My 13-month-old brought my copy of Moneyball off my bookshelf to me this morning and I gotta say, I was not quite prepared to have to explain the concept of analytics in baseball and how it changed the landscape of the sport.

Max Muncy's first home run and RBI of the postseason pads the Dodgers lead and knocks Freddy Peralta out of the game.

After Frelick's play against Muncy's whacky double play/near grand slam in last night's game, he nearly put himself in a spot to rob this home run.
