I wish they could figure out how to sack Mayfield.

58 yard field goal

Thanks for the penalties… Ha!

$20 million a year for a guy under replacement value. I guess a lot of of these contracts end like that.

I don’t really mean to “like” this because I hold nothing against Nick but that seems kind of astonishing, but maybe not.

Dodgers now lead Milwaukee three games to zero. Scherzer is pitching for the Jays and Naylor just hit a home run for the Mariners who now lead 1-0 in the second while the series stands at 2-1 M’s.

Once again, I am so glad that this is not my problem. I have a habit of looking for problems, but this ain’t one of them.

Now 13-4 Jays in the top of the ninth. That’s pretty much an emphatic comeback. Feel kind of bad for the Seattle fans who had to endure this. They had such high hopes and this series is not over yet by any means but man, this is a real butt kicking.

And suddenly the Blue Jays scored five runs in the top of the third. I certainly am glad this isn’t my problem.

As much as I want to, I still can’t make myself care about this game or watch it much longer. I wish them well. The Mariners that is.

The Mariners know how to make contact. It is what it is.

Rodriguez hits a two run homer in the bottom of the first for the Mariners in game three then Polanco gets a double.

My own meager interest in the postseason after our own team’s elimination is now in the hands of the Seattle Mariners. But given how the Dodgers seem to have resurrected their pitching staff and how poorly Ohtani has hit in the postseason, which probably can’t be expected to continue, i’m not holding my breath about the Mariners chances.

What about Wenceel Pérez? Before the trade deadline I apparently ill advisedly suggested trading him for pitching while his stock was high. Given at least his last 30 games of the regular season and in the postseason, how do people feel about him now?

Scott Harris is just doing it his way, like Frank Sinatra.

I just checked the Dodger Brewer game with the Dodgers leading 5-1. What a bore.

Meh. I’m off to do other things. There’s just no “there“ for me in this game.

I did find a Yahoo sports announcement. He’d been banned from Dominican Winter ball.

I can’t find any independent verification of this except on a Yankees fan site on Facebook. I hope it’s true if they are able to confirm he was doing this.

First batter for the Brewers homers in game two. Jackson Chourio homers (2) on a fly ball to right center field.

Just watched the first of eight approximately 1/2 hour episodes on HBO of Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company. I really enjoyed Detroiters, and sometimes cringe comedy is too much for me, but the added elements of mystery and the surreal in this first episode and where it might lead really has me hooked. It’s cringe and Lynchian at the same time.

Someone with a better skill set than my own should keep us informed on what’s happening in the Arizona Fall League with our players.

In the press conference I like the emphasis on making contact. Also I don’t know where they had this press conference or if they changed something, but the audibility of those asking questions is vastly superior than to what we usually experienced in Comerica Park during the regular season. I frequently noticed that when the team was on the road, you could actually hear the press corps asking questions whereas at Comerica you couldn’t. It was also kind of funny when the lights went out.

SH said some of our top prospects will reach the major leagues in 2026.
