How did Aaron Boone do this postseason?

@benclemens.bsky.social grades the Yankees’ manager:

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?

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:08 AM

It's not that. And as another person pointed out, there's a day where both teams were above 50%

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:07 AM

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

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:05 AM

I'm assuming that the main thing happening was Fox depositing a check from Polymarket

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:04 AM

Oh, wait, that's just a nonsense graphic not backed by any odds and unrelated to reality? Well then.

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:03 AM

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

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 11:21 PM

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

@benclemens.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 7:21 PM

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!
