I “taped” that game due to work. Turned it on when I got home, and thought, “Wow! That was masterful!” Kept the tape for years, and watched it at least a half dozen times. (I wouldn’t be surprised to find out I still have the tape somewhere. Wonder how I would play it?). One for the ages!

I don’t see them signing more pitching at this point.
I'd like to see them take a flyer on Josh Collmenter. He's been out of the majors for a couple years, but has looked pretty good pitching for the Auckland Tuatara in the Australian Baseball League. He'll be 34 going into the 2020 season.
I can't see them paying Villar that kind of dough. Looks to me like Richie Martin is the favorite to open the season at SS. I like Villar, and appreciate his energy and talent, but I can't see them paying that much on a team that's not expected to win.
I've diverted some of my baseball to MiLB playoff games of late. Bowie, of course, and the Amarillo Sod Puppies, who are playing for the Texas League crown in their inaugural season, and Round Rock, who have made it to the PCL finals.
Is it considered stealing for the cycle when it happens over multiple innings? Either way, I think it's great!
