2016 MLB Postseason Thread

Apparently for the Cubs now, all of them do. The top prospects of a couple of years ago are basically 11-for-12 in being useful major leaguers. Sorry Arismendy Alcántara

The smartest play in baseball is the three-run homer, to paraphrase Earl Weaver. Ben Lindburgh of the Ringer, 538, Grantland, he looked into it a few years ago and found that power teams do better in the postseason. It's still a crapshoot, but power helps.

That's why the 2009 Series was so weird. Phillies hit 11 homers in six games, lost in six. You gotta work hard at lousy pitching to do that.

Well, I can tell you I was way too wired to go right to bed after watching my team in the World Series the two previous seasons.
