Shohei Ohtani is 3-for-20 (.150) this postseason with 7 strikeouts and an OPS of .411. Since Aug. 19, he's 14-for-90 (.156) with 0 home runs, 1 RBI and an OPS of .483. Now, the Dodgers are considering benching him in favor of Josue De Paula in NLCS Game 3: www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/...

This is why you have to acquire the Patrick Baileys of the world when they’re available. Especially when it only costs you a tugboat.

Flipped to the Rays-Guardians ALCS to see an MLB-sponsored ad in which fans complain about small-market teams needing more of a chance.

Sorry, Sutton is No. 3. Kershaw is No. 1. So you're missing No. 2. Go peek when you're ready:

By retiring two batters, Yoshinobu Yamamoto just moved into sole possession of fourth place in Dodgers history in postseason innings pitched (63.2), passing Fernando Valenzuela (63.0) and Kenley Jansen (63.1).

A nonzero reason I remember the 2018 NLCS like it was yesterday is the ball-tip pens they handed out in the press box during the series. Durable. Reliable. Smooth writing. Many emerged from that press box with a pen that served them for years.

And by Harrison I mean Henderson.

LA opted for a contact-oriented approach vs. Misiorowski. They whiffed on only 10% of swings against him, but got no extra-base hits in the game and grounded into 3 DPs. Fascinated to see how this approach changes against Harrison. Getting into the bullpen early doesn't matter if they can't score.

Find someone who loves you as much as Josue De Paula loves a free trip to first base.

I think I know why they haven’t scored yet

The Brewers, Rays and Guardians are giving us a banner postseason for competitive balance, just as MLB tries to convince us that none exists. Matt Arnold can downplay that all he wants; his players should use it as fuel until the tank is empty.

While MLB tries to impose a salary cap, arguing teams like the Brewers need financial help to compete, Matt Arnold took a dismissive stance.

“Nice piece of hitting,” but not sure if I mean that ironically or unironically

I wrote a postmortem of the 2026 San Diego Padres, focusing on the disparity in trust between their rotation and bullpen, how to fix it, and who they might bring back (Michael King? Walker Buehler? Lucas Giolito?)

The Padres' starting rotation needs to start next season stronger at the top and deeper at the bottom than the unit that lost to the Brewers in the NLDS.

Yes. It wasn’t as explicit as it could have been in MLB’s social posts, but it was explicit in MLBPA’s statement (after reading the more detailed proposal, I assume). Besides that, there’s no way owners agree to losing four home games a year without a salary cap.

Garrett Mitchell is the only MLB player in the wild card era (since 1995) to rob a potential game-tying or go-ahead HR in the 8th inning or later of a postseason game. 🐦 x.com/OptaSTATS/status/210808821183…
