GM. Just opened a new league in Databaseball.fun B-Tier is a 15-30 PV league. Right now, just 3 teams are in that range, so this is a GREAT opportunity to get a team for cheap and compete in the post season. Points for post season play will be gud. I will send a solid player NFT to each team that gets into B-Tier today from my backups, to fill holes and make this more fun.

if you told me at the beginning of the season that league championships would be down to these 4 teams, aside from the dodgers, i'd have laughed at you but this is what makes postseason /mlb is so great 🥲

best part about the playoffs—the world getting to see the filthy stuff of the miz. hitting this is practically impossible. 102 mph. obscene movement. in the shadows. it’s one thing to have velo. it’s another to get a literal foot of movement from left to right in about 60 feet of distance. https://x.com/pitchingninja/status/1978952990338756655?s=46&t=dGdml54Bn5gAjlxSoZTivg

the blue jays offense is back after a bout of bad luck. it’s pretty wild that the jays had two bad games against the mariners and are still by far the best offensive team in the playoffs. the jays are hitting for power, average, and rarely striking out. not sure the mariners have enough pitching or hitting to keep up.

wilson pulling castillo this early is what sets playoff games apart from regular season games. the third inning is the highest leverage situation currently. wilson played matchups against lefties to try and keep the game close. in a regular season game, wilson probably lets castillo try to get out of the jam. wilson managing like game 4 is a must win and hard to argue with that. there’s a big difference between up 3-1 or tied 2-2.

RIP Brewers, I’d like to see the Blue Jays take the ALCS, feel they have the best shot against the juggernaut that is the Dodgers pitching right now…

Watching the Dodgers feels like watching a team assembled by private equity in a stadium built by private equity attended by private equity associates.

this is pure filth. 102 with shadows, then a 90 mph curveball that almost hits edman while he's swinging. https://x.com/MLB/status/1978953121276498192

dodgers off to a solid start beating the brewers opener, ashby, who was in specifically to shut down ohtani and freeman. ashby made a great pitch to ohtani, but to his credit, ohtani reached out and doinked it into right for a triple. now we see if miz can keep this game close.

tonight is a pivotal game for the brewers and facing glasnow may be a blessing for their offense. a few stats on why this matchup favors the brewers: 1.) glasnow's arsenal is doesn't feature an offspeed pitch (change/split) the brewers struggled against snell and yamamoto largely due to their offspeed pitches. snell's circle change and yamamoto's splitter allowed them to effectively pitch backwards to the brewers. glasnow's arsenal features two breaking balls (sliders/curve) and no true offspeed pitch. he's far more of a power pitcher, so this should bode well for the brewers 2.) the brewers are the best team against glasnow's arsenal in the postseason, the brewers have been of the best teams against sinkers and sliders. their offense has produce 0.55 and 0.19 runs above average. we're still looking at a very small sample size, but this may be exactly what the brewers need for an offensive breakout. 3.) the brewers patience the brewers were one of the most patient teams in the league with a 9.1% walk rate, good for 6th in the league. glasnow has a walk rate in the 7th percentile of the league. if glasnow has trouble finding the zone early and the brewers can be patient, there's a good chance the dodgers have to rely on their shaky bullpen to finish the game.
