yes I am conveniently discounting Stanton (replaced by Maybin) who played 18 games this year

Nothing is worse than that Italian gibberish Sterling does for Stanton home runs. I’ve actually enjoyed Stanton being out of the lineup in that I don’t have to hear it.— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) October 13, 2019

At one extreme, there's letting a team go up 10-0 in the first inning; at the other, "God, no, back-to-back hits!"

The walk was the killer--he had him 0-2.
I thought Paxton looked okay. I'm hoping Boone pays for this as (if? gulp...) the series goes deeper, but they're carrying 13 pitchers, so maybe it's no big deal.

Pretty rough that Happ was the best option. I know Paxton didn’t look so sharp - but a less-sharp-Paxton > 2019 Happ.

The station here came back late from commercial last night--Correa's HR was just leaving the park...Correa's really got some Ronald Acuna in him. Three times he put on a little show, and there were more theatrics on the HR than with Bautista's bat-flip.

it occurs to me that behavior such as tampering with the ball to deliberately modify outcomes as the league begins to invest itself into legalized sports betting is fundamentally the same sort of behavior that, when done by a player, gets them banned from the game for life https://t.co/FeVagdQwDh— Nathan Bernhardt (@jonbernhardt) October 10, 2019

i would think that more off days makes the yankees' bullpenning more feasible. the big three astros are gonna get two starts each no matter what happens

I notice all the raves across the internet for Correa's theatrics today. I'm fine with his post-HR show--I really don't police stuff like that--but, as a Jays fan, I'm a little puzzled when set next to the reaction to Bautista's bat-flip, which was much more polarizing. Is it just the passage of four years? I used to have a whole speech defending Bautista, a list of circumstances that made it a perfect storm of a cathartic moment; Correa engaged in more for less.

4 years is a long time. like bautista isn't even in the league rn, nevermind the We Play Loud commercial, which I admittedly haven't seen on air since acuna didn't run out his double lol

I'll put it down to the calendar then (and I realize Bautista already had a reputation).
538's current odds (they stuck by the Raptors the whole way last spring):
Nationals - 34%Yankees - 32%Astros - 30%Cardinals - 4%
Obviously, you've-got-to-get-there-first is driving this--I'm sure they'll have Houston or NY favored over Washington, if it comes to that--but still noteworthy.
