Had Starlin Castro made the play he needed to, it might have been different.  Judge had no idea where to throw the ball, as no one was signaling to him.  Castro needed to go out, wave his hands and yell "Cut, Cut, Cut" and received the throw.  Didi had no way to make a good throw, as his...

The Yankees showed me a lot of "grit" in winning 3 straight from Cleveland to take that series.  I expect a long series between them and the Astros.  Not sure what to think about the Cubs/Dodgers series.  It should be a very good one though.

I've heard rumors that Gardenhire is in the running for the Red Sox' job.

Fenway is what it is.  They built the ballpark in a congested area and didn't have a lot of room.  They did a pretty good job of building it, IMO.  I don't like the "cookie-cutter" ballparks.  It is an iconic place. Looks like the Indians will be under a bit of pressure Wednesday.  Kluber will...

You need to be able to field a bit to play 1B.  Not sure Devers is quite ready for that big a move.  Let him work with some of the Sox coaches this winter.

Kershaw.

By the way, keep Bauer away from drones.

Interesting first day of the DS.  The Astros were on fire and Verlander pitched really well.  Bauer shut the Yankees down nicely.  Francona's "unusual" decision paid off really well.  The Yankees have to beat Kluber and Carasco at least once each.  The Yankees have won 3 in a row several times...

I like looking back through these threads to see how people did with their predictions.

The Yankees are a very good team this year and the Twins didn't have any playoff experience.  The pressure is much higher the later in October you go.  I expect the Twins young players to learn a lot from this experience.  Berrios could be an "ace" next year and Buxton should turn into the...

The Twins are the first team to lose 100+ games and then make the playoffs the next season.  

Cubs win the NL Central again.  I figured they would straighten things out.

Agreed.  They should try to shed some salary and get a lot younger.  It'll take a while, but they can get back into contention.

Last night, Todd Fraizer was embarrassed a bit being picked off at 2B by Ryan Goins.  Here is a list of the best tricks: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/255706164/hidden-ball-trick-goins-gets-frazier

I thought Jeter's group had won the bidding to buy the Marlins.  That would be quite uncomfortable.

They have announced that Brad Ausmus will not be back as their manager and they have a lot of expensive, older players on their roster.  What should they do this winter?  

Indians won their 21st consecutive game today.  They have only trailed after 5 innings in this streak and have thrown more shutouts than most teams in the whole season.

Home plate ump has a tight strike zone.  Looks like both catchers are chirping a bit, but McCann got run, as did Ausmus.  The next pitch "crossed up" the new catcher and got the ump in the shoulder (93 MPH fastball).  No way it was accidental, but I think this ends the problem.  Ausmus has...

Confirmation of the Twins' record setting night.  The first time in the history of the game that a team has hit homers in each of the first 7 innings of a game.  Final score was 16-0.  Gabriel Moya, who they picked up from the D'backs earlier this season, got his first inning in the bigs.  No...

Sorry, fat fingers.
