A reseed to get Minnesota or Toronto. It sucks that the 1 seed gets locked into playing the best teams possible.

Let’s clinch!

I missed out on seeing him, but he became one of those guys I loved just from second-hand stories, which arguably says even more about him.

Important win. Going from the Houston series to the west coast against a hot team without an off day had the potential to spiral downward a bit.

Given that Kevin already does work for ESPN, I wonder if Angelos was trying to flex some authority not realizing that he’s probably just expediting the inevitable.

Ober’s profile is interesting. Fastball velocity comes in the bottom 20% in the league averaging around 91mph, but tails a good bit, then his changeup comes in at 83 with similar movement that drops off. Good command and hard hit percentage, but in the bottom third of the league for barrells, expected slugging and ISO. So that points to: lots of strikes and good movement, but bad breaking stuff that gets left over the middle?
