Stumbled across the entire game, NBC national telecast with Dick Enberg.     Just the first couple minutes of the intro segment recapping the first three games was a blast, set to what later became The Midnight Express' intro music.    Was new to me Bumbry dropped what woulda been the 27th out of game 3 to give Merv Rettenmund's Angels one more day.

I love these entire playoff games on YouTube.  Just yesterday I stumbled on the 1986 Red Sox/Angels series.  I started watching and couldn't stop.  Just a great series as was the '86 Astros/Mets.   The funniest thing was the series' announcers were Al Michaels and Jim Palmer.  We all know what those guys sound like today.  Going back in time I hardly recognized them.    I also started the intro to the 1981 division series (yes, division series due to the '81 strike) between the Royals and A's.  Palmer also was the color guy for that one.  You can tell he was rather new to the broadcasting thing.   Today, he is as professional as it gets.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      Baseball Reference adjusts for quality of offenses faced, park factor, and team defense. Orioles team dWAR is 1.0; White Sox is -4.7. First guess is Fedde is getting a lot of credit for achieving the same run prevention in front of inferior fielders. Burnes has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Torx2, Bosx2, Oak, Chw, NYY, LA. Fedde has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Tor, Bal, Min, CLEx2, Ari, STL, and Det. Doesn't seem like a huge difference there. So it's probably the fielding adjustment. Is the White Sox stadium especially hitter-friendly?

      Rizzo just got hurt. Bad throw by 1B caused a collision at 1B. Rizzo while safe bumped into P and fell on ground.    He was grabbing his wrist/hand. Left game.    Red Sox are also in process of blowing the lead.

      I’ll agree and disagree. It’s not so important with this number of games left to juggle pitchers around since you are still playing the long game.     Bye teams going 3-5 in the DS have shown it’s not an impossible hill to climb. That said I think both teams still value winning the division.

      I totally agree. Some are still stuck in the mindset that we're a bad team.

      That's good.  Will give him something to do while he heals.

      Huh? He's on pace to start under 100 games at Catcher.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Keith Law has him going late 1st round and doesn’t sound like a fan.   26. New York Yankees: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore has probably performed his way into the first round, even though the underlying tools and instincts don’t support it. He’s hit 23 homers and has a .380/.446/.774 line (through Monday) as part of the Vols’ loaded lineup, where five hitters already have 15 or more homers. I could also see them on Ryan Waldschmidt or Jordan. Baseball America’s most recent mock had him going 19.  Some reservations about his defense. 19. Mets — Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore’s offensive consistency in his three years with Tennessee is impressive. He’s posted a 1.000 OPS or better in each season, has hit over .300 in each season and has managed double-digit homers in each season—with a career-best 28 homers in 2024. He did that while cutting his strikeout rate from 24-25% to 14.5%. There are real questions with how much he’ll be able to pick it at second base. Still, he has one of the more proven bats in the class and is getting tons of top-20 buzz.
