I cannot wait for the pitch clock, and I'm saying that as a diehard Yankees fan. My goodness their games are slooooow.

I watched chunks of the 2017 postseason walking around Toyko Disney with my kids. My wife is very patient with me in October.

Ah…the good bad days. I quit watching the NFL when Irsay drove away in the March snow. No regrets.

This is in response yo my Don Nottingham mention, I assume. Norm Bulaich was there, as well.

So Britton, Effross, King, and Chapman are all hurt or deactivated for being AWOL...am I missing anyone else on the Yankees' staff who is hurt?

Marinaccio
Montas, Ridings, Green

Amazing that the Yankees still have a decent pen with the attrition in the back end this season

Couldn't agree more. Add in all the pitching depth they traded at the deadline and goodness gracious they have a lot of arms

Did Jose not think that was ball 4?
Ben Clemens

I'm not sure. That was slowwwww

What's so impressive about the Yankees is that many pitching prospects they traded were mid- or late-round picks

Guardians pitchers have allowed two runs and 10 hits in 28 innings so far this postseason.

Watching Britton go out was tough. Hope he’s able to recover and come back. I’d like him to warm up in Toronto and actually make it into the game. 😬

The Guardians really need Naylor's bat to step up if they are going to have a real shot in this series (let alone any future series)

Time for my first beer of the night, which doubles as my single favorite beer: Anderson Valley Briney Melon Gose

I am having a Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest. It is my second tonight.

This is a northern California only thing, presumably, but if you have a chance to have one and like sours at all, do it

Ben, that’s too many words for a beer. I’ll buy you a Busch Light.

Oooooooh I love Leinie's
Also a good choice, David

I like 99.5% of Bob Costas but I'm getting tired of him (along with basically every other announcer) praising players for not celebrating cool stuff they do - we want personalities!

I have been inspired. Opening a Nine Pound Porter from Georgetown Brewing here in Seattle

Does anyone know what on earth the Guardians' mascot is?  Seems like they missed a good opportunity to roll out a cool-looking gargoyle to go with the new name, instead of the . . . thing they have instead.

Programming note: I talked to Triston McKenzie recently and plan to share that conversation at the end of the week two lead into his Saturday start.

Back from my class in China. The students think baseball is a bourgeoise endeavor and you all need reeducation, and that WAR undervalues performance in high leverage situations.
Chad Young

That is going to stand, isn't it. Wow
Ben Clemens

Forget just standing, I think it will be confirmed

Yeah, agreed

Yankees could have used Jeffrey Maier there.
