MLB 2026

MuchoReverbo said:
The Brewers played better than the Dodgers did all year. That's why they had the best record in the National League.

As a matter of fact, the two teams with the two best records in each of their respective leagues are facing off in this year's World Series.

When it's all said and done, the Rays & the Brewers are the two best teams in baseball for 2026.

The two top teams in each league meeting in the World Series is not common. At a glance over the last 20 years it's less than 20% of the time that happens.

The playoffs are about momentum. Having a good record through the season gets you a bye potentially in the post season, but it certainly is not a guarantee of success.
 
Yes that is true just like having the highest payroll in all of baseball like the Dodgers usually do doesn't guarantee you anything, but having either one or both sure doesn't hurt.
 
Well the Rays managed to survive to live another day.

Tonight Jacob Misiorowski will be the starter for the Brewers in Game #5.
 
With no runner on 2nd in extra innings, I was a little worried we'd get game 5 last night and I'd miss my bedtime. That game didn't do the Rays pitchers any favors for tonight. Maybe a bit of a Pyrrhic victory but we'll see tonight.
 
Amazing rally in 12th.

Rays pitching staff is all tired.

Be interesting to see who starts, how long they last, who comes in when and for how long.

Rays need some HR hits.

They have the hitters, but they've been quiet.

Is Caminero OK?

For all the fielding errors, that's what kept TB in the game.


I get up at 4:30, so that was a long night for me.

It's like my team the Cardinals who were at the lower end of the team payrolls this season. We dominated the Dodgers, Yankees, Braves and held our own against a lot of the other top payroll teams but there were three teams that just flat-out owned the Cards this season and they were the Brewers, Mariners, and the Diamondbacks. There were a few others too like the Red Sox who got the best of the Cards but other than that, the Cards lost the most of their games to lower-tier teams.

If this is correct:

A full list of every game and series played between the Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals in MLB history.

the Cardinals hardly dominated the Yankees this season. They won two out of three this year and zero for three last season. Granted putting up 13 runs (August 3) is big but when you give up 7, you need to do something big to win.
 
I haven't watched baseball in a while.

Sure is different with challenged ball/strike calls and the CGI zone.

Seems like 70% of the challenges overturn the Ump.

When did that start?

I've seen the overlayed zone before, but not the challenges.

I thought it was tested in the minors last season and introduced to the majors this season.

I like it and think it has done a great job in reducing the endless bitching about the strike zone. Now managers have to find a new reason to get ejected.

I'm not sure what the percentage of challenges are overturned but I think is is closer to 50%. To me the main issue is not how often an ump was overturned but the average amount that ump is off by. Many of the calls challenged are off by fractions of an inch while others are off by twice the diameter of the ball.

Bullpen versus Misiorowski. Not the best of situations.

A couple of things about this World Series.

1.) I strongly dislike the 1 million HPE “Self-Driving” network ads. I don’t even know what they are advertising.

2.) Sydney Sweeney’s Novig “Just Sport” online prediction ads. Do people really bet on the color of her underwear? I mean, are there people who even care? :idea:
 
Total domination in the post-season by the Brewers.

Postseason Breakdown by Series
  • NLDS vs. San Diego Padres: Won 3–1
  • NLCS vs. Los Angeles Dodgers: Won 4–0
  • World Series vs. Tampa Bay Rays: Won 4-1

Agree.

Rays couldn't get a HR to save their lives.

...and gave up hits too easily.

However, I think Rasmussen could have gone at least one more inning.

Diaz leg issue- no bueno.

Pratt reclaimed his WS Hero status. Good for him.

Hats off to the Brewers. They earned it.

HPE is network equipment, switches and such.
I had a hand in standardizing on that stuff in my previous job, before they split off from the printer company that's just "regular" HP.
It was real good stuff 90% as good as Cisco but 40-60% of the price.

Absolutely think people bet on her underwear and suspect those whities could be "photshoped" to any color and surprised they didn't change every time the ad was run.

We have an Advent Heath spot i FL that changes between Bucs and Lightning depending on who's playing.
Exact same ad but blue shirts on Lightning nights and red shirts on Bucs afternoons.

William Contreras is the MVP of the World Series and deservedly so. He was awesome at the plate and behind the plate.

Their most valuable player throughout the entire playoffs.
 
My wife and I are Yankees fans so we were happy to see the Rays go down.

We didn't watch and of the ALCS or NLCS games but we did watch all five games of the World Series. They were all pretty entertaining and -with the exception of game 3- close games.
