World Mental Health Day. While all of our elected officials need to be checked out we will let Hillary Clinton kick things off. “So maybe there does need to be a rematch. Obviously I can beat him again.” Hmmm. OK, Hill. Just don’t bet on the Twins to win the World Series.
And take it to the limit one more time. … Efficient Yankees have watched the other three series go the full five games. Cards/Braves and Nats/Dodgers played do-or-dies on Wednesday. Astros had two chances to put the Rays away but Tampa Bay responded, winning twice at home with backs to the wall. Will Houston respond in kind? With the season on the line Gerrit Cole gets the call. He shut out the Rays for 7 ²/₃ innings in Game 2, striking out 15. For Cole just another day at the office. Astros’ bats went cold at Tampa and they will see Tyler Glasnow again. Made his postseason debut in Game 1. Didn’t shrink under the pressure but took the loss after giving up a two-run homer to Jose Altuve. Should Glasnow wilt look for Blake Snell and maybe even Charlie Morton out of the pen. Hard to envision the Astros exiting, we will back Houston for 10 units.
Tomahawked! The Cards put 10 runs on the board in the first inning and sent the Braves home for the winter. Final score was 13-1. Mike Foltynewicz was removed after getting one out. We chose wisely. Debt reduced to -459 osteens.
