Genuinely crazy how out of nowhere this came but long live the longball

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

The 2026 Brewers right now in the NLCS are running the highest three true outcome rate (47%) of any LCS since the series began in 1969.

If you think I find this delightfully entertaining, I do.

Chourio and Contreras have the chance to win a WBC and a World Series in the same year

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

Crazy to think that’s their first Pennant in the National League.

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

MLB Twitter spent the entire season talking about the Brewers’ BABIP luck and it was an October power surge that carried them to the World Series. Baseball is a funny little game.

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

Nuke the organization

[Gino Hard @GinoHard_]

The Philadelphia Flyers have dropped their 9TH GAME IN A ROW (0-6-3) to start the season 😵

And they've scored just 11 goals in those 9 games. It's getting UGLY in Philly 🤐

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

You have to fire him, you just have to.

No one knows what market size is

[BC @BC10359877]

@CoreyB08 Boston is not a big market. LA, New york, bay area and miami are the big market teams.

Radio intermission guy is already running the “we’re only four points out of the playoffs” gimmick

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

Jake Bauers is just stupidly locked in

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

@repTILLYan That’s just objectively incorrect. Where did you get that information?

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

@ARKNDJL Is not so much about the viewing figures as it is that I believe fans should have the opportunity to watch their team

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

@Joe_Marchione We don’t know when Miller will be ready and you’d probably prefer to keep Stott away from short if you can help it

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

I get trying to squeeze as much run at short as you possibly can from him (even if it’s a bit sunk cost) but don’t love the idea of being in a state of flux going into the season. Like you don’t really know what you need this winter when you don’t know whether you have a ss.

[Todd Zolecki @ToddZolecki]

Dave Dombrowski said he plans to have Trea Turner open the season at SS, but he told him personally that he must play well there to stay there.

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

That shouldn’t be too much of an issue. Pretty sure it’s common for athletes to steadily improve every season as they get closer to their 40s. Especially when they play a physically demanding position.

[John Clark @JClarkNBCS]

JT Realmuto told Dave Dombrowski he needs to get better offensively.

JT Realmuto told Dave Dombrowski he feels more mentally drained with all of the added responsibilities. JT feels good physically.

JT could possibly play some first base as well.

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

When 2 or 4 or 8 teams made the Postseason not only were there fewer games in a single Postseason but a given team was (in theory) making the playoffs far less often. There was incentive for fans to make sacrifices to ensure they could get to games. Not the case anymore.

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

There’s a really obvious culprit for complacency in the Postseason and it’s oversaturation. There’s an uncomfortable reality that fans don’t want to acknowledge which is that in most markets there’s a limit to the elasticity of demand for Postseason baseball.

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

@Joey_N_LA This wasn’t even meant to be an insult to you I’m just using your tweet to make a point

[Freedom (Dead October) @TocchetOut]

“We can’t fill our seats because we’re not winning enough, we can’t fill our seats because we’re winning too much. The start time sucks, the stadium is too far away, sports are too expensive, it’s too hot, it’s too cold, it’s too rainy, it’s too sunny” please shut up

[Joey @Joey_N_LA]

As a Dodger fan sitting on my couch, here’s my perspective about the empty seats

13th postseason in a row
9th LCS appearance in the same time frame
5 WS appearances

“You see we CAN’T support our shitty team because…um…um…uh…NIL and shit”

[Ralph D. Russo @ralphDrussoATH]

Went to Penn State to find out the story behind the empty seats.
Found a fanbase grappling with the new reality of college sports - and the cost of chasing championships.

Thanks to everyone who spoke with me.

I’ve long held the opinion that the FBS was the American sports organization most in need of a large playoff due to the short season and logistical impossibility of having every elite team play in the regular season but this is ridiculous even for me

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, per sources. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

Can we forfeit the rest of the season?

Breaking: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday due to a superficial blood clot.

Full statement from the #Eagles on QB Jalen Hurts:

“On Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf. He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practice report.

“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia. 

“Jalen played without limitation in the game Sunday, received treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and practiced in full on Wednesday, as reflected in the practice report. Throughout our time in London and this week, we have remained in communication with the league office regarding the matter.  

"On Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot. Jalen will be out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment. His health and safety are our highest priority.”
