Relax, everybody. Italy is saving us from some really stupid MLB MAGA moments. What's happening tonight is a gift.

And we were robbed of the possibility of an all-time great moment three times. Kill the intentional walk.
Shohei Ohtani is 4-for-4 with 3 intentional walks He's the first player EVER to reach base safely 7 times in a #Postseason game

The Yankees probably should’ve folded up shop after 2004, knowing that they sullied their name and shamed their unborn grandchildren. But they didn't, so now @DanSecatore can take you through the most embarrassing Yankee playoff exits of the past 20 years overthemonster.com/mlb-news/…

That wasn’t the devil, it was MLB’s ownership class (although…)
Replying to @LouMerloni
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing fans that franchises either need to create dynastic superteams that steamroll everyone or sell off every spare part to kick the can to next year, with nothing in between.

I for one am going to withhold judgment until I hear John Henry explain the team's reasoning to the media, which I assume will happen any minute now.
