To correct my previous post regarding the Colorado Rockies and Warren Schaeffer, the club is in contact with their interim manager and the plan is to converse more this week.
Schaeffer, 40, took over for a club projected for 134 losses and avoided the Modern Era record for most in a single season.

Bo Joseph Bichette.
Game 7 is being defined by slowness.
First by Shohei Ohtani and the time he's taking to get to the mound after htting. Next by Bo Bichette and his injured knee.
As such, we've got a 0-0 game with a lot of intrigue.
