Aaron Judge had another historic season. And another October without a World Series title. The pressure is mounting on the Yankees to not waste Judge's prime. "It's what you play for. You play to win. And when you don't win, it's not a good year." https://t.co/Xt1iyFsqLR

For the second time in a week, the Yankees will give the ball to Cam Schlittler with their season on the line. On the rookie's steady development, quiet confidence and ability to channel his emotions in the biggest games. https://t.co/MxD2O2nDlm

Seattle has never won a World Series. Or even an American League pennant. Could a little bit of alchemy change that?

Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh both doing MVP things on a night Kyle Schwarber hits two home runs and a team fully blows a historically large September division lead while another fighting for a playoff spot aims to win a game in extras is precisely why I freaking love baseball.

It's been a rollercoaster first year in Queens for Juan Soto, beginning with a slow individual start down to the Mets fighting to avoid a collapse. Does it feel like home yet? "It's a little better." So, when will it feel like home? "Soon. Soon." https://t.co/qDF1CyEqNK
