MLB 2021 A Sticky Situation

Did Snitker do the Tracy McGrady jinx thing by acting like 3-1 up is the time to talk like the series is over and reward your bullpen prematurely with talk of paid vacations in Hawaii?

Baseball in November for the first time since the Cheatros banged garbage cans on November 1, 2017. It’s just the sixth WS to go into the month with the AL leading 3-2 in November clinches. Only NL West teams (Arizona and SF) have gotten it done while AL Central and East (Houston, KC and NYY) nines have prevailed.

The only question after that misplayed Freeman to Fried relay was how much the Bravos would win by. Great team effort and a phenomenal run from early August when they finally climbed over .500 to winning it all. Nice moves at the trade deadline to get more offense (Soler is Series MVP!) and that bullpen was automatic until Sunday but they bounced back tonight for the close.

Maybe the only flaw…Atlanta fans on camera in The Battery ain’t got a lick of rhythm!

Helluva career.

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will announce his retirement from baseball on Thursday, according to a report from The Athletic.

Posey, 34, has played his entire 12-year career in San Francisco, helping the team with three World Series titles, in 2010, 2012 and 2014. He is the only player still on the Giants who played on all three title-winning teams.

The Giants said last month that they would exercise Posey's $22 million club option for the 2022 season as long as the veteran catcher wanted to keep playing after a stellar year.

Posey, whose contract includes a $3 million buyout, helped lead the Giants to a franchise-record 107 wins and their first NL West title since 2012 by playing regularly down the stretch as he demonstrated his health and durability.

He batted .304 with 18 homers and 56 RBIs, showing his surgically repaired right hip had finally regained full strength three years post-operation. Posey would be one of six players in the divisional era to hit .300 or better in his final MLB season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

The Rookie of the Year in 2010 and NL MVP in 2012, Posey is a lifetime .302 hitter, making him one of six catchers in major league history to start 1,000 games at catcher and have a lifetime batting average of .300 or greater (pending inclusion of Negro League statistics).

So bummed out about this. I was expecting him to play at least another 2 years and call it a career. Farhan has some moves he needs to make. IMO, Bart isn't ready to call a game (or even catch pitchers like Cueto), Bailey is still raw. Casali isn't an everyday catcher.
