"That's not true."
Did the Dodgers buy a championship? On the new Starkville, I asked their president, Stan Kasten, about Jason Kelce's take - and lots more!
Also, @dougglanville.bsky.social & I weigh in on Clase,
Ortiz & sports betting. Plus more of your calls!

When I roam around the field before what could be the last game of the World Series, I always ask:

Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper & Trea Turner are 2 for 21, with 11 strikeouts and 4 walks, in this NLDS.
So for my column today in @theathletic.com I asked Schwarber: Have your stars done enough in this series?
He was as accountable as ever.
