The best of the week.

Some great battles, rivalries.

This postseason so far, action-packed.

Let's go around the room real quick.

Dan Byers like,

the brewers are out.

I hate baseball.

Give me one player you're impressed with and one player you hate. Because in the baseball postseason, you get to know. You get to know some new players because, let's be honest. You're not watching the AL Central as close as maybe you'd watch the NFL or the NBA. Anyone come to mind? Yeah, I got one. I got, well, it's obvious, but when you're watching me in these moments and you're seeing how much he means to the team, I feel like Lindor really turned your team around. Like, he made the Mets legit. It's not like, we're really lucky to be here. Like, no, you guys are playing behind this dude and you guys are, are magical. I hate to say it. The Mets made me say OMG like seven times over the weekend.

Oh, my God.

Lindor, I knew he was great.

But to watch him in this moment, unbelievable.

Just a great player.

And Manny Machado continues to be a hateable guy.

Oh, what a hateable guy.

You know what? I pay more attention to the Dodgers being out here in L.A. Even though I'm a East Coast baseball fan. So I know about the Dodgers. I know what Mookie brings and Freeman and you see Otani and it's just a beast. But watching the Padres, man, Fernando Tatis Jr., his swing. you're going to say Kyle Higashioka. His swing, Tatis Jr.'s swing is a thing of beauty. It is, it is. And ProFar is also one of these guys that you want to love to hate because he screwed my Mets a couple years ago on that wild card. Yeah. And he's doing that to your Dodgers now. So ProFar is one of those big game players. I'm not just saying it's because he's a former Yankee, Danny G.

But watch out for Higgy, Kyle Hageoakashioca. Three home runs in the postseason. And he's the catcher for the Padres. But he always had this reputation of having crazy pop. So he could hurt you at any moment. and it's crazy to see him delivering on a big stage like this.

I really appreciate Blake Trinan, who's the... So he could hurt you at any moment. And it's crazy to see him delivering on a big stage like this.

I really appreciate Blake Trinen, who's the Dodgers setup slash closer.

You know, ever since they got Kopeck, those two guys have kind of been trading off.

But as far as the Padres, just to show I'm not a hater.
