I think these are the postseason qualifying scenarios today: Guardians and Tigers: A win or a HOU loss and they're in. Reds: A win and a NYM loss and they're in. Lots else also up for grabs in terms of division titles/seeding/home field advantage.

The AL East is tied. The AL Central is tied. The last NL WC spot is tied. The last AL WC spot is tied, if HOU hangs onto the W tonight. So cool. So, so cool. Let's do a baseball weekend.

Emilio Pagán earned his 31st save, second most in the NL.

Elly De La Cruz throws are metal 🤘

Youth basketball is wild. It’s nuts how young kids shoot at a 10-foot-tall hoop. It’d be like starting lil jammers out pitching from 60-feet, 6-inches.

Feels so good to have my work in print again. I’ll be doing freelance work for the Pioneer Press covering a lot of sports this winter. Stay tuned for more.

Noelvi Marte with about as clutch a game-saving (season-saving?) catch as you'll see in this postseason race If the Reds make the playoffs, they'll revisit this often in Cincinnati.

On AL MVP, a way I’d frame it is Aaron Judge is on a historic run but there’s not anything particularly historic about his 2025. Amazing year, an MVP in most seasons, but not historic. Cal Raleigh is doing things no catcher has EVER done!

I managed to come away with a lot of fond memories at Target Field from 2016, despite the terrible baseball team.

I bet Cody Laweryson has a piece of the Aggro Crag because he has GUTS. IYKYK

Jorge Polanco is among my all-time favs and I am most definitely on the M's bandwagon. I miss that dude, and would love to see him win a ring.

🚨CHRISTIAN VAZQUEZ STOLEN BASE 🚨

Bunt single Sac bunt, reach on throwing error Infield single (66 mph exit velo) Wild pitch Strikeout Balk Groundout Strikeout = 3 runs!?!?!? Account for the devil magic and the math works out perfectly.

Some ultimate Guardians ball offense going on in this game. Their devil magic even works against Skubal. They are inevitable.

Myths to dispel about the ABS system. Myth: It will make games longer Myth: Catcher framing is now obsolete Myth: Full ABS is now right around the corner. That and more here: www.baseballamerica.com/stories/11-t...

What an incredibly stupid timeline to have to live through.

I used to be on team full automation, but I’ve grown to appreciate the challenge system instead. I still don’t think the automated zone is perfected, but it’s close enough to be used basically in “case of emergency” like this system allows.

Gabriel Gonzalez would’ve been my choice for Twins MiLB player of the year, but Kaelen Culpepper is a fine choice. With Kala’i Rosario and Kyler Fedko also worthy, there was no shortage of candidates. The pitching side was a completely different story. I went with John Klein on my TD ballot.

The Twins announced shortstop Kaelen Culpepper is their minor league player of the year and lefty Connor Prielipp is their MiLB pitcher of the year.

I don’t have high expectations for the 2026 Twins, but I demand the org at least find a player who is both very entertaining and easy to root for. I need an Eduardo Escobar-type player back on this team. I think every fanbase suffering through a downturn deserves a guy like that.

Unc about to bring the house down

Filled in for @matthewhleach.bsky.social for game 2 of the #MNTwins doubleheader tonight. Pablo López's season is officially done. The good news is it's only a mild forearm strain, and he will be able to have a normal off-season routine. Hear what he had to say here. www.mlb.com/twins/news/p...

Connor Prielipp not only made it through the season healthy, he closed things out by pitching deeper into a game than he ever had in pro ball. #twins #minnesota #mntwins

Connor Prielipp is pitching in the sixth inning for the first time in his pro career.

I guess they only ever said “don’t tread on me.” Left the door open for them to tread all the fuck over everybody else.

One of these is Luke Keaschall. The other is ... Austin Martin.

The Kernels lost last night, ending their season as runner-up in the Midwest League. At least their media relations/play-by-play man Calvin Christoforo didn’t lose his sense of humor. I giggled at this note regarding next season’s opener.

What can you even say at this point? @danhayesmlb.bsky.social reports the Twins eliminated their entire four-person pro scouting department in a cost-cutting move. That includes John Manuel, who joined the Twins after being editor-in-chief of Baseball America. www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

GO KERNELS 🌽
