Betting The Underdog In The Playoffs Has Proven Wisely The Last 3 Years
So it started with a late rally with the 2014 AL Wild Card Game, and ever since that result, only 3 series have been won by the favorite, and now 2 more underdogs have taken 2 – 0 leads in this years postseason.
If you were a betting man and took all of the longshots, you would have made a fortune as all the 9 rounds were lost by the favorite.
2014 AL Wild card
Oakland was favored over KC and stormed out to 7 – 3 lead before imploding with a Royals running attack that feasted on Jon Lester and then the A’s Bullpen.
2014 ALDS Round
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were wiped out by Kansas City in the next round. as were the Tigers by the Orioles
2014 ALCS
Baltimore was actually favored to win the pennant, but the Royals took em out in a sweep. Read the rest of this entry

6 Non-Playoff MLB Teams Under the Most Pressure to Compete in 2017
The 2016 MLB postseason is officially in full swing as the remaining eight teams battle for the right to hoist the World Series trophy within the next few weeks. This also means that 22 other squads are already turning the page with their eyes set on making a run at October in 2017.
Every organization goes into a season with the best of intentions, but a lot can happen over 162 games – both good and bad. For a number of teams, the bad outweighed the good, which is why an invitation to play in the postseason never arrived in their respective mailboxes.
Here are six teams feeling a ton of pressure to compete and secure a spot in the playoffs next October:
Overview of Mexican and Puerto Rican Winter League Baseball
The Mexican League is well known for their creative fans who show great passion for the game. Often you get to see them dressed up as superheroes or a symbolic figure in their culture. The league is made of 2 divisions of 4 teams each. Tomateros de Culiacan were the champions last year and represented Mexico in the Caribbean Series and ended up winning it all. Mexico will be hosting “La Serie Del Caribe” which is the Caribbean Series which features the four leagues champs. Each club gets to represent their country and usually is more like a national team series since each team takes the best players in the league no matter which club they belong to.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 6, 2016
I decided to watch Game 1 of the Division Series between the Red Sox and Indians at The Dutch Goose in Menlo Park, California.
There I saw the reverse of the Tyranny of the Save, hated pinch running and met a guy from Massachusetts named Bill.

The post season has begun with two classic games and a manager blunder for the ages.
Buck Showalter lives by the motto “If you have to go down, go down with your 7th best pitcher!”
Meanwhile I entered a fold in time and space for the Connor Gillaspie homer.

Dave Dombrowski’s Offseason Splashes will Make or Break October for Boston Red Sox
On the heels of finishing in the American League East basement three times in four years, the Boston Red Sox made a big change last summer by hiring Dave Dombrowski. He arrived with a certain reputation and has lived up to it thus far.
The biggest thing on his 2016 to-do list was getting the Red Sox back into the postseason before designated hitter David Ortiz rode off into the sunset. He officially crossed that off his list about a week ago, but it’s really just the beginning.
In October once again – and mostly with players from the last front office regime – two of Dombrowski’s biggest offseason moves from last winter will be crucial pieces to the team’s success or demise.
Boston’s greatest need following a disappointing 2015 was obvious: pitching. They needed an ace at the front of the rotation and shutdown relievers at the back of the bullpen. In typical Dombrowski fashion, he made big splashes to fill those needs by trading four prospects for Craig Kimbrel and throwing a bunch of money at David Price.
Risky moves? Yes. Moves the Red Sox hadn’t made in recent years? Yes. But with a win-now mentality, they had to be made. Every acquisition comes with risk, but Kimbrel and Price were as close to slam-dunks as it could possibly be with regard to production.
Throughout their respective careers, each hurler has been a consistent force when toeing the rubber. That’s why 2016 has been frustrating for fans.
AL Wild Card Aftermath
By Josh:
So in case you don’t have cable TV and couldn’t watch the game, or refused to check Twitter, Facebook, ESPN or any other potential place for people to rant about sports, the Blue Jays won and questionable coaching by Buck Showalter may have helped. Also a stupid Toronto fan threw a beer bottle at an Orioles player.
Blue Jays fans don’t have the best reputation in baseball and it is unfortunate that one fan can make an entire fan base look bad but that is what will happen. It isn’t the first time fans in Toronto have thrown things onto the field and right or wrong that fan base has earned its reputation as one of the worst in terms of respecting the field and the players on the field.

