Visiting teams about to be 5-0 so far in the ALCS and NLCS.
 








I wonder what the record is for least amount of runs scored in a AL/NLCS

AI is equally stupid in trying to answer that question as well.

What I was able to find was the Dodgers 1966 WS is the lowest run total of any 7 game series. They scored 2 runs in Game 1, then were shut out the last 3 games.

As for the AL/NLCS, the 1970 Pirates scored 3 runs but that was in just 3 games (best of 5). In 7 games, 3 times has it occurred where a team only scored 5 runs.

Not even close 🤷‍♂️

ReggieVision💪 for the Win - there’s only Mr. October

Three different pitchers, 3 consecutive swings of the stick in a deciding game in the WS. His last one went 475 🦶.

Bask in his greatness😎, you fiend🥸 -

Relive the moment Reggie became Mr. October

It is remembered as one of the greatest single-game performances in sports history: the night that Reggie Jackson slammed three homers in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series, forever cementing his place as “Mr. October.” In his remarkable performance on Oct. 18, 1977, Jackson cracked a drive off three

Sorry, no. I heard Ohtani sold the most beer in-between innings as well.

Oh, I forgot the best part😉

The other team they played was wearing Blue😎

My ten year old ❤️ soared with each swat. Was yours, perchance crushed, like when Michelle Karn, my 5th grade crush, checked the No Box on whether she liked me or not?
 

I was pulling for the Mariners to win their first ever American League Pennant. Bummer.

On the plus side, we get a Game 7.
 

Mad Vlad is in baseball lore zip code with his postseason heroics, including his ridunkulous 1.532 OPS vs. the Pilots. I wouldn’t bet against him in game 7😎.

Here’s a link which highlights other out of this world performances -

Players with best postseason performances

Whether by dominating on the mound or catching fire at the plate, many players cemented their names in baseball lore with outstanding Octobers. Some were already established stars. Some were virtually unknown to the baseball world before instantly becoming household names. But the common thread...

Oof, up 2-0, up 3-2 in the series. Up 3-1 in the 7th of Game 7 but lose.
 




Have to say, I really miss some of the small ball era. Just seems like so many guys have entirely had that coached out of the game, which makes me sad as a small guy that that’s what I loved about baseball. Both teams left 7 on base, hit into multiple double plays, blew executing runners on third with either 1 or no outs, and stole no bases. And this is on a night the pitchers were mediocre hitting the strike zone and walked 7 batters.

Well stated.

I think the pendulum will swing back eventually.
