If you're old enough to compare this play to the Jeffrey Maier play, you should schedule a colonoscopy
I have to wonder what's going on with the White Sox challenge group, because they had a long time to look at video during the Cleveland HBP challenge and they missed theirs kind of badly anyway. Did they maybe think the glove string counted?
It's a work of art, honestly
I was also curious how that one day got to 106 percent.
Both teams being over 50% at the same time makes sense, right?
It's not that. And as another person pointed out, there's a day where both teams were above 50%
If that's the case they are still wrong, because polymarket has the Padres as favorites, as do most books, and why are they showing what the Game 3 odds were a week ago? My money is on no one at all looking at this graphic at any point before it hit the broadcast
I'm assuming that the main thing happening was Fox depositing a check from Polymarket
Oh, wait, that's just a nonsense graphic not backed by any odds and unrelated to reality? Well then.
The FS1 broadcast just talked about their "series predictor" odds sponsored by Polymarket. I would like to buy the Brewers at 56% to win this series they lead 2-0, please:
Jo Adell mashing one off the wall says a lot of what I already knew about Jo Adell's power
Jo Adell giving a huge side eye/eye roll reaction to a called strike that was wayyyyyyyy in the strike zone says a lot of what I already knew about Jo Adell's sense of the strike zone
I spend a lot of my life trying to remind myself to live in the moment. But, uh, not like this
You know a strategy is quite bad when John Smoltz and I are united in disliking it
This October, from the team that brought you the blockbuster "Austin Hedges, Pinch Hitter" comes a hot new sequel: "Patrick Bailey, Pinch Hitter"
Randal Grichuk and Tommy Pham are batting second and fifth in a playoff game, in 2026. Cardinals scouts from a decade ago are pumping their fists vigorously
between flemming, deshaies, and grant I gotta say I don't think I've heard more positive talk about baseball and how exciting it is and what makes it fun. really lovely thing to hear during a broadcast.
Kendrick Lamar, Arthur C. Clarke, Vizzini, and a game for the ages. This recap (hopefully) pushes all the right buttons.
The more you know!
