I was wondering the same thing.
Manfred said today the ghost runner rule has a good chance to survive to 2021.
He proclaimed it a victory a few weeks into the season.
One of those whiny little fucks on the broadcast today made a good point. If it’s a such a good thing, and everyone loves it, why did they take it out for the Postseason?
I think they decided not to do it in the postseason very early and as a sop to humorless baseball fundamentalists (ie, all of us).
Jose Berrios is pretty good. Still no word on who the Astros starter for game two is.
I never thought I’d say this but by dinghies I’m a Braves fan now.
Urquidy announced for game 2.
Please provide your own punchline:
Forget it. He’s rolling.
The best thing about life before Twitter was the village idiot stayed in his own village.
How the heck do we play five games in a row? Obviously we cannot tandem two starters in a single game.
Nope. Big boy baseball from here on out. Gonna need solid starts and rely on key bullpen guys. Dusty is gonna have to up his game.
Welp, we’re boned!
Is the roster redone for each series like usual?
I’m assuming so.
How are they doing the home/road team? 2-2-1?
Sporting news says yes, 2-2-1 format.
Except that they’re all in the same place, right? So it’s just a matter of who’s batting last.
Correct.
Based on seeding, not record.
Looks like yes, same as always with roster changes in each round.
Couldn’t find definitive answer, but reports from SD about Clevinger not being on the WC roster made it sound like LDS roster could change.
