UFC 297

A\n : my boy got robbed

"your gonna do great baby," I said cupped a side of his cheek my other hand on his hip, his one hand on my hip his other hand hanging he nodded I peck his lips "I love you..i'll give you your time k?" he nodded again "love you" he whispered "kiss me and relax" he cranks a small smile and pulled me in and kissed me deeply "i'll be back here when your done champ" I added "okay baby" he kissed my head before I looked and saw Nina in the doorway.

Me and her got out seats "you okay?" she asked "yeah yeah you know" I shrugged she nodded. "you want to be in my story?" she asked "sure" "we are here at UFC 297 with the misses Y/n,"I smiled "what do you got?" "my man by whatever he wants" I chuckled. Sean song started he walked out and stopped and pecked my cheek before going in "you got it".

I was on the edge of my seat the whole fight going into the last round I thought Sean had two and DDP had two. Sean's blood going down his face DDP could barely see his eyes were almost shut. He won the last round to me going into the Decision "hes got it" she said and rubbed my back while we stood up "And...NEW!" I sighed and stand back in my seat "that was a fucking rob" I whispered I stood back up "i'm going" I said and gave her a hug on the walk out "excuse me" I said going though the crowd of people.

I made it to the back and to Seans dressing room before him and sat down waiting for him and the couches. He walked in with his head down and closed the door behind him while his couches gave us a sec before coming in "hi" I gave a sad smile "hey" he rasped "i'm sorry" he added putting his hands on his hips still not looking at me, I went up and put my arms in his wrapping mine around him "don't say that Sean i'm so proud of you,everyone knew how that fight went you did great" I looked up at him and kissed his chin.

He wrapped his arms around me, digging his head into my neck "what the fuck" he whispered "I know" I kissed his neck moving a hand to the back of his head "you really think I had that?" I nodded "you had at least 3 champ" he took a deep breath and lifted his head from me "okay thank you" I lightly smiled and pecked his lips.

I walked behind him on the walk to the bus, he didn't say anything passing fans and on to the bus. I stopped by his seat not knowing if he wanted me to sit with him, he looked up at me not saying anything. I gave a quick smile and was gonna go to the next seat "sit down" he nodded his head to the empty seat next to him.

I sat next to him and he put a hand on my far thigh making me wrap my arms around his leather covered one. laying my head on his shoulder "I love you Sean" I kissed his shoulder on top of his jacket "I love you too" he said against my head before kissing it. I rubbed his arm up and down as he laid his head on my relaxing his body "so proud of you" I whispered so quietly I didn't know it he heard me.

The fact that Cannonier vs. Strickland was a split decision while Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev was a draw? Disgusting. The effort both fighters put into the title fight was insurmountable; Sean and Jared danced around each other for nearly 20-22 minutes and someone was graced with a W.

[theanticool]

How would a fight between Strickland and Whittaker go right now? I asked this question before but that was before Driscus beat Rob and before Strickland beat IZZY. Do you feel that Sean would still give Rob more chances to respond and tag him? Or do you feel Whittaker has gotten too predictable?

I haven’t really changed much on it. It just doesn’t feel like Strickland is able to capitalize on the things that guys like Costa, Till, and DdP could because he just does not hurt most people he fights. He is going to be in range all fight because that’s just how Strickland. Unlike Izzy, Whittaker will not wait around for the perfect counter. He would sell the feints by actually landing with his jab and pushing Strickland back.

The thing that gives me a bit of pause is that Whittaker’s team seems to not believe in him pressuring anymore? Like when he pressured against Costa, he cooked him. But instead of telling him to do more of that, they wanted him to keep playing it “safe”. The easiest way to beat Strickland is to push him backwards. Letting him be in front of you, jabbing at you for 3-5 rounds isn’t “dangerous” per se, but you can lose the momentum (and points) really easily. Especially if you’re just trying to go kick for kick with him in between exchanges. Costa, who tbf is much faster and more powerful than Strickland, had a lot of success just throwing the jab with Whittaker. Busted him up, got him to move backwards, etc. But I got to believe Whittaker and his team would recognize these things and address them before hand.

Sean Strickland

MW (Middleweight) Division + UFC 297

My honest reviews on the fight as of today was :

Dricus Du plessis during the first R1-R2, was mostly him and Strickland kind of just the jabs n shi, not much happened during it which reminded me of Sean’s fight with Adesanya which wasn’t all that good except R1 where Strickland lands a knock down to Adesanya. In Round 1 Du plessis did seem hurt, his eye got a swelling, his left eye I guessed.

