Not really. They're a good team and well designed for postseason.

Zimmerman is bringing the veteran presents (presence?) for Soto's birthday.

Has MLB improved under Manfred overall?

I had all that time to create ZiPS in prison!

is it true that the first set of ZiPS projections was brewed in the toilet?

What a coincidence, people with other birthdays getting hits on the same day as Juan Soto's birthday!

It was just paper bits with numbers on them in the concrete sink.

Manfred improvement for owners: Values of franchises climbing much faster than the market. But the fans are paying more than ever and the players are getting a smaller piece by modern standards, so I guess it depends. His bosses are happy!

Dan, I agree that the Nats are well-constructed for the post-season, but by BaseRuns, the Astros were 20 games better than the Nats.  Have there been any bigger WS upsets recently?
AvatarDan Szymborski

But you have to count playoff construction because it *is* different.

I think we definitely don't want to go down THAT road, which I foolishly opened.

I don't think Manfred is quite as much of a hard-liner on many issues as Manfred is.

Strength of schedule should also be noted here.  NL was actually significantly better than AL this year, and NL East had 4 teams going for it.  Astros schedule was a lot easier.

Today is Juan Soto's 21st birthday.  Zach Greinke is number 21!  Can't be a coincidence.

If the astros win, the Nats will be leading 2-1!

Is it a bullpen game for the Astros tomorrow no matter what?  Or does that change if they lose?
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:23
it sounds like that's the case regardless. No Cole for Game 4.
That's what Hinch said today, anyway

Ok, Dan: Based on the post-season-roster-adjusted current depth charts on Fangraphs, the Astros are 13 WAR better than the Nationals.  Still not a big upset?  (I don't mean this to be catty or sarcastic; I legitimately wonder how that gap compares to other recent World Series matchups.)

I'm not sure that's *notable* compared to some
