Braves News: Paul Davis departs, Banana ball incoming, and more

While we await the announcement of who the Atlanta Braves will hire as their next manager, it was reported that the team has parted ways with Paul Davis, director of pitching development. 61-year-old Davis joined the Braves in 2020. During his tenure in Atlanta, he helped guide Hurston Waldrep, Spencer Strider, AJ Smith-Shawver, and more. It does not appear that this is the beginning of lots of changes for the coaching staff, and instead, just an isolated move.

How to celebrate Yankee Elimination Day

Yankee Elimination Day is finally here! With the Blue Jays defeating the Yankees in the ALDS last night, a wave of celebration and good spirits has washed over this lonely planet of ours. In light of the, uhh, not great manner in which the Red Sox were recently eliminated, the holiday is likely to prompt some bittersweet - and perhaps even reflective - emotions this year. But that doesn't mean it doesn't still have a lot to offer in terms of spirituality and fun.

Commentary: Dodgers hope a very, very rested hometown hero can pitch them into NLCS

For Glasnow, yes, but also for the Dodgers. It would eliminate the possibility of the Dodgers playing for their lives on Saturday, amid the deafening decibels of Citizens Bank Park. And it would vindicate the Dodgers' strategy of all but mothballing an elite starting pitcher for almost three weeks and then handing him the ball and asking him to win them the division series.

5 takeaways from Red Sox' season-ending press conference

"I think what I would say is that we need to figure out ways to improve the team and that could take a number of shapes," Breslow said. "Every team gets better if you can bring in a starter or develop a starting pitcher that could pitch at Garrett Crochet's level, right? "There's no running from that and we'll be as aggressive as we can in chasing that down while also ensuring that we're doing everything we can to develop our players internally."

Remember last season, around the trade deadline, when every analyst in America was calling for the Tigers to trade Tarik Skubal because their "window" wasn't open? Then they went on a run, made the playoffs, did it again the next season without trading Skubal? People have already started talking about the Pirates trading Paul Skenes. They have their own issues, but trading Paul Skenes won't solve them.

4 priorities for the Red Sox this offseason

The Red Sox ranked seventh in the majors this season in runs scored. But even with that encouraging ranking, it was evident that Boston's offense approach had some severe shortcomings - plenty of which reared their collective head in October. The return of Roman Anthony at the top of the lineup next spring will undoubtedly help a batting order that hit just .198 with six runs scored and a whopping 30 strikeouts over their three-game series against New York.

Bring back the one-game Wild Card playoff

Major League Baseball's one-game Wild Card existed for ten seasons from 2012 to 2021 (it was not used in the gross and disgusting 2020 season). In those nine seasons, the top two non-division winners in each league would face off in a one-game playoff to determine who goes on to face the number one seed in the divisional series. While not all of the eighteen Wild Card games were fantastic, many of them were.

Elimination games don't get much more tense than Yankees-Red Sox Game 2. When Ben Rice homered in the first for a 2-0 New York lead, Trevor Story responded in the top of the third with two RBI of his own. When Aaron Judge got a two-out fly ball to miss Jarren Duran's glove in the fifth, Story again tied the game with a dong just a couple of minutes later.

Red Sox News & Links: Sox have Wild Card history on their side against Yanks

For however much I hate the Yankees, I always have to give them this: their fans are great losers. I don't mean this in the traditional sense of a gracious loser, someone who says "aww shucks, we'll get 'em next time" and offers to shake your hand - no, that's milquetoast and boring and I have no time for it. I mean that - generally speaking - they don't make excuses and, instead, go all in on eviscerating their own team with a fervor even we struggle to match (see, e.g., Mike Francesa's famous post-mortem after the 2004 ALCS).