Round 1 to 2 Strickland wins, R3 the tables turned and Du plessis kept advancing with the takedowns and getting up on the significant strikes. As much as I didn’t like du plessis and liked Sean more, it just really felt like Sean was sort of holding back or he felt off during the fight. There was a lot of hype during the conference. And overall the fight but this was my opinion and if anyone else thinks otherwise it’s all fine.

Round 3 was when Strickland did get cut in the brow and maybe at the end of round 2 was when Dricus landed some shot towards stricklands eye. R4 and R5 were no other. Arguably Dricus won R3-4-5 and landed more strikes and the take downs, plus he injured Sean. Both did good. But Sean got cut in the head and the slight (swelling)? Near his eye and etc..

A lot say Sean got robbed. I would say yeah, at the almost end of R5 he did start landing a few hits but mostly missed and it was kind of too late and Dricus won and now he’s the champ, so R1-R2 Sean wins. But then Dricus really pulled a 180

Now with Dricus being the champ as of current. A lot were speculating that Alex Pereira or Khamzat were coming back to fight Dricus. I doubt Pereira would come fight Dricus. But if he did, good luck. That would be the shortest championship reign in MW history despite the fact you JUST won it. Khamzat winning the belt from Dricus. If that happens I’m not so sure anyone is gonna take the belt from khamzat. He’s gonna wipe the floor with half the middleweight division is what I think and it’s just gonna take so long to dethrone Khamzat. A fan of the Borz here 🫡

But what do you think? I am upset that Strickland lost. Same way I felt when Tony lost to Paddy :(

I Eat Men Like Air by Alice Berman

Book Summary:

A lavish, snowy weekend in New Hampshire ends in tragedy - and, a few months later, one of the party-goers is found dead. As famed podcaster Tyler Carroll tries to discover the truth around Alex Sable's dramatic death, he turns to the native Upper East Siders who knew the billionaire's son best. Each of the six people Tyler is investigating has something to hide, and each has chosen a wildly different path: Lulu is an LA influencer, Maxie a Park Avenue Princess turned Chicago housewife, Will a status-obsessed lawyer, Rob a money-hungry trader, Yael a not-so-innocent ER doctor, and Alex himself a party boy with a penchant for darker trouble than even his friends knew. With the shadow of a fifteen-year-old crime hanging over Alex's life, Tyler delves deeply into the complex past that seems almost to have disappeared from memory, hoping to find any answers around who Alex was, alive and dead.

Review:

In Berman’s mystery novel, a true-crime podcaster immerses himself in the overprivileged world of a “despicable lot” after a member of the group dies in an apparent suicide.

Police detective Sean Strickland is assigned to the case of Alex Sable, the 30-year-old son of a billionaire who apparently committed suicide in the bathroom at his best friend’s wedding: “Of all times to kill yourself! It’s very selfish,” the wedding planner rails. “The best man. Do you know anyone who would do something like that?” Tyler, a popular podcaster who’s come to this part of New England to investigate the fentanyl epidemic, has questions and increasing suspicions about Alex’s death, which Strickland says could be suicide but also could be an accident or a homicide. Tyler talks with members of the wedding party and Alex’s friends, including Will and Jessica, the shattered bride and groom; famed Instagram influencer Lulu Swanson; Alex’s former high school classmate Maxie Stein-Golden; Rob, a trader, who’s “always just a few seconds late, a few meters short, a few words off”; and Yael, a “perfectly nice” doctor. Through these interactions, Tyler unearths the inevitable secrets and scandals that bind the group together and threaten to tear their lives apart. As Alex’s life comes more into focus, the question of whether his death was self-inflicted or inflicted by another remains elusive. Berman’s debut novel is an instantly addictive read. “Tyler found Alex Sable three hours after he had been declared dead” is the kind of opening upon which entire TV series have been launched, and the large cast of characters mostly avoids falling into whodunit clichés; Lulu, for example, makes Tyler “unnerved” when he finds his assumptions to be flawed: “She looked like she should say like every ten seconds and instead she dropped words like expound and maudlin.” Berman also drops in some fine literary references; the book’s title, for instance, comes from a Sylvia Plath poem. More Metropolitan than Gossip Girl, this novel makes for an entertaining spin on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous line that “the very rich…are different than you and me."

