@EdHand89 What doesn’t show up in the payroll numbers is how much is spent on R&D, scouting, etc…. Where some of these smaller payroll teams excel.
13 years ago, David Ortiz completely flipped the ALCS with one swing of the bat off Joaquin Benoit.
Down 5-1 in the 8th and on the verge of going down 0-2 to the Tigers… Ortiz had other plans. Torii Hunter then flipped over the bullpens and Steve Horgan became a Boston legend.
For anyone watching the Padres/Brewers game… Baseball Savant says that Ty France batted ball was a homer in one stadium … Daikin Park in Houston. Take that for whatever it’s worth.
