WOW NO ONE'S GOT A BETTER RUN DIFFERENTIAL THAN THE GUARDIANS WHAT A STORY THEY'RE GONNA WIN THE WORLD SERIES! #ImADickhead

 

It's incredible. There are kids at my daughter's middle school who look older than him.

 

It does help when +35 of that +51 run differential came in six wins over Oakland. But go Tribe.

 

Not to suggest the Guards are awesome or the A’s don’t suck, but also not for nothing, in games not against the A’s, the Guards are 10-5 and have a +17 run differential, which is still better than 10 of the other 14 American League teams. And in games not against the Guards, The A’s are 8-8 and have outscored their opposition.

 

I think the Central as a whole is better than expected. Was impressed with the Royals in the two series Baltimore played against them.

 

Both Centrals are much better than anyone expected. But I think the Pirates are back to being the Pirates. I thought they might break thru but they did a whole shitload of Pirates things against the Mets.

 

Clear bags have been SOP at ballparks since 9/11, no?

 

The thing Cleveland has going for it is Kyle Manzardo and Gavin Williams haven’t played a game yet. What it has against it is an ownership that will let a hopeful young team down by not adding the two starting pitchers it will need to keep its bullpen from losing a tire. Williams and Bieber were the two horses they needed to compete in a playoff series. One horse already came up lame. I don’t see McKenzie regaining his fastball this season. That elbow is on borrowed time.

 

Elayne Boosler?
I’m pretty sure I saw her on an episode of Match Game sitting by Richard Dawson and Fanny Flagg.

 

For sure since the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in 2017. The Eagles sent my dad two clear bags before the start of the following season with his tickets for the year.

 

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

 

Jorge Soler has driven in 2 of the 70 runners on base during his ABs, 2!!! Not sustainable right? Regression to the mean is coming right?
