If the Rays wanted to make a deep run this October, Yandy Díaz swinging the bat well would be a big part of it. Díaz hasn't just swung the bat well; he’s been the best hitter on the team this postseason. Read➡️runningfromtheops.substack.c…

Nathan Flewelling collected a hit and a walk in yesterday's contest, and his RBI single left the bat at 108 mph. He's the DH today and hitting 2nd. A look at what he's done so far in the AFL (limited action):

The Brewers swung at just 26.6% of pitches outside the zone this season, the lowest mark in baseball, which led to MLB's highest BB% (10.6%). Rays pitching had the lowest BB% (6.9%), the 2nd-highest Chase% (32.5%), and the 3rd-highest Zone% (48.7%). Should be a lot of fun.

Golden leaves are littering the ground; you know what that means, it’s time for the Fall Classic. I wrote about the upcoming matchup for FBC Reports. READ: fbcreports.com/post/welcome-…

Since the World Series became best-of-seven in 1922, teams that win four games are 103-0. My advice: win four games. Preferably before the other team does.

Super random, but I found former Ray Francisco Mejía hitting a walk-off grand slam off former Ray Jeffrey Springs.

Rays vs. Brewers in the regular season. The Rays allowed the fewest walks in baseball, and the Brewers drew the 2nd most. Both teams tied for the MLB lead in AVG (.258) and were top-6 offenses. Stats matter less in the postseason, but I think it's fun to see how they compare.

Yandy Díaz's 12 hits tied Carlos Peña (2008) for the 5th-most by a Rays hitter in a single postseason before reaching the World Series. His 2026 postseason: 12-for-39 .308/.341/.564 .388 wOBA | 151 wRC+ 2 HR | 4 2B Of his 12 hits, his 12th was certainly the sweetest.
