    Breslow's favorite song is "Lose Yourself." He better come out to it in the press conference.

    I'd be fine with him saying it, if it happens!
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Bailey didn't seem to get much out of the SF guys. Breslow is a "push velo" guy. We'll see if the combo works?

    We also know that the Cubs FO has a lot of Red Sox DNA - so hopefully the transition here is smooth. And of course, if he can establish a high level run prevention operation it's worth it.
    The 84 win Diamondbacks are going to the WS largely because of their pitching.

    Here are the '23 playoff ERAs of the top AZ pitchers by IP:
    5.24 Gallen (22 IP)
    2.65 Kelly (17)
    2.70 Pfaadt (17)
    2.53 Thompson (11)
    0.00 Ginkel (9)
    0.00 Sewald (8)

    These guys sure turned it around, except for their ace.

    Gallen did have 2 good games in the earlier rounds, but the Phillies knocked him around some.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    Thompson, who has pitched more postseason relief innings than any other D-back... was DFAed by Tampa... in mid-August?

    And signed by Zona -- INSTEAD OF BOSTON -- three days later...

    THIS is why Bloom was fired!
