Here’s an interesting fact, of the 8 teams in the Playoffs, only 1 has managed a road win this this year. Of course this means that 3 teams are facing elimination, among them the Rockies. While they looked pretty good against the Brewers in the first game the second one was hopeless. They’re just attempting …

2018 Senior League Division Championship Game 2: Yankees @ Red Sox
La La La Lola strikes again. Well, not quite the result you had hoped for if you’re a Yankees fan, if on the other hand you’re part of Red Sox nation you should be satisfied but not excited, it was close. Without that initial blast from Martinez the Bullpen looks extremely shaky which is too …

2018 Junior League Division Championship Game 2: Indians @ Astros
Wild Thing 2 Well, in the movies. In real life the Indians are down 1 – 0 to the ‘Stros which is significant in a short Series like a Division Championship but not unexpected for an away game. The ‘Stros will send Gerrit Cole (R, 15 – 5, 2.88 ERA) to the mound. The last …

2018 Senior League Division Championship Game 2: Braves @ Dodgers
From 2 teams I have some admiration for to 2 teams I don’t like at all. Braves / Dodgers resumes with the Dodgers leading the Braves 1 – 0. Tonight the Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw (L, 9 – 5, 2.73 ERA) to face Aníbal Sánchez (R, 7 – 6, 2.83 ERA) of the Braves. Kershaw …

2018 Junior League Division Championship Game 1: Yankees @ Red Sox
Lola strikes. I suppose I should view this with greater anticipation but I’ve been watching Yankees / Red Sox all year (19 Games!). The sad thing is that these are the only two teams in post-Season I care about even a little. The Red Sox will start David Price (L, 16 – 7, 3.58 ERA) …

2018 Senior League Division Championship Game 2: Rockies @ Brewers
Well that was a good nap. Rockies are down by one which is a big deal in a 5 game series but it was a road game and you kind of expect to lose those. The Brewers looked much more credible than I thought they were so this may be the year that makes Mel …

2018 Junior League Division Championship Game 1: Indians @ Astros
Wild Thing. Other than that it’s hard to get enthused about an Indians / Astros matchup. Indians of the Land of Cleves will hurl Corey Kluber (R, 20 – 7, 2.89 ERA) against the ‘Stros Justin Verlander (R, 16 – 9, 2,52 ERA). Last year Kluber lost his game in the Division Series with 10 …

2018 Senior League Division Championship Game 1: Braves @ Dodgers
You know, just writing that makes it clear, I have no dog in the Senior League this year. These are the two teams I hate the most. I can’t stand to watch either of them. If you must the Dodgers are my least favorite team because they’re traitors. The Braves are Division rivals and I …
