Rays' analytics staff is better at positioning (scouting!), getting pitchers to trust their stuff and use it right, and unearthing athletes like Simpson. Diaz and Caminero buy into level swings.

BASEBALL MIGHT BE GETTING THE WORLD SERIES IT NEEDS MOST!

At a time when analytics have practically taken over the game and a potential lockout is looming, the Rays and Brewers might be reminding baseball of something we’ve forgotten.

HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY WINNING BASEBALL!

Pitching. Defense. Speed. Contact. Smart baserunning. Timely power. EXECUTION!

Forget chasing superstars just because they’re superstars. GO FIND SUPERSTARS WHO KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME!

Two organizations proving that sometimes the best way forward is BACK TO BASICS!

Maybe this World Series is bigger than a championship. Maybe it’s a reminder of what baseball has been missing.

And for once, I genuinely have NO IDEA who I’m picking!

Rays fans, Brewers fans… SELL ME ON YOUR SQUAD!

Convince me why YOUR team wins it all.

BEST ARGUMENT GETS MY PICK!

Looks normal. They're pros. Joe might be forcing the excitement a hair.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman back together one week after their alleged tension became public.

Body-language experts, go ahead...

Step right up, Hornets.

Course, Spurs-Suns H2H against PSG-Barcelona might not end well for NBC and Peacock.

[Tom Gatto @SportsGatt]

3 o'clock on a non-holiday Tuesday. If you want to distract the Euro audience during Champions League, then schedule the Spurs or Lakers there.

[NBA on NBC and Peacock @NBAonNBC]

The NBA tips off with a historic triple-header! The Celtics face the Pistons, the defending champion Knicks host the Sixers, and the Thunder battle the Spurs. Watch Tuesday on NBC and Peacock.

Georgia-Auburn also today, in fact.

[Tom Gatto @SportsGatt]

Bama and Tennessee will renew their Third Saturday in October rivalry today. Good reminder of college football's essence: regional rivalries. Iron Bowl, Cocktail Party, Oldest Rivalry, Egg Bowl, Beer Barrel. That's how this Yankee learned SEC football.

Is the White House running a temp agency? Get back to the podium, Marco! We just lost another press secretary!

The CFP made the money grab and expanded to 24 schools. Four or five of the 12 added berths ought to go to G6 conference champs. I know, never gonna happen. Mismatches, no one cares, yada yada. But all of the FBS should get a seat. Otherwise, cut the G6 loose.

[Tom Gatto @SportsGatt]

Also, why in the booth and not privately?

[Tom Gatto @SportsGatt]

The longer this goes on, the greater the chances Aikman jabs Buck on-air. And then the content beast will really eat.

[Ryan Glasspiegel @sportsrapport]

Glass Break: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman have had tension after Buck got a new ESPN deal and Aikman hasn't gotten a formal offer.

Buck "broke the ice" on the unspoken tension and the two had an argument in MNF announce booth this week, sources said

I dunno, maybe double the social and sales staff instead of making the PBP person work like they're back in the low minors.

Worst quarter ever for Mark Andrews? Drop on the goal line and then a fumble returned for a TD.

[Tom Gatto @SportsGatt]

Not anymore.

Chargers bettors thank Sean Payton for not having that killer instinct. LAC +3.5 still looks OK.

Brady's latest team gets blown out by his first team in his old stadium. Hate to see it, even if it's the Pats doing the blowing-out.

[Tom Gatto @SportsGatt]

I love very little of it ‐-- only the reduction to 154. Streamlined scheduling, I could accept over time.
