Bregman has his OPS up to .768 with a late September surge

slugging .453 with 58 x-base hits

he may get his 6 years $150 MM with those numbers

If we give Breggy six years, then we should add the extra year on Tuve's deal just to give him the extra chance to get to 3k.

Isn't Altuve's contract basically for as long as he wants to play

Would be nice to face Clase this weekend...but I wonder if Guardians would hold him back so our guys don't see him. He is the scariest guy in the AL playoffs in my opinion. He just does not get beat.

Edit: Rangers traded him and DeShields to Indians for Kluber--so glad he is not playing for S Oklahoma these days


Lol…I have a buddy who is a lifelong Rangers fan. He tells me at least once a week that he still has nightmares about the Clase trade. He literally texts me every time a new Clase stat/achievement hits twitter.

Last year there were 2 early Wild Card games (Both AL Series) and 2 late Wild Card games (Both NL Series). Really hoping we get one of the late games. Absolutely hate having the day playoff games. I assume the Mets series gets one of the late times and wouldn't surprise me to see the Padres late as well since they are West Coast. Really rooting for Mets @ Padres to kill both those scenarios and maybe we get the other night games

Good video on this season, and how the dying dynasty was saved. ~15 minutes

I love playoff day games, but understand the frustration others have

Astros wildcard will almost certainly not be a night game

A little late but nice win.

I know last night's game didn't matter but man Hader sure needs to wake up and put his A game forward. 2 in the bottom of the 9th isn't acceptable for our closer.

NL wildcard chase:

88 wins - Arizona
87 wins - Atlanta & NYM

should see wildcard teams...that have clinched...resting starters

one thing about Hader...

he's been used a lot more in 2024 with the Astros

2024 --> 71 appearances for 71 innings

2023 --> 61 appearances for 56 innings

I assume Detroit and KC will pitch back-end starters and call up some minor league options.

Thanks for that awesome sprint to the finish, Twins.

I'm really excited to see AJ Hinch manage in October, and I'm even more fascinated to see how he is treated by the media. Cora has seemingly been revived in the public eye despite being the only MLB figure known to have stolen signs illegally with 2 different franchises. You can measure that in words of affirmation he's received publicly or just the $21M extension he received this year.

AJ Hinch didn't know if he would ever manage in the game again. Smart baseball fans know the details: Hinch was smashing monitors to show condemnation for the sign stealing while Cora was orchestrating the scheme with Beltran as his right hand man. But at the end of the day, AJ didn't stop it. He was suspended, shunned, and served his time. He's owned his role in everything, and been accountable along the way.

Now he owns his place as the manager of baseball's Cinderella squad - the roar of 24. His story will be told, and when that happens my hope is that it is shared accurately and succinctly so as not to detract from what the Tigers are accomplishing. Neither the team nor the manager deserve to live in the shadow of 17 at this point. Hopefully the baseball media allows them to just be this year's feel good story.

I'm a big AJ fan. I'm really glad for him. What he's doing in Detroit is good stuff.

How can you NOT put Yordan on the WCS roster. Injured YA is better than last guy on the roster and he needs at least a few live at bats (pinch hitting?) to stay sharp at the plate for ALDS series.

Yeah it's a long season Carlos. That's why you're paid big bucks. And this coming from a guy that can't stay healthy and maybe plays half a season.

The comments about Correa are wild. Honestly, who cares? He's not on the Astros, so aside from it would be great to watch him succeed, just as I wished it for George, I don't care anything more than that.