An intriguing whodunit with richly drawn characters.

I've asked a question before about how the other top 15 middleweights stack up against Whittaker, but this time I want to focus on Sean Strickland. It seems that in every fight he has he draws fighters into his style over 5 rounds, is he better than I think he is? How would you see a fight with Rob going? Do you think he'd fall for Strickland's game at all?

As much as I actively dislike Strickland, dude is a legit top ten 185er. That’s partially a knock on 185 but also a testament to how consistent he is with his game. His boxing isn’t great or varied, but he tends to have good ideas for how to engage. I think Phil McKenzie pointed it out, but he’s got tremendous vision. Sees shots coming really well and is able to disengage or counter accordingly. As a result, you have guys who get drawn into these really sparring pace rounds of kickboxing.

We’ve seen Whittaker fight this type of fight before - against Till, who I think is less skilled but more “dangerous”. Like Strickland, Till has good vision for people trying to close range. While I wouldn’t say he’s a good “counter puncher” Till is great at scaring people off from stepping inside. Normally by hurting them, which he did to Whittaker twice. Problem is, unlike Till, Strickland is going to give Whittaker opportunities to respond. He’s higher volume, loves to square up, and has less A to B speed on his big shots. Strickland would give more tells for Rob to work with and I think Rob would walk away with a clear win in the end. I will also say Strickland has been able to basically work this game because all his opponents besides Imavov basically fight at the same pace or a slightly slower pace than him. Hall, Cannonier, Hermansson, Jotko, etc. They all operate in that same kickboxing sparring pace that Strickland likes to operate in. Imavov is an early sprinter but he basically comes down to earth by the 2nd and is gassed by the third. Not opportune for 5 round fights.

If I have to see Strickland fight in a five round fight again, let me see him against Marvin Vettori. I don’t know why, but I find that fight oddly compelling.

“Is this really the kind of card you bring to Norfolk, Virginia all due respect to the fine folks who live there?!” UFC Fight Night Poirier vs Pettis preview

Joey

November 6th

We just passed the UFC's biggest weekend of 2017 and normally after a big weekend, a not so good card follows. This time though after a big card, we've got a really good free TV card to follow it up. Live from Norfolk, Virginia, the UFC rolls into town with a pretty damn solid card that has just a little bit of something for everybody. Like really compelling on paper fights? We gotcha! Like WMMA? Gotcha! Like old veterans with something to prove? Gotcha! Like bantamweights? Word! Heavyweights? I mean we got those too! Ya like Sage Northcutt? WHO DOESN'T?! This UFC card is an Oddlot and I can approve of that, topped by a fantastic main event pitting Dustin Poirier vs Anthony Pettis.

Fights: 13

Debuts: 1 (Karl Roberson)

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 1 (Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs Jared Cannonier)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC): 11 (Anthony Pettis, Dustin Poirier, Matt Brown, Diego Sanchez, Andrei Arlovski, Nate Marquardt, Raphael Assuncao, Joe Lauzon, Clay Guida, Jon Dodson, Sage Northcutt)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC:  3 (Andrei Arlovski, Matt Brown, Nate Marquardt)

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC:  2 (Matthew Lopez and Raphael Assuncao)

Stat Monitor for 2017:

Debuting Fighters (Current number: 33-29)- Karl Roberson

Short Notice Fighters (Current number: 20-31-1)- 0

Second Fight (Current number: 23-33)- Michel Quiñones, Tatiana Suarez and Junior Albini

Cage Corrosion (17-11-1)- Tatiana Suarez

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- Is it FINALLY going to be time for Dustin Poirier to get that big career defining win? Poirier has been fantastic at 155 lbs, an action fight fan's dream fighter, a finisher and everything else you can put on a guy. He is must see TV and it's no surprise that since dropping to 155 lbs, he has three bonuses (and was likely robbed of two other ones since the Alvarez fight didn't get 50K and his KO of Bobby Green happened on a card where dudes were getting flattened left and right). Lost in the love for the 28 year old Louisiana native is the fact that he hasn't had that ONE signature win. He's beaten a lot of guys who in theory live in that 15 to 10 range of the LW division but the big win has eluded him. At FW, entertaining losses to guys like the Korean Zombie and Cub Swanson plus a KO to Conor McGregor are probably his trademarkk performances. At 155 lbs, he looked on his way to putting himself in the conversation among the likes of RDA, Pettis, Alvarez, Ferguson and the crew before Michael Johnson removed him from the conversation in a stunning upset. He looked on his way to getting that win vs Alvarez before he got hurt and eventually kneed illegally.

