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.

I want to see a Baltimore-Arizona WS. So sick of the Dodgers and the Astros!

+1 and everyone not from Texas or So-Cal.

It will be interesting to see how these series play out. 3 of the 4 home teams (that had long layoffs) lost game 1 which can be tough to come back from in a 5 game series.

I know you are too young to remember but the Reds won in 1919, and 1940; the Twins won in 1987 and 1991 (and in 1924 as the Senators) and the Indians won in 1828 and 1948.

I would to see the O's and D-Backs.

You are correct, I forgot these.

Now it's getting good.

4-3 bottom of 7th.

My first thought was, wait, the Little Bighorn was 1876, not 1828...

Of course, you meant 1920, with Tris Speaker and Joe Wood.

Thanks, my fingers got displaced and I seldom proof read but should

Speaker was great as usual but Smokey Joe was very much a non-factor. Jim Bagby Sr. and Stan Coveleski lied the way.

What were Bagby and Coveleski lying about?
