I fully understand people who disagree, but I actually like the way MLB handled Yuli. Suspensions are always so subjective in length you don't want to screw it up and have the league decide the WS.

McHugh looks like a baseball player version of Haley Joel Osmet

Not to talk baseball but.. Is Verlander available for an inning or two?

Paul Swydan

10:20

I sincerely doubt it.

MAYBE McCullers, but I doubt that too.

I get that people are still pissed about Gurriel, but we all make mistakes. He knew he made a mistake and apologized for it. Darkish accepted his apology and is willing to move on. Can't we all move on?

Paul Swydan

10:20

Is this your first time on the internet, Connor? :-)

Man that's a tough strike 3 call, but it looked like it was int he zone.

10:21

Nope, actually Gameday has it inside.

is there a scenario where it'd make sense to send out Verlander? At home, chance to get one of the 2 wins needed for the Astros. Tied game. Then if he pitches only a couple innings, go with him game 7 to start

Paul Swydan

10:22

I think I'd rather just stick with him for Game 6 and hope he throws a complete game. With your plan, he's definitely not throwing a CG in Game 7.

I’m flabbergasted by the defenses of racism being posted here. Come on.

Do players who sign in their teens go through some sort of cultural education/training? And do grown up FA signings like Gurriel?

Paul Swydan

10:23

Whether they go through it or not, they're still teenagers, and as such, probably not paying attention. But also, that wouldn't have applied to Gurriel, who was most certainly not a teenager when he signed.

Oh wow.

I guess Reddick was too shallow there, but that barely got out. He might have had a shot at robbing that if he was in position.

I do agree that international kids (and grown ups!) could use cultural mentors.

wow- Hinch is going to get really pounded for bringing in McHugh in this situation......

Paul Swydan

Who would you have brought in?

leave kershaw in for another?

Now, yeah.

Bellinger MVP so far?

Paul Swydan

How crazy would that statement have felt 24 hours ago.

This series really has made me notice how much the Cubs players cursed last year with the audio drops compared to this year.

You just can't win a WS with a pen like this.

Paul, you're forgetting that you're Reddick to try and perform in a clutch situation.

What does Kershaw have to do from here on out to get WSMVP honors? I feel like the odds are way too low now.
