    I had no expectations for this season. I want to beat the self proclaimed biggest and the baddest.

    So watching major league as in a baseball mood. The premise that moving the team to Miami to increase attendance looks unrealistic in hindsight...among other things in the film.

    "That's" the unrealistic part of the movie that you're fixating on?

    Semien's long fly out that was caught by Tucker had at least 100 mph exit velocity. That was a home run in many ball parks and reading all the A's post, they all thought it was a home run. Guess what happened nature cheated for us and brought the ball back.

    That...also, it is hard seeing Dennis Haysbert as a Cuban after his role as the President and the All-State guy.

    I was thinking of the same thing. Cole won’t pitched until game 4 if Yankees win.

    Again missed today's game because of work. Maybe I shouldn't watch ANY games, even if possible, to allow them to capture their 2nd World Series.

    It really depends on whether they both start Game 5 on 4 day of rest, or they use them as "long relief" once they get a lead.

    A 2 relief inning stint may not do much to push them back past say Game 2. Longer relief stint probably makes its Game 3.

    You don’t want to see the deleted scene... where it turns out she pulled a Luhnow and painstakingly scouted these special players who were castoffs, and knew that there was potential, and pretended to be the villain to motivate them.

    It didnt’ do well with test audiences and it was rightly deleted. You can still see it on YouTube though...

    They’ll be on 3 days rest tomorrow. If they want to give them full rest, they don’t pitch till game 4... but then likely unavailable for another game that series unless they go on 2 days rest.

    More likely they go 3 days rest tomorrow, 3 days rest for game 3, which would mean 3 days rest for game 7 (if necessary).

    ****, I will even settle for signing La Stella and let him play 3rd and have Bregman in center if we are losing Springer and Bregman is really as good in the outfield as they say.

    It’ll be night... no other competing games to go against (NL starts Monday).
