I wonder if the Braves will spend more Spring Training time on baserunning next year...

They'd better. I haven't seen base running like that since AA Little League!

They should probably make old Benny Hill clips off-limits, too.
It's going to be interesting to hear how the players feel about the Series once it's over. While there are no true home games there's also no travel and therefore no time zone changes - a big deal this year since there's a 3-hour difference between LA and Tampa. In a full season with spring training, 162 games and the postseason that can make a difference at the end of the year.

Brett's World! Brett's World! Party time! Excellent!

He's got a cannon of an arm, though. Try to run on him and he'll have the last laugh:

The Brewers promoted the promising outfield prospect Monday and, in doing so, brought baseball's best laugh to Milwaukee.

IMO Arozarena didn't get enough playing time with the Cards to see his true potential.
Ozuna seems to have found his bat with the Braves.
Haven't watched any games once my team lost out, only had teams to root against, like the Yankees, Braves, Astros, and Dodgers. Hope the Rays take it all.

During one of the playoff broadcasts either Ken Rosenthal or Tom Verducci provided a little background on Arozarena, saying that the Cardinals viewed him, Harrison Bader and Tyler O'Neill as pretty much identical. Hopefully he turns out to be the best of the 3 and the Cards regret trading him for years to come.

That's not nice, Brad.
The one we really hated to see go with the trade was José Martinez.

OK, you just made my day with those laughing videos. Hysterical!

Gee, I wonder what today's big topic on Tampa sports radio will be...

Turner is an idiot.
Hope no one dies from his stupidity.

Absolutely unbelievable, especially considering what the 2020 season was like. I caught the tail end of a show on ESPN Radio (I think) this afternoon and one of the hosts suggested that Turner be suspended for the entire 2021 season.
What complicates things, though, is that the rest of the team apparently wanted him on the field for the celebration.

The fact that he was ever in the stadium in the first place is beyond my comprehension. I would expect near daily testing of these guys - particularly before they get into a team bus or in the stadium or locker room. It seems to me that MLB got through this season on dumb luck.

Tony La Russa named White Sox manager
CHICAGO -- Tony La Russa enjoyed the opportunities to view baseball from “upstairs” while working for Major League Baseball and during stints in the front offices of the D-backs, Red Sox and Angels since 2012. But it became increasingly difficult for La Russa to continue thinking about what was...

Scrolling around Netflix the other day I ran across Moneyball.
I knew what it was about, and that it had good reviews when it came out, but had never seen it. Pretty good, I'll give it a solid 3.5 stars.
I don't care much for sports flicks, Slap Shot did get watched a couple of times though.

I'm thinking Death didn't try to sneak a fastball by him. The exit velocity would've been embarrassing.
