Kersahw gives up 5 runs before recording an out and can't make it past the 1st inning. The first time in 454 total starts that Kershaw did not make it out of the first inning. His ERA in 39 post-season games is 4.49, almost exactly two runs per game higher than his career regular season ERA of 2.48. Which translates to an ERA+ of 157, the highest all-time among any pitcher with over 1,500 IP. Completely incongruous. A truly great pitcher who is awful in the post-season. As decimated as the Dodgers' pitching staff is -- Kershaw is the only one of the five projected starters at the start of the season who is still pitching, and he has arm issues himself -- they might be in a heap of trouble. |

The AL East is now 0-5 in the post-season after Baltimore's 3-2 loss to Texas. In those five games, AL East teams have scored a combined total of four runs.

What might have been. He had the look of a guy that might hit 40 HR in multiple seasons… |

He had the look of a guy that might hit 40 HR in multiple seasons… Imagine if Don Mattingly, Nick Johnson, and Greg Bird had zero health issues - like a Cal Ripken type of injury history? How many first basemen would the Yankees have avoided signing? The number must be astounding. |

Different team, same Aaron Hicks game-awareness: yanksgoyard.com/posts/orioles-manager-calling-out-aaron-hicks-after-alds-game-1-is-no-surprise-to-yankees-01hc85gbbcwz"Perhaps Hicks could've prevent that if he had ... swung at the 89 MPH strike like he was supposed to? (It was called a ball but it very clearly caught the outside part of the plate.) After the play, the cameras cut to Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, who appeared to be in disbelief. It's because Hicks didn't execute the hit-and-run like he was supposed to." "Hyde didn't exactly put Hicks on blast, but he did reveal that the slugger was the reason for the miscommunication that resulted in Henderson being thrown out and the momentum being killed after Hicks struck out." Rally killer, qu'est-ce que c'est? Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away |

The Yankees are still paying Hicks to deliver two out, two run singles with the bases loaded in the playoffs for Baltimore. Off Montgomery.

Texas won despite 5 RBIs (including a 3 run HR in the 9th) by our old friend Aaron Hicks. Go Twins! Beat those Trashtros! |

Texas won despite 5 RBIs (including a 3 run HR in the 9th) by our old friend Aaron Hicks. Go Twins! Beat those Trashtros! Corey Seager became the first player ever to walk five times in a post-season game. In his other at bat he swung at a pitch up in his eyes before going to a full count or he would have walked six times. He also walked twice in Game One. Texas is 4-0 in this post-season, with all of the wins on the road. I really wonder what is going on with Hicks. How could he change so suddenly the moment he left the Yankees? Was he just mailing it in for the Yankees so that they would get rid of him? There's something strange happening there. He isn't remotely the same player. |
