It’s worth pointing out that grand slam off Quintana is Hernandez’s calling card, slugging .570 with 10 HRs and a .950 OPS in 150 ABs vs lefties this season. Then he tacks on two more off righties in a clincher after hitting just 1 HR in 165 ABs off righties in the regular season.

“You think the clock is your ally. You merely manage the clock. I was born in it. Confused by it. I didn’t use the run until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING. Challenges betray me, because they belong to you.”

Jerry Reese is up in an MSG luxury suite taking notes on, “how to be abysmal at your job and still not get fired.”

Honestly, the fact that there are that many people at the Garden to watch a meaningless Knicks preseason game (the Yanks are playing a playoff game not too far away from there!) is Exhibit A why James Dolan will never change a thing

of course they are gonna be rusty...melo is gone, and there’s a roster full of people who’ve never taken a shot before.

I don’t think the Giants should be exempt from the bidding war at this point.

Hopefully someone from the Jets is there watching.

I think the Jets just found their new quarterback!!!

They fucking babied him all year just to have him rested for a situation like today’s and he puked all over his shoes. I’m pretty disgusted with him.

It’s not really just about using your bullpen heavily. It’s more about using your best pitchers as much as possible because postseason baseball is very different than regular season baseball. Each game counts for much more, the hitters are usually above average (better players make better teams that make the playoffs)…

Sometimes the only way to break a curse is to face more cursed franchise. Nobody should have won that series.

...and naturally the time they did win the WS, it was against a Cleveland team.

Funny how much more ridiculous Kimbrel’s setup looks when he pipes a fastball to Reddick with the season on the line.

i fucking hate Jonah Keri’s idea because i feel like he’s building that argument on the back of atlanta’s 17 years of fuckeduppeditude and i’m certain that bobby cox would have still lost all those world series even if he’d went avery(or stanton)>glavine>maddox>smoltz every game.

Somewhere, Brian Kenny is a happy, happy man.

Pretty sure the lottery reform kicks in for 2019. Doesn’t matter. With the old Knicks regime in place, the pick will get traded for Tony Parker in a bid for the 8th seed.

it is a bullshit but apparent deadspin institutional policy that you can bring up the drafting of kristaps and not kyle wagner every single time
