For opening night.

#2) 11/21/03 @OleMiss 74-69 W
#1) 11/29/93 @TexasTech 79-76 W the Arthur Agee GW shot
Chandler Simpson finished 4th in avg

Miguel Vargas reached base at a higher rate

Since there's been a million mentions about the Brewers small ball in the NLCS...let's look at the totally ignored impact the HR had in it.
Game 1 B4 Skubal retired 9 of the 1st 10 with 6 Ks when Turang goes yard to get Milwaukee off the schnide and tie the game at 1.
And we just had a reenactment of 8th inning Game 1 ALCS Oct 9 30 years ago. What was a HR in 1996 is a double in 2026.

Talking about clutch....as soon as I saw Kike Hernandez in the lineup I told my sister the Dodgers fan it's just a matter of time before it's Kike time in this game.

Those extra strikeouts really affected his production didn't it. ;)
Just got my @Reds 2026 calendar in the mail recently.....as usual it's missing October.
I thought the idea of playing 8 yards off the receiver was to keep him in front of you...not let him get past you for 50 on 3rd and 14.
In 2021 after the Hogs beat Texas my former boss posted a pic of he and some of his friends giving the upside down Hook em Horns hand gesture....since that season
Texas is 45-13
Hogs 21-30
That's called a full throttle karma attack....js
Player A mlb leading 107 RBI .317 avg with Runners in scoring position batting with a 3-1 count 1st and 3rd 2 outs
Player B 55 RBI .199 avg RISP batting with a 0-0 count bases loaded 2 outs...who would you rather have up

Reds 15 Wins a .750+ win% and a sub 3.00 ERA in same season
Dolph Luque 1923
Elmer Riddle 1941
Chase Burns is currently at
15 Wins

If he keeps those and gets 29 more Ks to 200 he'll be the only one to have all 4.
