Tigers moved into an ALC tie last night with their 3 game sweep of the White Sox.
As far as what to fix about baseball, there could be a long list of things.
Yes, Labor Day marks the traditional end of the summer season. But the summer game keeps on going.
This year, game 7 of the World Series will be played on November 1st. If I could change something in baseball, I would slice a few weeks off the schedule, so we never see November baseball again.
Baseball has joined other sports in having playoffs which drag on too long, in my opinion. And they roll the dice every year because you can run into bad baseball weather in most of the country as the most important games of the year are played.
Even better than the races is seeing some of the young talent coming up. Mike Trout’s historic rookie season. Bryce Harper, despite his struggles. Jurickson Profar hitting a HR at 19 in his first AB. Strasburg’s comeback. Yoenis Cespedes adapting to the big leagues in what would have been a great rookie season, except for Mr. Trout. For us Cubs fans we have seen the arrival of Anthony Rizzo, along with Jackson and Vitters as faces of the future. Thank goodness for the MLBtv package.
The Dodgers spent a zillion dollars a week ago and are now 2 games farther back than they were.
Chemistry and pitching generally trump money and hitting down the stretch....
“Who knows if we’ll have the thrilling ending we had last year (my money is on no)”
The understatement of the year at the end of the article. Last year was one for the ages
