A completely washed up Troy Glaus getting pressed into service at third base in a playoff game and immediately turning a game-saving double play in extra innings remains one of those delightful, bizarre postseason moments that get lost to time because we went on to lose the series. Like Freddy...

I do want to see some EVs for Gary Sheffield.

Just to throw some hard numbers on it, in Heyward's rookie year he slugged .520 in April* and .628 in May with ISOs of around .300 in both months. He hit 10 home runs in those two months. I don't think that tells us much about Heyward's "true talent" or what he would have been without injuries...

Ohtani and the umpire scattering like someone threw a grenade on home plate.

I mean, there's no chance that was actually a good bottle of wine, right?

Allard being staked quite firmly to the sacrificial altar.

Looks like it's just Peacock, which is worse. And the Broadcast team will include John Kruk, which is, somehow, also worse.

I don't mind admitting I was pretty wary of that trade when we made it. My concerns over his health issues haven't exactly proven to be completely unreasonable, but yeah, that's about as lopsided a trade as you're likely to see in modern baseball.

Andruw insisting he would have robbed that home run is pretty funny, at least.

Allard has never actually been any good in the majors, but kudos to him for hanging on as long as he has.

DeLauter is a heck of a player.

I'm not entirely sure why this NBC broadcast began with a history of the Braves coming to Atlanta, besides the fact that Bob Costas wanted to go on about baseball history.

Also, someone loop me in on Logan Braunschweig. The plate discipline is tasty.

Essenburg and Lodise went a combined 0-8 with seven Ks tonight for Augusta. Gil was one for two with a walk at Rome. Hartman was 1-4 with a double.

I don't see "form tackling" anywhere in this analysis.
