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.

And I am a Dodger fan since 1955 when I was 7 years old. Some good years, some not so good ones.
Wait until next year.

My Dad played for the Giants and I'm a former Giants fan going back to Murcer, then Will Clark, Robbie Thompson, Matt Williams, Kevin Mitchell, and all those guys.

No love for the Dodgers - even the likeable teams they had back in the day.
