Respectfully, I reject the premise. It is nearly impossible to bludgeon weaker opponents and not be a good baseball team.
You may not like this, but understanding it is true baseball zen: Sometimes good teams perform poorly. It's a high variance sport with very few samples.
As World Series dream slips away, reality check awaits Yankees, Aaron Judge. nytimes.com/athletic/5882025…

This f***in guy ❗️
You should’ve used Scott’s model for your agency. Now you’re onto being a hitting guru. Was the 5% you were trying to take from players not enough.
Rings⁉️ what do you know about rings. You don’t even know what a playoff hotdog tastes like. You try to flex on people with your “Rangers rookie of the year” and you hit 256 1 HR 12rbi.
You give all the OGs a bad rep with your lack of knowledge in all facets of the game. Just make sure you have plenty of beer for the bus rides or I’ll keep stuffing you in your locker ❗️
What a Scott Boras client being more excited about MONEY than a RING!
Oh wait I forgot that’s what most Scott Boras clients care about.
Maybe he can get paid to have a podcast the last couple years of his contract.
Scott can use your contract as the model! 🤣🤣🤣

The third-time-thru-the-order penalty guides a lot of decision making regarding SPs, but there's a postseason dynamic regarding bullpen arms we should also pay attention to. The more hitters see relievers in a series, they better they hit:

I've tried to examine this and slice it and dice it a dozen different ways. I'm up to slicing and dicing it in other ways if you all have suggestions.
I can summarize it this way. I find no evidence that the switch to one-knee down catching is leading to more WPs and PBs in MLB.

Smoltz is absolutely wrong. The third time through the order penalty--starting pitchers' relative ineffectiveness the third time he faces the lineup relative to the first two times--is no worse now than it was a half century ago. Always been there. baseballprospectus.com/news/…

Joe Sheehan on Altuve. My comment to my son during the game on this particular play: "Dubon would have made that play."

Frankly, I’d be surprised if the Astros non-tendered anyone listed below.
Happy @mlbtraderumors arbitration projection day to you and yours. It will be an expensive process for the local nine.

Tony Randazzo is home plate umpire for Tigers-Astros Game 1
His zone's a little bit wider than most umps for left-handed hitters, a little longer at the bottom for right-handed hitters
Overall: Pitcher-friendly umpire

Dear lord, we're about to get Edwin Diaz against Jarred Kelenic in an incredible spot

Okay this will be a nice press conference and all but who is actually going to run baseball operations?

Tigers at Astros means A.J. Hinch will be the 3rd manager to face a team in a postseason series that he previously managed to a World Series title, joining:
Terry Francona (with CLE) vs. BOS in the 2016 ALDS
Billy Martin (with OAK) vs. NYY in the 1981 ALCS

Over at Fangraphs, @DSzymborski projection is pretty down on the Guardians and Royals as postseason-optimized rosters. Good news for the Astros: blogs.fangraphs.com/which-te…
