Re: MLB 2019: Every Year at Playoff Time, The Dodgers Find A Way to Choke.

Most home runs by a Mets player through his first two seasons:

53 Pete Alonso*
52 Darryl Strawberry
41 David Wright

*still in his first season

League HR record comes down to the last day.

Yankees 305
Twins 304

Yankees have to face Lance Lynn, whos been decent this year. Twins face a no name KC pitcher with an ERA near 7.

Perhaps more impressively, if the Twins win this afternoon, it will be their 56th road victory this season. Other teams since 1900 with as many:

1906 Cubs (60-15 :eek:) - Lost World Series
1908 Pirates (56-21) - Lost Pennant by 1 game
1909 Cubs (57-20) - Lost Pennant by 6 games
2001 Mariners (59-22) - Lost ALCS
2018 Astros (57-24) - Lost ALCS

If the Twins lose, they will match the 1971 Athletics road win total (55). The 1971 A's also lost in the ALCS.

This is pretty surprising to me...of the best road teams in the history of major league baseball (at least by record), none have won a World Series, and only one made it there. Hopefully, the Twins can do what these teams could not. :)

Rays/A's at the Coliseum for the AL WCG. ESPN front office probably bawling their eyes out (though I appreciate that they're bringing back the Statcast broadcast, especially given the teams playing), but should be a great game, Coliseum atmosphere during the playoffs is seriously underrated and Manaea vs Morton is a pretty fun pitching matchup.

If the Houston Astros do not issue an intentional walk today, they will become the first team possibly ever (at least since 1955, when IBB stats were first kept) to have 0 IBBs in a season.

I remember when he was a genius.

I would love to see him in Queens but the Ponzis would never hire a guy who talks back.

I love Joe and wish there were more professional sports HCs like him. But it was the right move. He'll find a lot of soul mates and old baseball friends in Cali.

He is a good clubhouse manager, but the Cubs won the World series in spite of him. He managed scared during the playoffs.
