honored to have an AL Rookie of the Year vote along with colleague @russdorsey.bsky.social

new at Yahoo Sports, a look at our respective ballots and who snagged the final couple spots behind the obvious top three as ROY voting expanded from 3 to 5 spots this year:

Here's how our AL Rookie of the Year ballots played out as Athletics' Nick Kurtz was unanimous choice
While Kurtz's unanimous award came as no surprise, there were several other intriguing storylines among AL rookies that made the remainder of the ballot a challenge to fill out.

@davidjroth.bsky.social my wife is a Boyertown High School grad so I was gifted with this clip of a school produced news video highlighting Senior Trey Yesavage.

We have simply never captured pure baseball brain in such a way.

Andy Pages is out of the Dodgers starting lineup for Game 5 -- the first time he hasn't started this month -- with Kiké starting in CF and Alex Call in LF

via @stathead.com, Pages' .215 OPS is by far the lowest of any player ever with at least 50 plate appearances in a single postseason

the Blue Jays battled valiantly for 18 innings, but missed scoring opportunities, missed pitch locations, and missing four of their best players by the end of game cost them badly

recorded from Dodger Stadium deep into the Los Angeles night...

oddly enough this pod actually got *more* coherent as it went along unlike the actual game

nevertheless, a delightful and delirious experience all around

thanks for listening; next episode will be after Game 5 🫡
