that was a brutally unfortunate ending to what was one of the better postseason games we've seen in quite some time

Céspedes Family BBQ @cespedesbbq.bsky.social · 14h

totally valid takes here! never intended to tell fans how they should feel, and obviously recognize the randomness of October...I guess my perspective is just a reflection of my assessment of the quality of the roster relative to the previous 3 seasons so my expectations are higher. but I hear y'all

We just have to run it back even HARDER next year. Bring some guys back from 1993, maybe?

with Opening Day on deck, it's once again time to review the offseason through a very simple lens:

HOW DIFFERENT ARE THE BASEBALL TEAMS?

returning = still in the organization

Shota Imanaga allowed at least 1 HR in 9 straight starts to finish the regular season (+ another in the Wild Card series)

that's quite the streak but nowhere close to being historic

via @stathead.com, the record for most consecutive outings allowing 1+ HR belongs to...Bert Blyleven!

20!
