The strangest but truest extra inning of the year: The #Royals managed to score a run in the 10th today - despite zero official at-bats! Ghost runner on 2nd. Sac bunt Sac fly. Walk. Runner thrown out stealing. Baseball! (In 2020!)

Only one LH hitter in baseball has hit 2 home runs off Josh Hader. Freddie Freeman

I'm officially proclaiming Carlos Correa the wildest free-agent saga ever. One team scheduled a press conference. A second team's owner talked about why they needed him - on the record. And he didn't end up signing with either team! There's never been anything quite like it

Mike Trout's career through 250 HR: .306/.418/.574/.992 250 HR 195 SB Everyone else in history who had that career: (Nobody) (Did it with even 100+ SB: Ruth/Gehrig/Hornsby)

You just witnessed history. Alec Bohm just hit the 1,000th HR in World Series history.

Kyle Schwarber with a box-score line you don’t see much! 6 AB 4 R 5 H 6 RBI 3 HR The only other time we’ve seen it in the modern era: Dave Winfield, on April 13, 1991!

That Phillies bullpen has now blown 6 saves just in their last 4 games. That seems like a lot.

See where Francisco Lindor was playing, right behind the 2B bag? That’s not legal now with these shift rules. So why was he there? Because the Mets thought the Rays were also positioned illegally the inning before. So Lindor decided to make a point. Baseball! (In 2023!)

This is my favorite moment of the whole season. Freddie Frederick Freeman was 4 for 4 vs the Cubs’ real pitchers. Then Anthony Rizzo took the mound. And this happened. Because baseball!

Amazing moment. Anthony Rizzo strikes out Freddie Freeman and they can't stop laughing 😆

The scenario the Braves and Mets both dreaded has happened - rainouts today & tomorrow If playoff spots haven't been decided, they have to play a doubleheader Monday afternoon Think of all the pitchers they'll have to use in that DH, with possible playoff games the next 3 days

Your Max Chaos scenario: Mets play Sunday in Milwaukee... Then a doubleheader Monday in Atlanta... Then a wild-card game Tuesday in San Diego? That's 4 games in maybe 56 hours in 3 time zones! Yikes!

Kyle Schwarber history alert! He's the first position player ever to get no hits all season but then get one in a World Series game.

I'll argue 24/7 that this remains the most famous defensive play in baseball history.

The Dodgers won 112 games. It wasn't enough. So for the 22nd straight season, baseball will not have a repeat champ Last to do that: still the 1998-2000 Yankees Last in the NL: the 1975-76 Big Red Machine Congrats to the Braves, who head for their first World Series since '99
