If not the Twins, I would love to see Cleveland get a WS victory.

Seems to me a few pointed out here that the M&M window wouldn't be open forever. Twins management didn't take it to heart then Will they take it to heart with young players like Sano, Buxton, Kepler, Rosario, Berrios, etc. There is absolutely no urgency to win with the Pohlad boys. Their only urgency is to make money. Sure wish Eloise was still alive.

My goodness. As good as the Dodgers looked a month ago, the Indians look like a bigger and better monster.

Indians are amazing. What they have done and continue to do....... I sure hope they have some losses in them when they play the Twins late in Sept.

Giants and Dodgers played until 5 am [:-][:-][:-] That'd be fun on one of my overnights. Hope we have one some night.

More Cleveland stuff A few nuggets, with research help from my friends at ESPN Stats & Information: ▪ The shutout was the largest ever to extend a winning streak of 15 or more games. ▪ The 19-game streak is tied for fourth-longest of the modern era (since 1900), but the Indians have a larger run differential than any of those other streaks. ▪ With a plus-100 run differential, the Indians became just the fourth team of the modern era with that large of a differential over 19 games: (1) 1939 Yankees, +130; (2) 1933 Senators, +104; (3) 1904 Giants, +103; (4) 2017 Indians, +100. The second-largest differential this season for a 19-game stretch is plus-68 by the Dodgers. ▪ The Indians have allowed just 32 runs in 19 games (1.68 per game). They've hit 38 home runs. ▪ They've trailed at the end of an inning just four times out of 171 innings (it helps that they've scored first in 18 of the 19 games). ▪ They lead the majors with 18 shutouts; next-most in the AL are the Twins and Orioles with 10. ▪ Lindor, who hit a bases-loaded triple in the second inning, is now hitting .365/.434/.770 with 17 runs and 18 RBIs during the streak. ▪ Carrasco has allowed zero runs or one run in six of his past seven starts.

MLB's Opening Day 2018 will be different than ever before Major League Baseball released its 2018 schedule Tuesday and normally that’s not super exciting unless you’re planning a summer road trip or eager to see which interleague games are heading your way. But schedule-announcement day was interesting this time, because baseball is in for one big change next season that ought to have fans talking. Opening Day is moving to a Thursday and it’s earlier in the season than ever before — March 29. Gone is the season starting with a Sunday night game on ESPN. Gone is Monday being “Opening Day” for most teams. And gone is baseball starting in April. This season the first game was on April 2 and most teams started on April 3. In recent years, the season has started as late as April 6. This change, as MLB announced, is part of the new collective bargaining agreement between the league and the player’s union, which will ultimately give players more off days throughout the season: “ The 2018 season will mark the first under the new scheduling format agreed to as part of the 2017-2021 Basic Agreement between MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). The new format extends the length of the season by adding an additional weekend of play at the beginning of the season. Each Club will receive three to four additional off days spread throughout the season to provide additional rest and opportunities for rescheduling. As a result, the March 29th start date to the regular season will mark the earliest Opening Day in Major League history, excluding special season-openers at international venues. The earliest opening date for a season at traditional Major League ballparks was previously March 30th, when the 2003, 2008 and 2014 seasons began. Another change for 2018: All 30 teams are playing on Opening Day. That seems like a no-brainer, but it’s actually not common at all. The last time every MLB team played on Opening Day is 1968. And there were only 20 teams at that point. The season begins the Thursday before Easter, and six teams will have Easter Sunday off, which is an odd baseball occurrence. Twelve teams will have Friday, March 30 off, which isn’t common either. The season will wind down at its usual time. The last day of regular season play is scheduled for Sept. 30.

The SMF Master Plan to re-arrange the entire MLB schedule is starting to show signs of life ............ I'll be hosting a PowerPoint presentation later for those interested.

Will this include a reduction in the number of games.......from 162 to 154? Of course, it is absolutely imperative to have a 162 game schedule to make sure only the very best are in the playoffs.

So now they can start work on Moneyball II starring Adrien Brody as Chris Antonetti, David Schwimmer as Mike Chernoff and Jonah Hill as Derek Falvey.

One of the funnest games I've been to in 2002 when Radke ended the A's 20 game win streak.

Fun one so far Frustrations are boiling over for the Tigers, Feeling that Buck Farmer has been getting squeezed, catcher James McCann and then manager Brad Ausmus were ejected by home-plate ump Quinn Wolcott. Backup catcher John Hicks then "missed" a pitch that hit Wolcott in the shoulder. Yandy Diaz then just missed the knockout punch, lining out to left field with the bases loaded and two outs. Indians are catching a break with this streak They're using it for motivation down the stretch They are playing it out like they need each game It'll help them Some teams went into coast mode and that's hard to come back from.
