There’s been a lot of moving and shaking in the offseason. Big pieces moving elsewhere as the juggernauts load up and those that have shed look to reallocate pieces and overcome issues throughout their roster especially in the NL. This is going to be a bloodbath of a season no matter who appears to be the predictable favorites on paper. Anyways let the games begin1

Out of all of the four major sports, baseball appears to be the most unpredictable. Thats what you get after a bizarre 2023 season. I expect that this season will be more of the same even if the bigger markets catch on to the new rules.

Deus ex machina is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence. Its function is generally to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or to act as a comedic device. In baseball, there has been a lot of that this postseason. The two teams that have made it this far have done just that. Time to recap this crazy postseason before we get to the Fall Classic.

I’m not in the mood for Charm City Beasts this week. Not after what has happened since Saturday. I never thought anything would be as devastating as the 2019 Ravens playoff exit. Well, the Orioles said “Hold My Beer” Baltimore is cursed, isn’t it?

October Baseball is always a fun time of the year, and now that the new rules have come into play, the games should be much more exciting. 12 teams enter and only one of them leaves as the champion. HERE WE GO NOW!

Superteam Expectations eh? Not in baseball this year. ESPN.com said it best. This season has been chaotic from top to bottom. The trade deadline for the first time in a while wasn’t as chaotic as the season itself. But there are plenty of storylines to go over right now.

The NL has been Crazy Land all season and honestly I can’t figure out who is the favorite to be the challenger to the Braves. As I’ve said, the competitive balance is excellent for baseball, because teams with no hope finally have life. The Senior Circuit is proof of that too.

Baseball has done itself a huge favor this year. Everything that fans have been complaining about over the past few years has been fixed. The competitive balance of big and small market teams has come back into play, and it’s great for the game. The AL is an example of that depending on who you ask.
