And somehow the Yankees haven't fired Boone yet.

How can such a short throw be that far off line?

It's unbelievable. And how could you forget how many outs there are with 2 outs in the bottom of the 11th?

Speaking of analytics, the stat nerds probably agree with the decision to intentionally walk Ohtani in the 8th innings, but I think that is where the Phillies blew a great opportunity to win. Ohtani has looked like absolute ass at the plate this series, and he hasn't had a clutch hit in the playoffs -- ever. Instead, you pitch to Mookie Betts, who is definitely a clutch hitter. Doesn't make sense to me.

To the top of the 15h. Taking out a dominant Skubal after only 6 may cost the Tigers a trip to the next round.

What a game! The commentators were saying that Skubal takes himself out of games when he feels he's out of gas.

Great win for Seattle and their long suffering fans.

Now THAT was playoff baseball! I had no rooting interest in Seattle/Det so it
was simply fun to watch. What a game! Trent King

Now that the Red Sox and Tigers are out, and the Yankees have joined them on the golf course for the winter, I don't have a particular preference who wins it all, though I guess it would be nice for one of the teams who hasn't won it yet to pull through.
