    Gear up for The World Series returning to Milwaukee by watching Just a Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Brewers. Currently streaming for free on Tubi and Roku.

    Since the Gold Glove has incorporated a Sabermetric component in addition to manager and coach voting, one player being locked in as a default vote for extended periods has been less of a problem. Four guys have won The National League Pitcher version of the award in four years, although Max Freid won it for three years in a row before that. Ron Darling was the last guy to win before Greg Maddux reeled off 13 in a row (and a hard-to-grasp 18 in 19 years). Darling was a terrific fielder, but the year he won, he had probably his poorest fielding year as a Met.

    A friend on another platform pointed out (actually, his son pointed out) that a Cleveland-Milwaukee matchup would be an All-Edmund-Fitzgerald-Ports-of-Call World Series.

    I heard the Phils only offered it to him after Alex Cora pre-refused them.

    Alien entity crash lands on Earth after running afoul of hostile humans. Needs to rendezvous with his people a thousand miles away, and enlists a young widow for help after taking the form of her late husband. ET meets It Happened One Night? I mean, kinda?

    Well, you know, then, never mind.

    Carson is a pretty cool first name, though. He also could have borrowed A.J. Ewing's first name, if that would've helped. This was a pretty broad field, and it may be one of those situations where announcing finalists actually dims interest rather than adding it. Nolan McLean, of course, had been a candy date as well.

    Todd Hundley himself led the league with 150 games caught in 1996. Brent Mayne was supposed to be sharing the job with him that season, but Todd got red hot the first week and never looked back.

    This is good. It'll be hard for Carson Benge to beat out Seiya Suzuki or Carroll (and nobody can touch Wilyer Abreu in the American League), but Torrens is in something close to a dead heat or better with Gabriel Moreno of the Diamondbacks. Playing only 86 games will count against him, but it's a new world, and only two NL catchers caught as many as 120 games this year and none caught 130. Moreno caught just 104 himself.

    Dave Roberts is someone we all should know, though. He's only 54 (looks at least 10 years older), but he's got over 1,000 wins and seems like a quiet cinch to make the all-time top five. Also revered by Red Sox fans for his part in the 2004 comeback. In 11 seasons, he has never won fewer than 91 games, except for the Covid year of 2020 in which his team put up a .717 winning percentage.

    Manager of the Rockies feels like the most anonymous job in baseball.

    "We lost a good one today. Guy Conti our former bullpen coach and special adviser passed away after a lengthy illness. Guy was a friend of Sandy Koufax and beloved by Pedro Martínez. No one had more stories than Guy. His knowledge reached people for decades. Miss you my friend." — Jay Horwitz October 13, 2026 After his coaching tenure with the Mets ended, he stayed on as a special advisor. Here he is holding court with a couple of otherwise-forgotten Mets players:

    Don Mattingly, God bless him, is to the Yankees what Wally Backman is to the Mets. He's never going to get the job, but until the day he dies, you're never going to stop hearing about him getting the job — and about how his not getting the job is a slap in the face to the real fans, and to the real team, as argued by guys who think they somehow speak for both.

    There was certainly a populist movement, likely amounting to nothing, for the Yankees to sweep in and steal him away. Bill Madden, still bringing it at 80 years old, is out there banging the drum for the Yankees to bring back Buck Showalter.
  15. Edgy MD
    Yeah, that's clearer. I should have more accurately stated that the Cubs gave up Rojas to arm up for glory and all they got was this series.
  16. Edgy MD
    I'm not sure where that's sorta.
  17. Edgy MD
    The Cubs gave up Jefferson Rojas in order to arm up for this series.

    Cooby is the real Front-Row Amy.

    I think we mean Guy Conti, and as a Mets figure, he deserves his own thread. He was also the shizz. Gave Bubba a baseball for his kids when Bubbs and I attended a thrilling game at RFK Memorial Stadium, as the Mets held off their 2007 slide down the stretch for one more day. It might have been Jorge Sosa's finest hour. Just a great, square-shouldered, rah-rah, making-time-for-the-kids kind of baseball guy. Member of the Erie Sports Hall of Fame.

    I think we gave up on Front-Row Vic Sage too soon, but I was outvoted.

    Go, industrialized, upper-Midwest, Great Lake-adjacent, swing-state cities!

    Reasons to Dislike the Giants: That whole Pride Day debacle. The 2016 Wild Card game A trip to Allegorical Park in 2025 pretty much began the second half collapse (in my mind, anyhoots). Roger Craig, Giants manager (1985-1992), taught his pitchers to scuff. I kind of like 'em, though.

    MLB can also create a universal day off by: Not expanding the playoffs. Contracting the playoffs. (I disagree that this can't be done.) Scheduling doubleheaders. Shortening the season would bollux up so much of the filter through which we understand baseball and through which baseball is expressed. I realize MLB cares less about this than I do, but they reliably miss the full picture.
  24. Edgy MD
    There are degrees, though. The shit that goes down between Dodger fans and Giants fans is scary. They're not just stupid, older drunks. They've got guys who you'd be scared to run into anywhere mixing it up. I don't know if baseball is better when those two teams aren't good at the same time, but it's safer.

    It's a great career path from beat writer from a third-tier paper to PR assistant to Vice President of PR to general manager. Fred somehow got elevated to the big chair because Al Campanis got the notion in his head that African-Americans weren't buoyant, even thought Claire was the probably the guy who put Al Campanis in that spot in the first place.
