The Angels plan to interview Torii Hunter and Kurt Suzuki in their managerial search, reports Sam Blum of The Athletic.

Roki Sasaki casually turning into Mariano Rivera just in time for October makes perfect cosmic sense, actually. Because of course.

Dodgers scoring trends in this postseason:

Runs in 1st-5th innings: 13
Runs in 6th-9th/extra innings: 25

Wild Card: 9 early runs, 9 late runs
NLDS: 2 early, 11 late
NLCS (so far): 2 early, 5 late

Though their pitching has been great, it’s that late-game prowess that’s made the difference so far.

Honestly considering the hitting promotion from within, wouldn’t be remotely shocked to see Sagers from Syracuse or pitch dev director Jagers get the nod

Re: Albert, looking at his work developing the bats on the farm (especially looking at the progress of Jacob Reimer, AJ Ewing, and Chris Suero), plus experience in the dugout last September during that dream run, seems like a good pick. He was Goldy’s hitting coach when he won MVP.

Re: Correa,

Cleveland’s MLB Field Coordinator and director of defense, base running, and game strategy.

CLE was a top-4 defensive unit by FRV, top-10 by DRS. The Guards also had MLB’s second-best win percentage in close games (.595) - compare that to Mets’ 2025 mark of .487 (19th)

Sounds like a good hire 👌

Most RBIs in a single postseason in Mariners history:
Edgar Martinez 10 in 1995
Ken Griffey Jr. 9 in 1995
Jorge Polanco 8 and counting in 2025
Jay Buhner 8 in 1995
Alex Rodriguez 7 in 2000

A lot of my Dodgers championship prediction is based on frequency and timing of scoring, specifically a demonstrated ability to consistently score late.

It feels *very* on brand that all but one of the Dodgers’ runs in this NLDS were scored in the sixth inning or later.

Oh totally, and I’m here with family for my sister’s wedding so thankfully this was just a momentary blight on what should be a lovely few days :)

It’s the best possible outcome from a storytelling standpoint. Seattle’s lack of a title aside, neither the Tigers (‘84) nor the Jays (‘93) have won a championship within the last 30-40 years. There’s way more on the line than usual, I can’t wait to see the caliber of baseball that pressure elicits.

People complain about starters not being allowed to go deep into games, but here's Clayton Kershaw finishing off the 7th inning in October, just as the good lord intended
