Send us a textDid you stay up late to watch game one of the ALCS Sunday night the 12th? #Mariners and #BlueJays both entered the American League in 1977. Toronto has won 2 World Series but the Mariners have never won a pennant. Will they get past the Jays who have the home field advantage? We make our points and tell you why one of the teams may win easily!   Mariners got by the #Tigers winning a 15 inning classic in game 5. George Kirby hopes he never has to face Kerry Carpenter again! But the M's had Leo Rivas and Jorge Polanco to rescue their season although Cal Raleigh did all he could. Jays kind of bludgeoned #Yankees who had pitching and fielding issues despite getting a terrific performance from odds-on favorite for ALMVP Aaron Judge.  #Dodgers vanquished #Phillies. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner just didn't do enough. Neither team hit all that well and it was defense and coming through in the clutch that led L.A. to the 4-game victory.  Mookie's wheel play in game 2 was amazing and just perfect. Orion Kerkering's brain fart to lose game 5 and the series was unfortunate. We feel bad for him.  Now Dodgers get the #Brewers who subdued the #Cubs also in 5 games. Brew Crew did the little things a little better and home field meant everything as the home team won every game. Will L.A. overcome Brewer mojo? Listen/watch us take that on!  Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid! Check them out on Spotify or Apple Music!  Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening!

Congratulations to the Blue Jays, Mariners, Dodgers and Brewers for advancing to their League Championship Series. We enjoy and comment.

On today's edition of Sports 56 Mornings with Greg & Eli, we get ready for a big sports weekend. We'll find out who will be in the League Championship Series in MLB, Week 7 of College Football, Week 6 of the NFL. In the first hour, John Varlas of the Daily Memphian joins us in studio to preview this week's top High School Football games in the area

The Toronto Blue Jays are the first team to punch their ticket to the League Championship Series after knocking out the New York Yankees on Wednesday night. It'll be the first time since 2016 that Canada's team will be playing for the AL pennant. However, their opponent is still up in the air, with a massive Game 5 set to take place on Friday.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Blue Jays eliminating the Yankees and why the Bronx Bombers always seemed just a hair behind Toronto as the season progressed. They also discuss Aaron Judge's Game 3 heroics and whether that single-game performance is enough to get some fans off his back about his postseason production.Also on this episode, Jake and Jordan break down the upcoming Game 5 that will decide the series between the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners, with the winner set to face the Blue Jays in the ALCS this weekend. Then they turn to the NLDS, which suddenly got a lot tighter after both the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies won their Game 3s to stave off elimination and live to play another day.2:07 – The Opener: Yankees get eliminated11:30 – Blue Jays' impressive showing in the ALDS19:56 – Mariners & Tigers set for Game 527:02 – How does this series shape up?34:05 – Phillies avoid elimination in Game 347:18 – Brewers-Cubs set for Game 4 Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Ben & Woods catch up with The Athletic's Eno Sarris for our weekly Smart Baseball segment and Eno gives us his biggest takeaways from the 4 ALDS / NLDS matchups as we get closer to the League Championship Series. Listen here!

It's getting tense in the postseason with the road to the World Series being littered with fallen teams, hopes, dreams, fingernails, and sanity. The Yankees have blessedly joined the fallen today (Oct 8), but the Phillies, Dodgers, Cubs, Brewers, Mariners, Tigers, and Blue Jays remain, each with Asian and Asian American players to root for. We recap the Wild Card Series and the Divisional Series so far, setting up next week's League Championship Series. Two teams in the NL and two in the AL to fight for their shot at baseball glory. Yamamoto had been lights out, Suzuki rediscovered his power swing, Woo is out for the ALDS, Sasaki is crushing in relief, and Ohtani started hot, but has since looked lost at the plate. Lots to still be determined. And it's going to be explosive, tense, and a hell of a lot of fun.

The Blue Jays are going to the American League Championship Series!   The Jays shrugged off their ugly loss to the New York Yankees in Tuesday's Game 3 and did all the things that got them to this point on Wednesday - great defence, timely hitting, making their opponents pay for mistakes - and combined that with an outstanding performance from eight relievers to knock the Yankees out of the post-season, guaranteeing that they won't defend their American League pennant.   Of the four teams that went into their games Wednesday with a chance to advance to the next round, the Jays are the only one that managed to do it.   They're in the League Championship Series - one of the last four teams standing - for the first time since 2016 and only the third time since 1993. They'll face either the Detroit Tigers in the first-ever 401 series or the Seattle Mariners in the first-ever ALCS battle between 1977 expansion cousins.   On this latest playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we go over the Game 4 win, what went right and what could have gone wrong, and we open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca  for your comments and questions!   Audio sources: Fox and Sportsnet

In Peanuts, we mourn the loss of Fernando Valenzuela. We react to both League Championship Series and the resulting matchup of the Dodgers and Yankees for the World Title. We ask the question, is spending the most the best way to win a title? The Reds hire Terry Francona and the Tigers and the White Sox are for sale.

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we do a full League Championship Series preview. With the Mets versus the Dodgers, we look at whether the Mets' magic can continue. Can the postseason legacies of Alonso and Lindor help them advance, and can aces Manaea and Severino get them back on track after a Game 1 loss? We explore the Dodgers' starting pitching woes but the recent resurgence of their bullpen. The wild card could very well be whether the unpredictable Mets' bullpen can be at its best. With the Yankees and the Guardians, Judge needs to be Judge to move this team past the LCS, Stanton needs to stay hot and Soto needs to go from warm to hot. The Guardians bullpen is the "Clase” of the league, but will it be enough to stave off the Yankees? All this plus the secret to good chili, which should be on your stove for October baseball. *Music by Podington Bear

Fredric Michael Lynn was born on February 3, 1952He arrived on the big league scene like a bolt of lightning through the evening sky. Fred Lynn played in his first game on September 5, 1974 and proceeded to smash major league pitching to the tune of a .419 batting average and a .698 slugging average over his first 15 games. He followed that up with one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time, leading the Red Sox to the World Series and earning the Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Gold Glove awards for the 1975 season. Lynn was the first player to achieve this trifecta, an accomplishment matched by Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners in 2001.Fred Lynn had the greatest coming out party in baseball history in 1975, when as a rookie, he played a stellar center field for the Red Sox and earned the American League Most Valuable Player Award. All season, opposing pitchers searched in vain for a way to get the left-handed hitter out, and all season they were left scratching their heads. Lynn hit .331 in his freshman campaign, and followed it with a .314 mark in 1976, but injuries kept him out of the lineup all too frequently for the remainder of his career. He was healthy in 1978 and 1979, and in the latter year, he had his best overall campaign, belting 39 homers to go with 122 RBI, 116 runs scored, 42 doubles, 82 walks, and a .333 average. But after he was traded by Boston to the Angels, he was never quite the same player. He did recapture his magic twice after leaving Red Sox Nation, however. In 1983 he hit the first grand slam in All-Star Game history, and in the 1982 League Championship Series, he punished Brewers' pitchers for a .611 batting average and 11 hits in the Angels' five-game defeat. Seemingly destined to become one of the game's greats, Lynn never met those lofty (and unfair) expectations, but he still produced 306 homers and more than 1,100 RBI in his injury-riddled career.After he collected 11 hits in five games and batted .611 in the 1982 Playoffs, Fred Lynn became the first player on a losing team to be named Most Valuable Player in a League Championship Series.
