NL Wild Card Series: Game 3 Thread

NL Wild Card Series: Game 3 Thread The Cubs fell behind the Padres 3-0 in Game 2 and could not overcome the dominant Padres bullpen, which put up 5.1 innings of one-hit pitching. That evened the series at 1-1 and forces a deciding game three.   The Cubs will send Jameson Taillon out to start things on the mound. Taillon had a solid 2025 with a stronger first half and some uneveness in the second half. He pitched 6.0 against St. Louis in his last start, striking out eight, walking two, ...

Lucky or Unlucky : 2025

I like to do this annually - figuring where the team got lucky and unlucky and seeing how that factored into this season and what might be read into 2026, given return to forms are often seen for people way under or over performing.   LUCKY  Prospects can surprise but Daylen Lile hitting well enough to win player of the month of September and setting himself up for a starting role in 2026 was well above and beyond expectations.  It was way more likely that Amed Rosario was ...

ALWC 2: Yankees 4, Red Sox 3

Red Sox - 002 001 000 - 3  6  0 Yankees - 200 010 01x - 4 10  1 If Thursday's Game 3 ends up being as evenly-matched as the first two games, fans of both teams will be completely exhausted. Game 2 was packed with no less tension, elation, anxiety, relief, and terror as Tuesday's opener.  Boston manager Alex Cora stayed with starter Brayan Bello for only 28 pitches and ended up using six bullpen arms. The Yankees slipped home a run against Garrett Whitlock in the eighth and ...

A pair of defensive saves by Dansby Swanson kept the Cubs trailing by just one run. The top of the Padres lineup came around and Counsell called in Daniel Palencia. He allow...
