What a game, Jeebus.

(dying laughing)

Elite closers right

Holy shit.

Human element!

More baseball is always good, on track to have every series tied after tonight

Jazz making it interesting late

Oops all ties

200K column wasn’t easy for rarity.

berselius,

There are rumblings that the Jets leadership are kind of weirdly racist so while the Jets aren’t good and the record didn’t help, you kind of wonder…

Rice Cube,

The Packers old DC had to go anyway, but I think Lafleur/the packers FO was seriously wishcasting that Saleh was going to be fired at the end of last season and would be available to pick up. Famously, Saleh was the best man at his wedding.

The whole Machado throwing a ball at the dugout thing is weird but I can sort of see where Dave Roberts has a legitimate complaint had that ball bounced a bit differently

Fun early battle by Schwarber

Pete Alonso tho

Let’s go Phillies love da phils

The Phillies not scoring a single run is not good for their chances

Rice Cube,

Took care of the scoring at all part, now to score even more 😬

Mets did the thing

Rice Cube,

Blew a 6-run lead?

*checks box score*

Damn

Mookie hit it just far enough to not get robbed again (dying laughing)

O hai Padres

LFG dads

The Padres have batted around

Oh my it’s only the 2nd inning

This postseason is nuts

Good work dads

Padres hold on!

Damn Yankees

Heh, Athletic Roundtable guys also talking about elite reliever fails this postseason

Close game in Detroit

Tigers just keep slowly chipping away at Cleveland. One big swing and they’re in it though.

Tigers!

Also, the Mets maybe?

The Amin/Pierzynski/Wainwright booth doing NY/Philly is pretty close to perfect.

These “quick word” commercials while they have mound visits are good, get that bag

Yankees and AGon

Lindor is going a long way to erase the (undeserved) meh reputation he’s had with Mets fans (dying laughing). Good thing he had a quiet 2016 postseason.

Wow, Mets.

The Mets 🤔

Let’s go dads/royals

Whatever the Padres tried tonight didn’t work

Yankees win, guess we will see tomorrow whether a game 5 will be necessary

Barring a spirited late game comeback it appears we will be getting a Game 5 in LA

Meh

If the new owner actually tries they are in a good division to make some noise

QO time:

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/10/qualifying-offer-value-set-at-21-05mm.html

The qualifying offer in the 2024-25 offseason will be officially set at $21.05MM

Re: QO candidates

There are a handful of slam-dunk QO candidates among this year’s crop of free agents. Juan Soto, Corbin Burnes, Alex Bregman, Willy Adames, Max Fried, Pete Alonso, Anthony Santander and Teoscar Hernandez will all assuredly receive a QO and are all overwhelmingly likely to reject in search of a multi-year deal. Other candidates to receive a QO include Sean Manaea, Luis Severino, Christian Walker, Jurickson Profar, Tyler O’Neill, Michael Wacha, Ha-Seong Kim, and Nick Martinez, though not everyone from that group will ultimately receive one.

(dying laughing) McKinstry

Cleveland scoring all the runs they forgot to score earlier this series

Another Game 5!

Solid work by Cole to this point
