A few weeks ago, I listened to a podcast show. In the show, the host mentioned a closer who was underrated, and the host indicated that the closer might be the most reliable one in the postseason over the last few years.

Best SS in the postseason?
A couple of months ago, I listened to a podcast show. In the show, a guest indicated that he remembers well that a shortstop hit a walk-off single in the postseason. It was a great podcast show and after listening to the show, I was thinking about a question.

A good manager?
The 2023 season is over. For the Dodgers fans, it might be an unsatisfying season. The team won 100 games during the regular season. However, in the NLDS, the Dodgers only scored 6 runs, 2 each game, and they were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers again fell short in the postseason and again, some fans are talking about Dave Roberts’ future.

Just love to hit in the postseason?
The 2023 season is over. The Rangers won the first World Series Championship. In the playoffs, several Rangers players had hit very well and great hitting performance certainly helped the team. Besides the Rangers players, this postseason, several players used their bats to contribute to the team as well.

HR leader at Truist Park in the postseason
The baseball season is over. The Rangers won first World Series title in franchise history and Corey Seager slashed .318/.451/.682 with 6 home runs and 12 RBI in the 2023 postseason. In particular, he crushed 3 home runs at Globe Life Field and by far in his career, he already blasted 10 home runs at this ball park in the playoffs. While seeing Seager’s great performance in the postseason, I began to think about a question.

100 mph, no problem?
In Game 4 of the NLDS, Spencer Strider threw a 100-mph fastball and Nick Castellano made a very solid contact, the ball just kept going. Gone, it was a home run. That’s October baseball. Lots of things could happen. Spencer Strider earned 20 wins during the regular season. However, he took 2 losses this postseason. That’s why watching October baseball is so entertaining. You can’t expect what will happen. A 100-mph four-seam fastball was crushed.

Something didn't work
For the Dodgers fans, it’s not an ideal way to end the 2023 season. The Dodgers won 100 games this year, however, they were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLDS. Again, the Dodgers fell short in the postseason. And, this time, it might be even more bitter. The ace Clayton Kershaw couldn’t finish his job and only tossed 0.1 innings this postseason.

Johan Santana, Pablo Lopez and good changeups
In October, two-time Cy Young award winner Johan Santana was back to Minnesota, throwing the first pitch in Game 3 of the ALDS. Surprisingly, Santana wore a Pablo Lopez jersey. It was a great moment because Pablo Lopez indicated that Santana was his childhood idol.

Good choices in 2007?
A few weeks ago, I watched a video on YouTube. A player who used to play for the Atlanta Braves was interviewed and he mentioned the 2007 draft class. After watching the video, I went to check on the great baseball reference website to see which players were selected by the Braves in 2007.

Ohtani, the leader for
The 2023 season officially came to an end. Hence, several players are free agents now. On the free agent market, it is certain that so many baseball fans will pay a lot of attention to see where the top free agent Shohei Ohtani will go. Before he makes his decision, let’s take a quick look at his performances during these 6 seasons with the Angels.

Love to pitch in the postseason?
The 2023 Fall Classic just came to an end. The Rangers won the first World Series title in franchise history. It’s an interesting World Series, in particular, for the Rangers fans. A few days ago, a friend indicated that the key to winning the World Series is pitching. Well, that makes me think about a question.

2023 Topps Update Series
The 2023 Topps Update Series was released in mid-October. After this product was released, I went to a card shop to buy some hobby packs of the 2023 Update Series. For me, it’s necessary to buy some packs of this series. But, this year, the price of the Update Series increased a lot. Additionally, just a quick fact, in a hobby pack of the 2023 Topps Series 2, there are 14 cards. In the 2023 Update Series, there are 12 cards in a hobby pack. Well, it’s getting harder to collect baseball cards.
