GDT: Wild Card round

If he was sitting changeup then why choke up on the bat tho??

 

Williams did make it very easy to hunt changeup though, since the fastball was all over the place.

 

I think the choke up is just the simplest explanation, he knew he couldn't strikeout. No matter what, no strikeout.

Double play would’ve been worse

To not get too big

 

Increase barrel control

 

That’s why players choke up

This Tobias Myers kid is a pretty amazing story. Never give up on the dream kids. I haven't read up on it, but I assume he was transformed in a pitching lab...

 

Just read that Cleveland traded for Tobias Myers in 2021. The guy they gave up? Junior Caminero. Ouch

Mets are starting Kodai Senga in Game 1. The ghostfork is back!

Should be a fun series!

At this time of the year - I think all these series are so much fun. I love finding all the nuances that make them more interesting. It will be interesting to see if the Mets crazy run continues or not.

 

I actually just noticed that JD Martinez took a nose dive in the 2nd half. Finished with a 108 wRC+ and isn't starting in the playoffs. Wonder if he's done as an impact bat or not. Could be a cheap deadcat bounce option for the Birds.

Musgrove needs TJS. Brutal blow for the Padres.

NOOOOOOOOooooooo...

The announcer said before he came up. What are they going to do with Alonzo. I said it out loud Walk him. So someone gets a hit behind him, it is still tied, but if he gets a hold of one, Milwaukee is losing.

 

And that is exactly what happened.

 

The yankee series will be very interesting. Neither Judge nor Soto should see a pitch if they come up with someone on base.
