In Tampa, the Yankees should bat Stanton third and list him at shortstop, then have Lombard pinch run if he reaches or take his place in the bottom of the first if he doesn't.

Eaton fielded the ball before Rice reached third. Terrible send. Hosmer was further down the base path in 2014 WS G7. Damn.

They should tell Jameis Winston that they'll get him a grocery store crab leg for every pass he completes. The Giants would score 35 in the second half.

Rams can stuff the run all they want because Jameis is physically incapable of making an accurate throw.

I watched Jeff Passan's video. It's long and he talks more slowly than he normally does on broadcasts, so it's a bit ponderous, but it's chock full of information. Before I start on my highlights, some picayune corrections, and some other thoughts, I should disclose that I have, since the 1/x
