Two possibilities:
1. MLB was naive to the fact that their players would start rigging certain outcomes;
2. MLB knew it might happen and didn’t care.
Neither is good.
What a bunch of clowns running this show.

NJ is a blue state, let’s make that clear.
But tonight was still a massive message. This was supposed to be close.
It was over before a few counties even started releasing their numbers.
The AP could have called it earlier if they wanted to. Glad they didn’t. But this was over quickly.

Great win by the Dodgers.
That is why I never liked IKF in pinstripes - nice kid who seems to lack some basic fundamentals. But people loved him because he made a lot of weak contact.
Off to the Hot Stove!

I do it as well sometimes.
But I love when baseball fans find the outliers who “figured it out” after 1,500+ PA while ignoring the most common outcome:
They never figure it out.

“Toronto’s contact over the Yankees power…”. Emphasize it 2.2 million times.
ALCS:
“Wow, this Mariners power. Recent playoff history tells you that you want power over contact”

What is maddening is to think about all the top tier shortstops we passed on to protect this untouchable asset.

“Contact at the right moment wins baseball games”
John Smoltz with more hard-hitting analysis.
I never knew that making hard (important) contact with runners on base was a winning baseball formula.

HR tally:
Blue Jays 6
Yankees 0
Yankees have two HR so far in five postseason games. And any they hit in this game will be very much meaningless.
Good time for Aaron Judge to hit one though.

No matter what John Smoltz is feeding you:
The Jays are crushing the Yankees with hard hit balls, many of which are going over the fence.

One 5–hopper leads to a run:
“Exit velocity is meaningless!”
A bunch of balls hit 800 MPH:
Crickets.

Smoltz’s ability to repeat factually inaccurate things, and describe the exact opposite of what is actually happening is almost impressive.
