And this is why I hate postseason-related discourse, both about players and teams. Small sample sizes are meaningless.
We’re 13 months removed from ”the Dodgers can’t win in the postseason.”

Yup. Down two, fourth inning, Game 7, the number nine hitter. The perfect time to plunk a guy. /s
ok but logically nobody is trying to drill someone for funsies or to send a message in game 7 of a world series

As a Yankee fan, my desire for this series was for it to go as long as possible, and for both teams to have no shortage of moments that made their fans want to claw their eyes out.
Mission accomplished.

Finished the season 10-7. Not bad, considering they were 2-6 in my visits to the Stadium back in July.

Moisés Ballesteros hit his first MLB home run into the left field bleachers and -- this is hard to believe -- it was hit right to Anthony Rizzo, who couldn't make the catch.

I didn’t realize his batting average was so high
The thing about Volpe is that he's hitting .177/.215/.367 since June 28th and the Yanks have a better player literally on the roster.

I understand why they do it, but it is extremely funny to me that the grounds crew waters the infield dirt to prep the field after a rain delay

Every time you go to the stadium, you see something you’ve never seen before. Sometimes it’s a rarely called play, and sometimes it’s the Stadium maintenance crew pulling out the sand and disinfectant because somebody puked in your row.

A fan at PNC Park said they flew 23 hours to watch the Pirates on their sign in English/Japanese (I Believe) on the Jumbotron
The fan then flipped the sign, which said "Bob, Sell The Team!" in both English and Japanese, to which the Jumbotron focused on another fan

A pitcher named Lord on the mound for Hamilton Night seems appropriate
Yankees/Nationals Lineups!
Start of a 3-game series. Chisholm & Grisham 2 HR last night. Jazz leads AL 2B in WAR & OPS, 1 HR & RBI behind Brandon Lowe for 1st there, too, and he missed a month. Grisham top 5 among AL OF in OPS & HR. Rice catching, Caballero at SS
Game at 7 on YES, BP/Pre at 6/6:30
