1 run in two games that is surprising.

Twins sweep the Jays and it's off to Houston

Carlos Correa going home.

Boy that Mets contract falling apart worked out for him.

Worst year of his career. 1.4 WAR and .230. What happened? I had him on my HOF potential list.

Definitely not a great year for him. Still only 28, but yah he better redeem himself in the Playoffs or come back strong next year or his HOF chances will dwindle.

He did make a very nice play to throw Bichette out at home.......and a great tag on a pick off play of Vlad Jr., and he drove the first run of the game in with a bases loaded single.........so not a bad to start to these Playoffs.


4 sweeps in the first round.


Let's hope the 2nd round gets a little more intense.

All sweeps in the first round was a surprise. As a Phillies fan, I was not expecting them to beat the Marlins as easily as they did, but Wheeler and Nola really stepped up with great starts. Wheeler wasn't a surprise, but Nola has not been great this year. Next up is Atlanta. I don't see how the Phillies can win this series, but I thought the same thing last year and they beat Atlanta in 4 games so hopefully they can find a way to do it again, but if I had to bet on it, my money would be on the Braves.

Hopefully this round is more competitive, but I could see the Braves, Dodgers, Orioles and Astros all winning pretty easily.

Jay, can you rank the 4 underdogs in Round 2, 1 to 4, with 1 being the best chance at an upset and advancing, to 4 being least likely to advance.

For one thing plantar fasciitis, since about May. He can't run-- 30 GIDP-- and it likely affects his hitting approach also.

The Twins would be really tough to beat with a fully healthy Correa, Lewis and Buxton. Of course, a fully healthy Buxton is seen about as often as a unicorn.

Back to Correa and the key pickoff of Vlad.

"Sonny Gray said this was all Correa. Correa noticed early that the runners couldn’t hear the 3rd-base coach & told Gray about it early in the game."

None of my teams have ever won a WS: Reds, Mariners, Colorado, Twins, Cleveland.

Here are my picks. Twins, Orioles, Arizona. I want to see new blood win a WS. Sonny Gray is a former Reds pitcher. They are my #1 team.
