto (sorry @Local Fed and @Mordecai "3 Finger" Brown, nothing personal).

ETA: Or the Brewers, because Patrick Tomlinson doesn't deserve to be happy.

What the Rays need is attendance. I get more spectators at my beer league softball games than at the Trop (or wherever they're playing since the Trop got fucked by that hurricane).
 
Barring a major comeback by the Guardians, the Tigers will get the last laugh and knock them out of the postseason. I thought the Guardians homefield advantage would be the edge, but I got that one wrong.

Cubs hold on to beat the Padres. Things got interesting in the 9th inning.

Yankees win with a shutout thanks to a brilliant performance by Schlittler.
