With the Blue Jays forcing a Game 7, we now have 6 series that have gone the full distance this postseason

That passes 2020 and 2012 for the most in a single postseason

(And yes, there are more series these days, but 6 has been possible since ‘95 and in ‘81)

As if the 2025 Postseason wasn't crazy enough, this is the 2nd time in LCS history (since 1969) where both the AL and NL home teams started 0-2.

The other? 1970 when it was a Best of 5 series. The Orioles over the Twins and the Reds over the Pirates.

We are now guaranteed a World Series matchup that we’ve never seen before

Baseball is the best!!!!

h/t @jasonbernard.bsky.social for the q

Dan Wilson played for the Mariners when they last won the AL West in 2001. Now he manages them

He’s the 3rd individual to play for & then manage sequential division titles for a team, joining:

Craig Counsell MIL (2011 plyr, ‘18 mgr)
Bruce Bochy SD (1984, ‘96)

If there's anyone I could guarantee would make a good home for these cards, it was Jacob!

ICYMI We surprised @slangsonsports.bsky.social with the Birthday Index on Friday

What you shouldn't miss, today is Max Scherzer's birthday and he's taking the hill! Among players who have pitched on their birthday (since 1969), Max leads them all with 41 Ks and will add to that tally today.

WOOOOO congrats bud!

It's probably because it's a question of who would you vote for again. There isn't an option for a what if since they've seen both options in action already.

30+ combined hours of flight time incoming. What content should I download? All book, movie, show recs appreciated!

So many hours have been lost to it. But it's so good, so worth it!