The entire career of Poirier feels like a collection of moments where he's good enough TO win but not great enough to rise above. In main events, Poirier is 0-2. In co-main events, he's 0-1. If we judge fighters by their ability to rise up, so to speak, then Poirier's record is not giving you a ringing endorsement for confidence. Even saying that, we're discussing a 28 year old who is ultra skilled in every capacity. Maybe he's a step slower than the heaviest hitters in the division (he looked to be moving at Tivo slow mo speed vs Michael Johnson) and maybe you have questions about his ability to deal with pressure. Maybe you worry about his composure which could explain his so-so record in big fights. Whatever the case, even at 28 years old, we're reaching the "He is what he is" portion of Poirier's career. A fantastic action fighter who SHOULD be among the elites at 155 lbs. This is a big fight for him.

2- Similarly, Anthony Pettis. Lost in the record is the how and why we got here. Pettis simply got out dogged by an injured RDA in a fight where both guys were impaired. After that? I mean I thought he beat Eddie Alvarez pretty clearly. Edson Barboza is a better version of Anthony Pettis which was just all kinds of wrong for him. Ignore everything at 145 lbs because that was a bad idea. The point I'm trying to illustrate here is that Pettis is far better than he's shown since 2015 or so. We're talking about a fantastic athlete still entering his prime who is still capable of big fight magic. His resume is littered with well known names and those aren't fluke wins. Even if I believe that Pettis has become a big stagnant in recent years, on his good night he's probably better than your favorite lightweight. Poirier is going to be a pretty valuable test for him and what remains of Pettis as a top 155er.

3- I know Matt Brown is retiring but I really hope win or lose Diego Sanchez follows him into whatever MMA Valhalla is.

4- Andrei Arlovski vs Junior Albini is so much of what MMA is and so little of what we wish it to be. Arlovski is 0-4 and while he didn't get sparked in his last fight, he showed so little against Marcin Tybura that I don't even really see the point of this fight other than trying to launch Albini's career. That's great and all but Albiini is ONE fight into his UFC career and we have no idea what he's really all about. The only way we learn anything about him is if he loses and that'd speak volumes in the negatives. This is a very odd peculiar fight.

5- Joe Lauzon vs Clay Guida has one of two ways of ending. The first is Lauzon dropping Guida early and snatching his neck or the other is a hot start for Lauzon followed by two rounds of Clay Guida just smacking him around on the ground if Lauzon doesn’t get an early sub. It’s so weird this fight hasn’t happened earlier than this point but even so, I’m pretty geeked about it.

6- Jon Dodson vs Marlon Moraes is one of those fights with no middle ground. It's either all action or it's the world's smallest fastest staring contest.

7- While I don't like the fight, Tatiana Suarez vs Vivianne Pereira seems like a really great fight between two solid strawweight prospects. Pereira is a little undersized but she's hyperactive and looked worlds better vs Jamie Moyle. Tati Suarez has title contender talent and a fantastic base for the division but she's been out for a good long minute. Excited for this one even if I dislike the fact a prospect's gonna get knocked off.

8- Really excited to see Matthew Lopez get his crack at figuring out Raphael Assuncao. If you beat Assuncao, you should be like champion emeritus at 135 lbs. Lopez had a way too tough debut vs Rani Yahya and even in that fight he was more than competitive in scrambles and on the feet. Since then Lopez has picked up two wins over competent 135ers like Johnny Eduardo and Mitch Gagnon. That said, Assuncao is forever at a level above most of these dudes in the weight class.

9- We're starting to get to that point where the DWTCS signees are getting opportunities to have fights. Boston Salmon lost his chance but Karl Roberson gets a shot now. Dropping from 205 to 185 lbs, Roberson draws Darren Stewart who was really impressive in Cage Warriors prior to getting his UFC call up. He got hit with the Francimar Barroso train after a no contest and now he'll also make the drop to MW. Excited about these two guys.

