Pittsburgh won 98 games in 2015, the second best record in baseball, and all it bought them was one game against Jake Arrieta. Arrieta threw a complete game shutout at PNC Park, struck out 11, walked nobody, and the Cubs won 4 to 0. The year before, the Pirates' Wild Card game was against Madison Bumgarner, and he shut them out too. Two straight Octobers that lasted exactly one night. Which team's October luck bothers you most?

David Clyde went first overall to the Rangers in June 1973, an 18 year old lefty out of a Houston high school. About three weeks later he was starting in the big leagues. He struck out eight in his debut, got the win, and drew the first sellout in Arlington Stadium history. By 1979 he'd thrown his last major league pitch, with 18 career wins. Texas hasn't picked first since. Seven teams, the Dodgers, Giants and Cardinals among them, never have. When did your team last pick first overall?

The Steelers are 5-2 and on top of the Division. Let's look at their remaining schedule and see if they are a playoff team: Falcons (home) W 20–13 Patriots (away) L 3–20 Bengals (home) W 30–27 Browns (away) L 24–27 Colts (home) W 34–22 Buccaneers (away) W 26–19 (OT) Saints (Paris) W 16–10 Browns (home) - W (Steelers don't lose to the Browns at home) BYE WEEK Bengals (away) - L (Bengals at home, Steelers typically out of sync after a bye, give the Bungles the win) Eagles (away) - W (Hurts out, Barkley hurt, Brown hurt, their line is a mess. Steelers get their 1st win in Philly since 1965) Broncos (home) - W (Nix looks bad, but their D is good. This is gonna be a 10-6 win) Texans (home) - L (Annual stinker game we are supposed to win, but lose) Jaguars (away) - L (Jags are humming & Lawrence is playing great. Tuff road game) Ravens (home) - W (Jackson can't stay healthy and the Steelers own the Ravens) Panthers (home) - W (Not a good team, but has a decent record because their division is so bad. Steelers win) Titans (away) - W (This team is just bad) Ravens (away) - W (Steelers are 8-2 vs the Ravens in the last 5 years with 3 sweeps. The Steelers sweep again) Final Record 12-5, back to back division champs.

"Look up 'idiot' in the dictionary, you know what you'll find?" "A picture of me?" "No! The definition of the word 'idiot', which you fucking are!"😭

Sucks to always be right. Ump wanted to hear a crowd roar “due to him”, that’s all that was about. Some BS.

Just a blatant false start by Dawand Jones on the most important play of the game. Awful by the refs.

This is how replay review would’ve looked if MLB allowed you to challenge a check swing (which they 100% should). As I said… it’s very clearly not a swing.

We are 2 losses away from being the buffalo bills of baseball 😭

I feel dead inside. #ForTampaBay

Like an umpire once said to a catcher disputing a ball/strike call on Ted Williams: “if it had been a strike, Mr. Williams would have swung.” Bring back normalizing good hitters getting special treatment. “If Mr. Diaz wanted to check his swing, he checked his swing.”

First off, he’s definitely NOT swinging at that ball. Second, the overhead view distorts the perspective terribly. And third, you can’t end a World Series game on a call like that.

I'm not sure I've ever heard a "neutral" play-by-play announcer editorialize so blatantly like this. Yes, it was a bad call but can you really think there won't be issues automating the judgement of CHECK SWINGS?! lol

Optical illusion because he pulled the bat up. The angle from the side is clear as day that this was a terrible call

Most consecutive scoreless innings to begin a postseason 2016 Andrew Miller  16.0 2026 Aaron Ashby   15.2

Kevin Cash's bullpen decisions in these first two games seem strange. Leaving Kelly in too long here. Matz warming second day in a row. Keeps going to Seymour who has been rough as a reliever.

OMG that is a TERRIBLE call. That wasn’t close to a swing. Lmao

I don’t care if you think Yandy Diaz went or not, James Hoye should not be ending this baseball game with a check-swing judgement call. The next challenge system will be here before you know it.

We have another close call down the third base line in this series. Do you agree with the foul ball call?
