Jeter, A-Rod and Ortiz on the pregame show with the anchorman is kind of Yankees-Red Sox monopoly.

Hard to watch. Though I will say Jeter is 10x more insightful and well-spoken that ARod and Ortiz. Seems Ortiz is just there as a sort of court jester.

Totally agree.   Ortiz is a clown who can't stop fauning all over the Rangers and Rodriguez gives us nothing.  Jeter very fair and insightful.

Unless I'm missing something, Ortiz hasn't said anything but the obvious. We'd be more dangerous with Bautista at the back end.

You know it's bad when Ortiz is doing the weather outlook for the MD area.  He couldn't point out Delaware on the map either.

Ortiz just said the O's and Twins are the same team..... Except Minnesota is better because they didn't lose their closer.  Lol

He said there are similarities. I think he was inferring that they are alike by not being perennial post season teams with something to prove, and he isn't wrong. I'm not a big Ortiz guy, but if you are going to drag him, do it in context, we're all watching the same feed, so you can't just be like Ortiz is hammering the O's when he isn't.

This is their third trip in the last five seasons, that ain't bad.  Way better than Boston over that time period.

First time winning a game in 20 years, though. They aren't a team with a lot of real playoff experience and they have a bunch of guys that nobody knows, there are similarities, records, and their superior pitching aside.

    • Irvin nearly 6 innings, 2 earned runs 0 walks, 6 strikeouts. Bradish one cheap infield hit, 6 innings O runs  0 walks 9 strikeout Grayson Rodrigues perfect thru 5, 2 hits, 2 runs 6 strikeouts  Corbin Burnes 7 innings 5 hits O earned runs 1 walk 6 K's in this pitch count era, all of the starters pitched pretty efficiently never seemed to be in serious trouble the whole series. There were some tense moments, but all the pitching held up and just about everyone pitched well. The best pitching performance in a long series this season. I realise the Rays are not exactly murderers row.....but that was impressive pitching.  
    • We are getting a lot of time to savor Jacob deGrom ending last year with precisely half the career innings pitched total of Clayton Kershaw. I dare the baseball gods to keep it in sync not by 0-0.     It isn't out of the range of outcomes deGrom could throw 4 and Kershaw 8 or something like that.
    • This is one of the craziest ones in memory. Buehrle giving up 8 runs and 0 ER in 0.2 IP. Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays Box Score: October 4, 2015 | Baseball-Reference.com
    • I think it's why the metrics use RA and not ERA in the WAR calculations, so there is still a WAR penalty.
    • The baserunner no doubt should be unearned.  But the batter that scores off a HR?  That's the pitcher's fault.  He could have hit a HR the following inning with the bases empty.  In both cases it's a good swing and/or a bad pitch.  Doing it immediately after a 2-out error shouldn't negate that.   You could maybe argue an edge case where getting out of the inning prior to him being pulled would have meant that he was never in a position to make a bad pitch, but in general I think that a pitcher shouldn't necessarily be absolved of *everything* that transpires after an error.
    • I found this post interesting and a bit more realistic than the conspiracy theories floating around.
    • I don't think it's BS. Westburg called off Mounty on a ball that's caught 99.999% of the time and he flubbed it. Inning should have been over, it's a shame they can't charge the runs to the offending player.