10- Of the twelve fighters currently posted up on this main card, it almost seems reasonable to half of them could be retired or out of the UFC by next year. You have Arlovski, Diego Sanchez, Joe Lauzon, Clay Guida and Nate Marquardt who could all be on their last legs or considering retirement not including Matt Brown who is genuinely retiring.

11- Everybody's favorite human Ken Doll is back in business, baby! Sage Northcutt has returned!

12- It has the potential to be a bit of a dud but Court McGee vs Sean Strickland could be a fantastic little fight on the prelims. Strickland's kind of lost his way from his more exciting pre-UFC days but I Think he's still got high upside and McGee always shows up to fight.

Must Wins

1- Anthony Pettis

Anthony Pettis looked back vs Jim Miller---but that's really not enough of an indictment on what remains. Miller's a good test for if you still have enough to be considered elite but he's not quite the measuring stick for whether you ARE elite. Pettis has a lot of questions that still need answering even if vs Miller he looked aggressive while being composed, tremendous with his kicking game and more in check with each passing second of the fight. Dustin Poirier has power, variety in his hands and I can't imagine Pettis is going to outwrestle him if it comes to that. The fact that this is five rounds and Pettis has looked AWFUL in his last two fights meant for that distance is worrisome.

2- Dustin Poirier

Dustin Poirier's career will be one of two things; a long career as a best action fighters of his time but never challenged for anything major OR a career where The Diamond is able to get over the hump and contend for titles and more main events.

3- Marlon Moraes

There were a lot of subtle flaws hidden by Moraes when he was competing at the WSOF.  It's not to suggest he's not really talented (he is) but when he would take his foot off of the gas, he wasn't challenged much by inferior competition. Against Raphael Assuncao, I thought he showed some of those flaws and it ultimately cost him in a close fight. Dodson is similar in Assuncao in the sense that a boring fight is a fine fight for him. If he can't blitz you and overwhelm you with his speed, he's fine with just giving you enough offense to take a decision. Moraes going down 0-2 as the 135 lb class is loading up again would be a dire circumstance so he needs this one in the worst way.

Five Fights Not To Miss:

1- Dustin Poirier vs Anthony Pettis

2- Super Sage vs El Chapo in a battle of amazing nicknames

3- Tatiana Suarez vs Vivianne Pereira

4- Joe Lauzon vs Clay Guida

5- Matt Brown vs Diego Sanchez

Where have all the home runs gone?

After a historic year for home runs in Major League Baseball, the postseason has been another story.

2019 was the year of the home run in major league baseball, with several long ball records obliterated during the power-happy regular season. But so far this postseason the home runs have been less frequent.

Through the first 50 games this October, we’ve seen 1.20 homers per team game, down from a record 1.39 during the regular season. With pitching staffs consolidated and better pitchers pitching a larger quantity of innings, reduced performance from hitters is understandable. But the ball seems de-juiced, too, lacking the potency of the regular season.

Rob Arthur of Baseball Prospectus found that air resistance on fly balls has shot up during the postseson, suggesting the ball was significantly different than during the regular season.

“MLB may have been afraid of the juiced ball deciding a playoff series when what would have been a weak flyout went over the fence,” Arthur posited, “but instead they’ve ended up with the opposite: hits we thought were certain dingers dying at the track instead.”

Cardinals manager Mike Shildt revealed during the NLCS that the St. Louis analytical department said the ball this postseason is traveling four and a half feet less than in the regular season.

Speculation ran so rampant that commissioner Rob Manfred felt the need to respond, claiming no shenanigans with the ball.

BREAKING: MLB issues statement on baseballs used in postseason. “Balls that are used in the Postseason are pulled from the same batches as balls used in the regular season.... only difference is the stamp placed on the ball.” Additional comments: pic.twitter.com/SX9NqfykiY

Whatever the reason, anecdotally there have been several balls in play this October that seemed like home runs, only they weren’t. Since we already talked home runs during the regular season that sure didn’t look like it off the bat, it’s only fair to pitchers that we turn the tables in the postseason and rank the would-be homers that ended up not.

1) Carlos Correa, ALCS Game 2

Correa would later end this game with a walk-off home run in the 11th inning, but five innings earlier he batted with the same tie score, and unloaded on a pitch from Tommy Kahnle, who screamed an expletive once he saw it off the bat.

Tommy Kahnle’s reaction says it all here, even though he got an out in this case.

