Even the dinky little squibs are grand drama.

Danny Lehmann sitting on the bench, pissed that Pages made that play because it prevents him from officially taking the Braves job.

That has to be one of the most dramatic single innings in baseball history, right?

That is one very timely defensive replacement by Roberts.

Imagine watching this game while rooting for one of these teams.

Oh, please let this be decided on an overturned replay call.

How that fly ball didn't cause 50,000 simultaneous heart attacks in that stadium I'll never know.

The Dodger we all expected to save the day: Miguel Rojas.

This is Dave more or less explicitly saying that he wants a manager who is fun to interview. Which I can understand from a beat writer, but…no, David.

I would suggest that, while I don't know Ronald Acuna personally and can't in any informed way speak to his overall level of intelligence, he's probably not stupid, an idiot or a moron. I would suggest that calling the best player on the team a moron because he likes to play winter ball goes...

Young, analytically inclined, associated with a smart organization, knows Anthopolous. Does any of that mean anything? Hell if I know. The reality is, there is always going to be significant uncertainty when you hire a new manager unless you're hiring Bruce Bochy. That's particularly true when...

This all seems like pretty good news. Or, to phrase it the way Bowman would, there is reason to believe this is pretty good news.

Devil is in the details, of course, but Detroit has to know that $150 million isn't going to cut it for Skubal.

Julio's at-bat to end the series...woof. Up 2-0 in the count, Raleigh on deck, and you swing at three pitches out of the strike zone. Fine player, but that's an unacceptable approach in that situation.
