Great job, Bregman!

Springer has a great at bat, takes a bunch of pitches and gets a fat one. Bregman swings at the first slop he sees and pops to shortstop.

It was Reddick. He was trying to pull it and was late.

That's just what they're expecting us to do!

You'll find out who's hitting when they come up.

McCann (edit: no, Gattis. The right handed one.) just missed a HR foul, then popped out by the dugout. I believe Yuli struck out but my connection dropped.

Gordon leads off by getting hit in the foot.

That was actually the other McCann that hit the long foul. I think he goes by Gattis sometimes.

One of my favorite baseball quotations came at the end of the, I can't remember, 2009 or '10 season or something, when the Mets had had a massive division lead all year only to blow it at the end and miss out entirely on the playoffs. A fan filing out of the stadium after the final catastrophe was quoted in the Times as saying, "It makes you feel stupid for being happy all year."

I'm trying not to get too far away from that memory right now.

Today Robert Ford said that three of the last four teams to win 28 of their first 40 went on to win the WS.
