I'm not sure. The cynic in me assumes the reason is to maximize merch sales before the change comes into effect. I think they've stopped putting the Chief Wahoo logo on all their hats and jerseys, but a quick look at their official store website still shows a lot of jerseys with "Indians" across the chest.

Good job Rays for beating the Astros. Also, fuck the Rays. World Series starts on Tuesday. I'm still hoping for a Rays / Dodgers matchup. But I don't know who the Dodgers have available to pitch tonight. Might need their lineup to score a lot of runs to make it through tonight.

Mets gonna Mets, that's just how it goes. The Jays are up 6-3 late in the game now, but their 8th inning guy has pitched himself into a bit of a jam. This team has talent but wins are not going to come easy. They could be "scrappy and surprising" good, but they're not going to be "we're obviously better than you" good. (Or they could just turn out to be bad )

I read a free agent contract predictions thing on The Athletic yesterday, and IIRC they predicted a two-year, $16 million deal for Hand. Not sure which team will give him that contract, but I think it's pretty fair in the current environment... but I still think it's stupid of Cleveland not to pick up the $10 million option. He was very good this season and earned that money. Relievers can be so random year-to-year, but even if he turns into a pumpkin next summer... it's only a one-year deal. Seems like a no-brainer to me If you're not up to speed on the Turner thing, I'm pretty sure it went like this: Before game 6 he had an inconclusive COVID-19 test, so they took another sample and let him start in the game. During the game the second test came back positive so he was pulled from the game (in the 7th inning IIRC?) and put into isolation. After the game he was allowed on the field to celebrate and take a photo with the team. At first he was wearing a mask but was still hugging and getting close to teammates and coaches. And then he just stuck around out there continuing to celebrate the victory, eventually losing the mask and seemingly not taking any care to protect people from catching COVID from him. It was all playing out on live TV. Very weird situation.

White Sox to hire TLR as their new manager The White Sox had a very good year, finished 35-25 this summer, and have a talented young core of players. I'm not sure I could think of a worse pick for manager than La Russa I'm calling it now: It's not going to end well.

The 8pm start time and length of game pretty much guarantees that I won't watch the whole game. Might make it until the 6th/7th depending on how much run scoring is going and how slow the pitchers are working.

RIP Reds Didn't even score a run.
