Only on TV
Went to the likely suspects and nothing. Not sure if there is a feed through a Russian site that Govt. hasn’t shut down yet …
You can try to find a pirate live feed
… like I do. I used MLB TV for the last round, and watching from the camera angles without seeing what everyone gets to see gets very awkward and headache inducing.
I like listening to the WXYT stream better than watching the game anyways.
All of the MLB Network pundits said we have no chance of winning....

Heard Jim Leyland on the radio
Sounds pretty mellow and upbeat. He said the second-guessing doesn’t bother him because where there is passion, there will be second guessing, and the fans had a passion for the team long before he even got there. :)

Yesterday would have ben Holland's birthday according to alii's post
This is good. My experience is pitchers win on their birtdays more often than not. Another benefit of the rainout.
It only took one game, but I’ve developed a good, strong, hate for Texas. Seeing Bush and Laura sitting there did the trick for me

Alex Avila has patellar tendinitis in his left knee. And it shows. He’s 1-for-21 in the postseason. #Tigers
I hadn’t heard this diagnosis previously.

pretty close
Read the book “Scorecasting” for more on it. They did an analysis and found that really there is no such thing as “clutch.” Better players are more likely to deliver in the clutch because they are more likely to deliver in any other situation, because they are better players.
When you account for the randomness inherent in an statistical test, you really can’t determine what players are clutch.

I'll buy all day that there really isn't any ability as "clutch"
But “choke”? Anyone who has ever worked at and played any athletic endeavor knows what it’s like to “choke”. To allow a situation to determine whether you perform your best. “Coking” is very real, IMHO.

It looks like he's able to get to both sides of the plate
and his change/split looks very good. Elevating pitches generally means late hand break or stride too short. If you can see where his pitching arm side is on lead foot strike (Slo mo?) it might give a good idea where he is at times.
