Thinking about chronicling how I get through the baseball off-season with like 1 tweet a day of how i fill the baseball void. 10/20 - Went for a bike ride. Watched Brothers on Apple TV with Woody Harrelson/Matthew Mcconaughey. Quite funny. 10/21 - Watching Love is Blind

Cleveland #Guardians Prospect Report 10/21-26/26 Guardians AFL prospects hit a bumpy week nextyearincleveland.substack.com/p/cleveland-...

This is extremely local, but the comments all the stories about the Morton Salt mine water breach in NEO clearly proves how many people either failed basic environmental science or the system failed them. I dont know. I was a terrible science student. Of course, FB comments lack common sense..

If the Brewers finish this thing off, a Guardians player does likely get a World Series ring this year. Craig Yoho.

Defintely more than 6.... I think that 60 game TV contact issue is the only thing that brings them back together. So preparing for like a 102 game season next year.

If you’re starting to wonder No team has swept both the LCS and World Series since the LCS became best-of-7 in 1985 Yet

Great story for Brandon Woodruff to get into the game.

Oh look at that Brice Turang went oppo off a LHP for a 2B. @jeffmlbdraft.bsky.social made this observation before the ALCS for the Rays and Brewers and it has played out a ton here.

So I guess if the Brewers close this thing out this week, I guess the whole not paying to get Tarik Skubal was the right call.

Chourio oppo 2B.... It feels intentional....

Base hit up the middle by Hamilton...

By the way, the ONLY ball that was pulled in that 5th inning scoring frenzy was Cooper Pratt's double. Chourio - 1B to CF Bauers - FO7 Turang - 1B to CF Mitchell - 1B to LF Pratt - 2B LF Frelick - 2B LF Milwaukee ranked 1st this year in batted balls up the middle and oppo.

So Taylor Walls isn't making insane plays anymore? And the Brewers may be sweeping this series....

I continue to believe that if the bat crosses over the plate *at all* (that is, enters the strike zone) it should be considered a swing, because, at that point, contact could result in fouling off a strike or hitting the ball fair. I share this a lot, but it's all in here:

First of all, terrible camera angle. Fox doesn't have a good angle. If you've seen the ABS check swing challenges in the minors, this is a swing. I don't think by the way they've "judged" a swing like this in the majors it is right now. But I think the system will say it is.

Ashby getting 5 outs in back to back games. Feels like a lot. But maybe then I have PTSD seeing the Guardians relievers get pushed like that and wearing down.

That was a terrible at bat by Williamson. He had a walk there if he outwaits Ashby. Leaving him in for Diaz might be a mistake

They really need the audio from the replay booth in MLB like the Big Ten does (I can't believe I'm saying the Big Ten has something right.)

Kevin Cash's bullpen decisions in these first two games seem strange. Leaving Kelly in too long here. Matz warming second day in a row. Keeps going to Seymour who has been rough as a reliever.

I either over estimated the Rays pitching staff or underestimated the Brewers relentlessness. Maybe both.

Given that the Brewers and Rays were at the top of the leaderboard in center/oppo hit balls - seems intentional. It works. For them.

So the Cavs tried to blow another lead but apparently Brooklyn is that bad? Forgot it was even on with the whole terrible broadcast situation

Ian Seymour is not having a good postseason. Never realized the headwhack he had.

Oh sure NOW Jonathan Aranda isn't making great plays at first base.

IWe've got a Jaison Chourio mention on the World Series

I had to use the bathroom for like the final hour of You Can See Everything. But I never got up. I was hooked. I have so many questions. So many.

What happened to "if you're innocent you have nothing to worry about?"

Miz is almost 2 Ken Rosenthal's tall. Hilarious. It's like the Judge/Altuve picture.

That was dramatic, but the Brewers continue to be on a runaway course. 4 games in each of the first two rounds...

MLB needs to have live audio from the replay center during the review like the Big Ten does.

Who would have had the Brewers defense coming up with the biggest play of the game to end it.

Gotta credit to the Rays for staying aggressive. 0-2 on steals tonight, double-steal in the 9th.

Probbaly not great if one of your World Series broadcasters doesnt know which pitcher on the mound hes talking about.

With Cole Sulser coming in, every ex-Cleveland org player has gotten into the game tonight except for Richie Palacios. Diaz, Caminero, Bauers, Kelly, Sulser

Huh. Almost like that bunt was a stupid idea.

Brewers just have catcher magic

So Gavin Williams was more dominant against the Rays than Jacob Misorowski.

I guess Victor Mesa Jr. made up for being thrown out at third himself with that throw. But David Hamilton is probably safe if he doesnt stumble at second.

Making the first or third out at third.....

So much for Nick Martinez being hittable. 1st inning jitters I guess. Velo was up. Maybe command was off. He did throw a wild pitch vs. Cleveland in Game 4

Apparently Nick Martinez is hittable after all. Coulda fooled me....

Deluca caught that in the ALCS.

Rays were definitely ready for Miz's velo that inning. Ironically the outs were louder than the hits he allowed. But that's how the Rays are.

Pulling for the Brewers. But I think we see Rays end up winning the series.

Great story for Brandon Woodruff to be on the Brewers World Series roster but massive risk if something happens and they may not be allowed to replace him.
