Tough call, he looks good to me. I feel like 90% of the time when I see posts complaining about a balk, the person is wrong…but this falls into the 10%.

You have to have a very keen eye as an umpire to catch that and it took someone else pointing it out and 3 times looking at it before I saw it. There is a very very slight flex of his front knee that simulates his motion right before he stepped off with his pivot foot. By letter of the rule, it's a balk. But like I said, you really have to have a keen eye and only the home plate umpire is going to detect that from head on. I don't know if Smoltz's quote "that's tough, that's real tough" is him disagreeing with the call or begrudgingly agreeing but it's splitting hairs.

First pick for WS - Brewers-Guardians. Two long suffering fan bases.

next is Brewers v Rays. Rays may not get much fan support, but they build teams the right way.

**** the dodgers

It'd be even better if the Brewers were still in the American League and Cleveland was still the Indians.

Everyone loves the Indians. I don't know - something about the Rays.

Has anyone been to the Rays' dome this season since hurricane reconstruction? It actually looks pretty cool. Why do they need to move?

Milwaukee and Cleveland -- Would love to see this match up in the series. Loving the Brewers beat down of the elitist Dodgers.

Well deserved series win/sweep by the Brewers.

Dodgers have an old lineup, especially their big 3 at various years into their 30s.

I had the Brewers yesterday and was so confident I even live bet them when they were down 4-0. Laughing at the Dodgers is a great pastime.

It is interesting that so many posters, including me, post that we need to increase our NIL so we can get better players. This is what the Dodgers do with free agent signings. Why the animosity?
I hate the Dodgers w/ or w/out a massive payroll.
