Anyone else picturing Jerry Koosman being greeted at the pearly gates by Jerry Grote just like this?

Incidentally, this needed to be a statue at Citi Field a long time ago.

RIP JERRY KOOSMAN.

An all-time great Met.

“This is the We Told You So World Series. We’ve said strikeouts will kill you. That pitchers need to throw more strikes. That you have got to run the bases better. You got to bunt. You got to hit and run. Play solid defense. You got to do all the baseball things to help you win”

If you believe in what the Brewers are doing, feel free to pick up one of these shirts from @BallNineTweet.

Batting average matters.

And you’ll never tell us differently.

The Brewers taught baseball a great lesson this October.

Playing real baseball wins. The Brewers won. Baseball won.

Boris Karloff would be proud. Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr., too.

The monsters who the aforementioned trio turned into cinematic legends nearly a century ago have recently taken on new and unique personas courtesy of artist Pat Kellner.

As the Brewers were finishing off the once Mighty Dodgers in a four-game sweep in the NLCS on Thursday night, John Smoltz said of the Brewers: “They play a different style of baseball.’’

No, they don’t.

@AMBS_Kernan tells you why.

Paging all scouts.
Ok so let’s talk “copycat league” for a minute.

I see so many people saying that their baseball teams should just “play like the Brewers”.

My question is this.

Where are you getting these players to do that? If they’ve been trained to look at hitting a certain way, how do you all of a sudden “untrain” them?

Multiple scouts have been dismissed in favor of drafting Showcase players. Is a small guy like, say, Sal Frelick even on their radar?

Where are all of these players coming from who all of a sudden “play the game the right way”?

And are MLB teams supposed to tell their players to forget what they already are trained to do?

I get the whole pendulum swinging back and forth thing, but there’s no way in hell that that’s going to show immediate dividends by forcing the pendulum in the other direction.

I get the Brewers are fun to watch. They are. And I’m pulling for them. But let’s not pretend that all of MLB can change how players play with the snap of a finger.

Fine, it was multiple questions. And insert the obligatory TED Talk line, blah blah blah.

Would love to hear some answers beyond the inevitable “You don’t know ball” nonsense.

Let me repeat what I said yesterday, something that irritated some SoCal apologists…
Guess the NL West (Dodgers & Padres) wasn’t so great after all.

SNAPSHOT: OCTOBER 12, 1926 — Babe Ruth visits young Johnny Sylvester after telling the lad he'd hit a homer for him to lift his spirits after getting kicked in the head by a horse. Ruth went above and beyond, hitting three homers in Game 4 of the '26 series against the Cardinals.
the bar pretty high - and inspired that little shit Bobby demanding that Paul O'Neill complete the same feat on the Seinfeld episode "The Wink".

On the button as usual. Great read. The impression from the outside is the team has no accountability, encourages individual expression, they’re are designed to mash bad pitching for 162 games, win 94 + one round and then lose to the first fundamentally better team every year.
The Boone-Cashman Yankees got what they deserved.

Their lack of true baseball awareness and fine-tuning caused yet the latest postseason embarrassment in what has become a long line of postseason embarrassments.

@AMBS_Kernan on why the Rays Empire is rising — and the Pinstripe Empire is once again rubble.

I guess MLB read my August 9 column @ballnine

ballnine.com/2026/08/09/154…
MLB has proposed returning to a 154-game Regular Season, best-of-seven Division Series, and opponent selection in the Wild Card and Division Series

Starting in 2029, shortening the season to a 154-game schedule would create a standard weekly off day benefiting player health, and tion of up to 8 more Postseason games by moving to a best-of-seven Division Series format

Beginning in 2027, higher-seeded clubs in the Wild Card and Division Series would select their opponents
