there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

"With each passing day, each line drive to left, each six-run game, it becomes harder to assign the performance of those teams to their cheating. The Astros’ numbers can’t just be a product of TV monitors and trash cans, not when in the absence of those they’re even better."

Maybe it’s because I’ve been following him since Corpus, but I swear Urquidy is a ~5 year veteran…and then realize he’s 9-5 in his career with 25 starts.

 

of course that doesn’t include 8 postseason appearances and 4 starts in October, which is pretty impressive considering he hasn’t even hit the 2 year anniversary of his MLB debut

Rest of the league: maybe it wasn’t the height of their cheating…

Altuve off today, Straw hitting leadoff

Not surprising and well deserved. A cursory glance tells me he hasn’t had a game day off since May 14.

Who gets the day off today in the Baker Bingo lineup?

Altuve hasn't had a day off since May 14th. Is today the day? If so, would you put Correa in the leadoff spot?

I still think I'd rather Correa hit leadoff
