Dusty Baker thrilled to have Lance McCullers Jr (@lmccullers43) starting tomorrow night. Not sure if his pitch count will be limited, “but Lance will probably want to go as far as he can go.” pic.twitter.com/oNVoMXIfml

Tomorrow night will be Dusty Baker ALCS ring night for the fans, which is a first for Dusty who’s had a boatload of bobbleheads: “To me that’s more than a replica. That’s the prettiest fake ring I think I’ve ever seen in my life and the heaviest.” pic.twitter.com/tXHXB76TQO

After today, we've only got 3 games left with TK, Blummer & Julia for the season.

Is that right?

2022 Aaron Judge is one of the greatest offensive seasons in MLB history. Gwynn's lack of power holds him back from the elite of the elites. His best season by bWAR is 8.7 and OPS+ is 169. Judge is sitting at 10.6 and 214. It's not even all that close.

Love your stats Farmer but again I think you far overvalue some and the fact you can say it "isn't even close" on whether to have Judge or one of the best hitters ever is laughable

Mancini needs to step it up. Just heard he was hittting .184 since becoming an Astro.

They care about nothing but stirring up controversy and trying to get a reaction. The liberal, woke bias plus their degrading treatment of local successes has me about to cancel the paper delivery part. I detest the business section and the socialist that dominates it.

If the Astros don't bring back James Click, the team is expected to reach out to Orioles assistant GM Sig Mejdal, who worked under Jeff Luhnow (per ⁦@BNightengale⁩) https://t.co/jjSb7qeWka

The Houston Astros may have to win the World Series for GM James Click to keep his job, and perhaps even then might not be enough for his job security.

Astros owner Jim Crane has never warmed up to him, and has long questioned whether he's the right guy for the job, despite the Astros' success.

If Click indeed is fired, the Astros are expected to reach out to the Baltimore Orioles for permission to speak to Orioles assistant GM Sig Mejdal, who worked in the Astros' front office under former GM Jeff Luhnow. Mejdal left in November 2018 to join Mike Elias when he was hired as the Orioles GM.