Correa hit the ball harder and longer than his walk-off home run, and had the same launch angle. This ball had an expected batting average of .900 per Statcast, but it was hit where fly balls go to die in dead center field in Houston, unlike his game-winner to right field.

In the regular season, there were 15 balls hit at least 103 miles per hour with a launch angle of 27 degrees or higher to center field at Minute Maid Park. 11 were home runs, and four were outs.

2) Will Smith, NLDS Game 5

The Dodgers catcher had a chance to end the NLDS with this ninth-inning shot against Daniel Hudson. But his 100.3-mph hit to right field, with a .640 expected batting average per Statcast, instead fell harmlessly into the glove of Adam Eaton at the wall, keeping the game tied.

“I thought Will Smith just ended it there,” television analyst Jeff Franceour said on the TBS broadcast.

I did it because I hate myself: Will Smith’s 9th inning fly out had an exit velocity of 100.3 at 26 degrees. Here’s every ball hit with those specs, overlayed on Dodger Stadium. pic.twitter.com/xBE8JXQh4h

While the 106-win Dodgers saw their season end far earlier than expected, in this moment all the hope in the world was evident in the eyes of Smith.

Maybe next time, rookie.

3) Howie Kendrick, NLDS Game 5

But for all the Dodgers fans who are angry that Smith’s potential series-winner didn’t leave the park, the de-juiced ball cuts both ways. In the fourth inning of the same game, Howie Kendrick hit a fly ball to center field, a ball hit harder (100.9 mph) and longer (393 feet) than Smith’s ball, and had a higher expected batting average (.700). But it was caught, too, by a leaping Cody Bellinger at the wall.

It was a harbinger of Kendrick’s series-winning grand slam six innings later.

4) (tie) Ronald Acuña Jr., NLDS Game 3 & Max Muncy NLDS Game 4

On first glance, Muncy’s ball, a 107-mph drive at 32 degrees to center field in Washington D.C., was the clear robbery here, though perhaps more so by the wind and rain than by the ball itself. The expected batting average on Muncy’s ball was .910, but it simply died at the wall and into the arms of Michael A. Taylor. It was enough to make pitcher Sean Doolittle smile like he just got away with something.

This gets lumped in with Ronald Acuña Jr. in Game 3 in St. Louis. Though this one seemed more like a routine fly ball, Acuña hit the ball 106.9 mph with at 36 degrees, with a .740 expected batting average. When the ball isn’t traveling all that well, these outs will happen.

But these two are almost unicorns in a way, given their locations. Only one such ball was hit to center field in St. Louis during the regular season, and only three were hit in Washington. But just to give you an idea of how potent a 106-mph, 30-degree drive was during the regular season, 118 of 155 (76.1 percent) such balls league-wide went for home runs.

6) Adam Eaton, NLDS Game 2 (twice!)

Eaton hit a big looping curveball from Clayton Kershaw 99.8 mph off the bat, hit 391 feet to center field, but it was caught just in front of the 395 sign on the wall. There were 47 balls hit at least 99 mph with a launch angle of 26 degrees or higher to center field at Dodger Stadium during the regular season, and 39 (83 percent) were home runs. Kershaw was right to look worried off the bat.

In the ninth inning, Eaton hit another fly ball to center field. This one was shorter (368 feet) but was hit harder (100.8 mph) with a higher launch angle (31 degrees) than his previous drive. This was also an out. Balls with similar trajectories at Dodger Stadium in 2019 went for home runs 13 of 16 times.

7) Will Smith, NLDS Game 1

The Dodgers teed off on reliever Hunter Strickland in the eighth inning of a series-opening win, with two home runs and two near homers in a five-batter stretch. One of the would-be home runs that was an out was Smith’s drive to right center field. It had a .590 expected batting average thanks to a 99.9-mph exit velocity and 25-degree launch angle. There were 152 balls with those latter two traits hit at Dodger Stadium during the regular season, and 136 of them (89.4 percent) were home runs.

This one, however, was an out, thanks to a sprawling grab by Adam Eaton on the warning track.

There have been a few others this postseason that seemed like home runs off the bat, only to die harmlessly in the waiting arms of an outfielder. Despite crushing the ball — like Yuli Gurriel in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Rays, or Giancarlo Stanton in Game 2 against the Twins — these were essentially 50-50 balls, with roughly equal chances of being a home run or an out during the regular season, though the outs seem to be coming more routinely during October.

That’s a big change from the regular season.
