    Plus I hate to say it, but if it is the CWS, Urquidy may not be able to start. They have crushed lefty starters in 2020.

    Valdez? Or is this a joke because Urquidy pitches like a lefty?

    The guys got it done when it counted most. The pitching staff deserves extra credit. Keeping the opponent to 1 run both games is as much as Cole/Verlander with a healthy bullpen could have been expected to do. And we did it without any of them.

    The next challenge (Dodgers) will ask even more of our guys. Soooooo want the Dodgers to suck ****! Beating them might do more to squelch the haters than anything (except Dodger fans who would hate us even more).

    Are they alternating home and away teams for this round or is the higher seed home for all games in ALDS?

    I cannot find it specified anywhere, but they have to alternate home team (last at bat) like they normally do (2-2-1 and 2-3-2). Having last at bat every game of a 5 or 7 game series is too much of an advantage.
