#Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong tied for the NL lead with 45 home runs & played the best centerfield in the league winning a Gold Glove for his efforts. His bWAR was 9.8 for the 2026 season which is the 67th best seasons in MLB history. He's a lock for the NL MVP!

Arizona #Dbacks Gabriel Moreno won the 2026 NL batting title & the Gold Glove at catcher. He won't get a sniff at NL MVP this year. But what would it have taken for him to be closer in people's minds than is the case?

The Brewers won their first World Series with just 154 regular-season home runs. Did Milwaukee reveal a new blueprint for winning—or is this a one-year exception?

"This is forever." New column: The Brewers did more than just win the World Series. It was how they won - squashing everyone in their path in a way we've never seen before. Somebody had to put all that dominance in perspective. I volunteered! nytimes.com/athletic/7733262…

Thankfully there will not be any World Series games this November. World Series date creep is a real thing. The earliest and latest ending WS. Read my latest post: almostcooperstown.substack.c… @IBWAA @sabr @threeinningfan @KallmanJeff @JeffCohen41 @writerstevens

Playoff teams apparently don't trust their own starting pitchers - except for the #dodgers. Are you tired of watching openers pitch to begin critical playoff games? Even if it makes sense it's....meh. A short from out podcast this week.

Do #Mets fans like me feel that it's ordained that their former starter & now #Rays starter Freddy Peralta will pitch against his former team the #Brewers in this year's World Series?

Dombrowski: The Phillies hired former Mets manager Carlos Mendoza as third-base and infield coach. They’ve also re-signed lefty Tim Mayza to a one-year deal.
