My 6th season has come to an end after tonight's win. I'll have some content coming out over the next few days and weeks on my Substack, but be sure to subscribe/follow/whatever over there since I'm stepping away from social media for a little while. jbrophybaseball.substack.com

Rocco Baldelli has withdrawn from the Mariners’ managerial search, citing family considerations at this moment in time, sources tell The Athletic.

I obvs can't post them all in one post, but there were 8 (not 5) charters flying into TPA, including 2 private jets. Odd to see a mix of Delta, United and National, though.

Kudos to the Milwaukee Brewers for sending five planes to Tampa Bay, bringing along not only their players and families, but their entire front office staff and scouting and development departments.

They need to implement this in MLB ASAP. It works in the FSL and I've seen enough to know it works.

We need the check swing challenge in the Majors!

I guess the 1B ump wanted to go home because Yandy didn't swing

Rays cannot depend on Seymour and Matz to get them through close innings in the World Series. I'm sure they're some analytics that say to use them, but I think you gotta use some "feel" this time of year.

If you wanted to do a 9-9-9 challenge in Milwaukee, your total would be $177.66. $71.91 for the dogs ($7.99 each) and $105.75 for the beers ($11.75 each), according to the Ballpark app.

My son, Plop, and I are ready for World Series Game 2! I asked him what he thought of the Brewers, and this was his response (Go Rays #ForTampaBay ):

Yankees catcher J.C. Escarra is playing 1B tonight for the Águilas Cibaeñas. This may be something to follow in coming weeks; he hasn't played 1B since 2025 with the Yankees. youtube.com/live/F_USx-qBCq8…

The Rays sent out an email yesterday saying, "Seating is general admission in sections 125-129." They ended up opening sections 119-137 because it was *that* full; the crowd kept growing even after I took this video in the 2nd inning. I'd love to see attendance numbers.
