Not a real shocker. Brodie wants to bring in his own guy, even though the team did not give up on him, nor did he give up on them. He made some tactical errors during the season, but the team won 9 more games in 2019 than in 2018. Buck Showalter could be a candidate for this job, as this...

He was filthy, as I expected him to be. I'm looking forward to watching him next season as a starter, except against the Twins.

I like the A's tonight. They are at home and have been playing really well. They also have Jesus Luzardo.

The outcome of tonight's game wasn't a huge surprise to most, but it was a lot more difficult than many thought it would be. The Nationals "put the curly W in the books" because they picked each other up. Scherzer didn't have the start he would have wanted, but a lot of the credit has to go to...

MLB Network is saying that Morton will pitch for the Rays.

307 homers this season with 5 guys having over 30 (another record) and 8 with 20+. The Yankees hit 306, so I expect the ball to fly around the ballparks in their opening round playoff series. By the way, the old record was 267, so the Twins obliterated it.

St Louis wins the NL Central and Milwaukee will play in Washington in the wild card game. The Twins, Yankees, Astros and Dodgers all won 100+ games this year.

He hit #53 today, breaking the record.

Today, Justin Verlander struck out his 3000th hitter, but Kole Calhoun reached base on a wild pitch, leading to a 2-run homer to the next hitter. Verlander did not figure in the decision tonight between the Astros and Angels. Pete Alonso hit his major-league record 53rd homer as a rookie...

All the teams are known now, but the order is not. AL -- Tampa and Oakland are playing for the Wild Card, but they aren't sure who hosts yet. The Twins play the Yankees, with NY getting home field. Houston hosts the WC winner. NL-- St Louis and Milwaukee will represent the Central, but not...

We are not sure which teams will finish where, but the picture is betting clearer. Who will win the playoffs?

The Indians may not make the playoffs at all. Their elimination number is 2 -- Cleveland needs to win all 3 this weekend, in Washington, without their DH. Its an uphill climb for them. Next season, they should be fine, as their pitching is going to be back to elite and their offense will be...

https://www.mlb.com/news/2019-mlb-postseason-tiebreaker-scenarios Could be an interesting weekend in those 3 cities.

Not good news for the Yankees in the playoffs. They might need him to go very far.

https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-teams-with-toughest-closing-schedules Several teams will have a tough time making it to the post season. The Rays and Indians seem to have the tougher schedules in the AL and none of the teams in the NL have easy schedules. Only 2 teams per league can get in. Who...

With the Indians' team decimated by injuries, the Twins have maintained their lead in the AL Central. I expected the Twins to win 85 or so games, but I expected the Indians to be among the elite teams with 95+ wins this season. They could still win 95, but I don't expect them to catch the...

That is a tough, very painful injury that takes about 6-8 weeks to heal from. He should be OK going into spring training, but he won't be able to do much weight bearing exercise this winter. Lots of upper body stuff, but not much with his legs.

As it turns out, Pineda was suspended for using a substance that I administer regularly. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that is frequently prescribed for blood pressure control. My wife took it for about 20 years. If he was taking it to control his blood pressure, he could have gotten a...

He is certainly making a name for himself. He has answered a lot of questions this season. He still has some work to do defensively, but he is not going to lose games there. He is a lot better than I expected him to be.

This was probably the best move to be made at this time. He did not bring in the proper players to keep the team competitive.