From October 4th. AL Wild Card Game:
Receiving 1 WOO’s
Edwin Encarnacion reached twice and won the Wild Card Game with a 3 run walk off homer in the bottom of the 11th inning, pushing Toronto past Baltimore, 5-2.
Marcus Stroman held Baltimore to 4 hits and 2 runs while walking none over 6 strong innings. He would not get the decision but helped set up the Blue Jays dramatic 5-2 extra inning Wild Card win.
Receiving 1/2 WOO’s
Mark Trumbo launched a 2 run homer that put the Orioles ahead. The Blue Jays would tie the game and ultimately win in 11, 5-2.
Darren O’Day got the call from the pen and answered big time. He threw 1 2/3 innings, not allowing a hit or a base runner with each pitch potentially ending the Orioles season. He survived but his team did not, dropping the game to Toronto, 5-2 in 11.

That’s the season and the final tally. Who Owns Baseball is over for the year and these are the four who finished with the highest totals.
FREDDIE FREEMAN edged Nolan Arenado as the National League hitter.
JOSE FERNANDEZ posthumously owned as the National League pitcher, astonishingly 1/2 ahead of Clayton Kershaw.
MIGUEL CABRERA topped Betts and Trout to earn the top total for American League hitters.
COREY KLUBER ran away with the American League pitcher total with Chris Sale a distance second.
Phew. Another year of this tally. Until next year…

Wild Card Breakdown
By Josh:
The introduction of the one game Wild Card game has been something that I have enjoyed and appreciated from the moment it was announced. I know there are people who don’t like it because a single game doesn’t always put the ‘best’ team into the division series. My thought is that if a team didn’t win their division, having to play a single winner take all game is a great thing. It both gives them a chance to move on, while also penalizing them for not winning their division.
Enough of my thoughts on the Wild Card set up and time to focus on the two games themselves.

The post season is about to begin. And with that comes my futile attempt at predictions. This year, I dutifully made my picks.

Josh’s Playoff Predictions
The playoffs are here and if the end of the season is an example of what we have coming this year, I am excited. Once again my favorite team, the Seattle Mariners, failed to make the playoffs but they were in it until game 161, so although I’m disappointed they didn’t make it, being in it until the end is better than normal for the M’s.
Enough with my favorite team, time to talk about who I think is going to win it all this year, starting with the Wild Card Games.

I mentioned each year the Red Sox made the post season that we remember watching and we each said our first memories of that team.
Some memories were silly. Some were poignant. All were honest and from the heart… or from the HAHHHHT in New England.

Thank You Vin For That
By: Kelly
When Vin Scully first announced that 2016 would be his last year I knew I would be sad but the emotions I have felt over the past few days is much more than I thought I would feel. I’ve thought about writing this post the past couple of weeks but every time I start I get overwhelmed with emotions. Vin is the voice of my childhood, he is the soundtrack of my childhood. Even ‘til this day whenever I hear his voice I think of my childhood, for the good and the bad. I would like to share a few memories with you about my childhood.

Jair Bogaerts: Former Boston Red Sox Prospect Talks Baseball and Brother Xander
In shortstop Xander Bogaerts, the Boston Red Sox have one of the most exciting young players in baseball. The native of Aruba has blossomed into a true star, showing five-tool talent and still clocking in at the tender age of 24. Although some fans may not realize it, not that long ago, the team was fortunate enough to have two Bogaerts in their organization, with Xander’s (fraternal) twin brother Jair making up the other half of the tandem.
