Twins fan, so I can't actually "like" the White Sox, but they are a likeable exciting bunch (with the exception of that punk Tim Anderson). I watch almost all Twin games, and when they play the Sox I listen to the Chicago broadcast because Stone and the other guy are so enjoyable without being overbearing homers.
The time between these posts is all we need to know to gauge interest in baseball in this country. Makes me sad, but I'm part of the problem. I've maybe watched 20 minutes of MLB since NHL, NBA, CFB, and NFL have started back up.
He seems to have a good rapport with the players, but his postseason decision-making is awful. They should have made him an assistant gm or something and hired a better tactician.
Another rule change that a lot of people may not know about is that in extra innings, teams automatically start with a man on 2nd. And these expanded playoffs may be a permanent change (according to Manfred).
I've been enjoying both of these..
I have watched a ton of baseball since it came back. Probably 3 or 4 games a day (I have two TV's in my den) while working from home it's always on in the background. It's been great.
I think they have been good trials for this weird season and are interesting twists. I actually think moving games to 7 innings may be a way to shorten games and bring back some fans.......although it will alienate the old timers for sure.I've been enjoying both of these..
Although I will say I've been caught off guard a couple of times when I checked MLB App and saw the Twins down by 1 run going into the 7th and thinking "OK, they got a couple innings left"..
Only to open the App and hour later and see "L" 7 innings..
Being in a fantasy baseball league for sure helps with the interest. I really have not been able to get into the basketball or hockey playoffs like I usually do. For some reason it just seems blah for the games I have watched. Not like normal playoff intensity.
I like the 7 inning double headers. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the extra innings runner on 2nd is just regular season, right? As long as that's the case while I don't like it I'm not going to pick the battle. I will with expanded playoffs though. That better not happen. Not without major changes to the regular season anyway.
I watch nearly every Dodgers game. His decision-making is always awful, but over the regular season or this year's 60 games, talent wins out. In a shortened series, his poor management when it comes to pitchers and pinch hitters is more glaring, and more disastrous.
He is a terrible playoff manager. Like you said, he is fine for the regular season but his decisions in the playoffs really hurt the Dodgers and is the direct reason why they haven't won a world series the last few years. Forget about the sign stealing, it really was his game management in the playoffs.
Quite the push? They never were above .500. They aren't going anywhere. Their offense is too inconsistent. Wouldn't surprise me if they get no-hit or 1-hit in the couple of playoff games they play.
First round is in the home park of the top 4 seeds. Then I think they go to the bubble, I think?
There are no easy wins for the White Sox down the stretch......first team to clinch a playoff spot in the AL and finished 3rd in their division.....plus their bullpen has been terrible....
Was chatting with my manager yesterday during the late part of the game..
I hope they asked him about the passing of Jay Johnstone, one of baseball's great personalities from the 70s.
Braves with first postseason series win in 19 years. I never would have guessed that.
on the bold.. 
WTH was that?
