baseball is the best game
I don't know why but I really love the game but it's a bit overwhelming tactically, you need to have a lot of information to understand why things are done a certain way.

What an insane finish to the A's - Astros game... Bregman can't avoid being the main man in walk-off situations.

Is Baseball the best commented game? The anecdotes are sometimes actually interesting and funny.
Cool commentary from the other day...

The Red Sox coaching staff had more career at bats against Bartolo Colon than the Red Sox lineup before he took the mound against them.

That's a good one, Colon started his career when some of his teammates weren't born though.

Another pretty poor performance from Kershaw :( (although his outfielders let him down).

He looks well passed his peak now, post season failures will always be his legacy.

Any comments on the annual award winners?

I heard Michael Wilbon going off on deGrom's award win. Wilbon made himself look an utter fool.

DeGrom had a 1.70 ERA. That’s absolutely unreal.

Had he pitched for the Red Sox, he’d have probably won 25 games.

No doubt. Or just about any other .500 or above club with that could hit.

deGrom's season was historic.
