Terrible bunt, terrible swing, lead-off hit completely erased as if it never happened

It's important to give up as many easy outs and biffed runs as possible

Don Mattingly casually insisted that Sosa was fine. So. That's cool

Deeply embarrassing to let Tyler Mahle for seven innings like this against you

Patrick is a stone cold freak for dropping writing this good into the intro of what is a useful, but fairly formulaic Game 2 preview format: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...
There’s an element to sports that sportswriters never weary of trying to capture, hacking through the kudzu of metrics and quotations to get at. It’s the paradox of a sense of overwhelming immortality, mixed with a sense of how fleeting that omnipotence is. Athletes hypnotize themselves into attaining it, fans slurp at it like a shallow oasis in the desert, writers build entire novels constructing a world to provide it. The Boston Red Sox lost a pair of games to the Washington Nationals by 15 runs around the end of June, and then seized that invincibility and held it for more than five full weeks, enjoying a run almost unparalleled in the history of baseball. It was like snorting cocaine while on a runner’s high after finding out you’d aced a college final and fallen in love, all at the same time.

Unfortunately, that time happened to be July, and by the end of September it was a happy memory. Baseball took that perfect month and chewed away at it with its sharp little teeth, as it always does, pulling at hamstrings and snapping bones. And on Tuesday, the capricious and hateful gods of baseball took it and provided it to one Ben Rice, handed him the thunderbolts to strike the heroes down. For one day it was the Yankees who were invincible, led by the league’s best pitcher and a hitter whose resting face might best be described as vague concern, even as their captain stood with his elbows on the dugout railing. The New York Yankees are now, today and only today, the greatest team in baseball. But maybe not tomorrow. The gods need fresh meat.

The Phillies have blown it the last few postseasons but the last couple in particular have been loaded with moments that are matters of inches that also happen to not go their way. The first one played a run for the Braves today, but the second one is why the Phillies lost

I can't believe people are talking about this. Harris had crossed first base before the throw even got halfway to Harper. It was an infield hit all the way. Like, don't sweat the small stuff, guys. Turner's throw affected nothing.

"God bless Scott Franzke" is maybe the best shorthand you could offer on Phillies baseball and I am so grateful to have the guy around as the radio commentator

this stuff is so dumb that the league should always have a "_______ Field at Dumàs Investments Stadium" rule to have an anchored, relevant name while still (of course) allowing teams to cash in

Seeing Simmons make it a point to find Jalen after the game and then Jalen rubbing it in and Simmons's face go blank like "for real you had to say that?" is very funny

NY Times: let's hear from the baseball mind who: • Traded Paul O'Neill for Roberto Kelly • Traded Paul Konerko for Jeff Shaw • Refused to trade Pokey Reese for Ken Griffey Jr. • Went against his #1 scout to draft Chad Mottola over Derek Jeter • Resigned in a skimming scandal

been a min but got a new update: •YoY, month v month, 1H v 2H stat deltas have their own tabs. Sortable by stat or player (also on teams pages) •pitch trait tracking is available in the Ind. Pitches gamelogs. Good for picking up on changes a pitcher makes from a specific date
