Photo Credit: HBO Max James Gunn’s Peacemaker concluded its second season with an unexpected twist that caught fans by surprise. Peacemaker Season 2 finale featured a subtle moment that sparked online buzz, as viewers noticed something unusual hidden in one of the closing scenes. James Gunn opens up on Peacemaker Season 2 cameo James Gunn confirmed that he appears in the background of the Peacemaker Season 2 finale boat scene. Fans spotted the DC Studios co-CEO during a concert sequence featuring Foxy Shazam, with Gunn standing beside crew members. The discovery went viral after a user on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted his appearance, posting screenshots that quickly gained over one million views. On Threads, Gunn reacted by saying, “Haha I swear I never knew I was so clearly in there. I’m standing next to Nelson and our PAs! One of the most joyous moments of my life.” He thanked viewers for watching the season and added, “Thank you all for joining me tonight and this whole season. It’s been an honor. Peace out!” During Peacemaker: The Official Podcast Gunn confirmed the cameo, noting that the scene included several crew members and the band Nelson. “I just said, ‘Come on guys, let’s all come out.’ The whole crew came out there, a lot of our PAs went out there. We were all just dancing around,” he said. He added that fans might “freeze frame and find us back there.” Season 2 also featured Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, marking his first on-screen appearance before Superman: Man of Tomorrow. In the HBO Max series, Luthor formed an uneasy alliance with Rick Flag Sr., which ultimately left John Cena’s Peacemaker trapped in the alternate dimension of Salvation, a prison for Earth’s metahumans. Peacemaker Season 2 is available to stream on HBO Max, with Gunn now preparing for Superman: Man of Tomorrow, set to expand the first chapter of the new DC Universe.

http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/USATSI_27319038.jpgBenny Sieu-Imagn Images Say what you want about Blake Snell. You may not find his Only Use Strike Zone in Case of Emergency pitching style fun to watch, but in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, the Brewers found it even less pleasant to hit against. Snell carved through a Milwaukee lineup that scored 22 runs in the NLDS like a knife through nothing at all, ending his night by retiring 17 straight. He faced the minimum over eight innings in an absolutely dominant performance as the Dodgers beat the Brewers, 2-1, to take a 1-0 lead in the NLCS. A prolonged bout of shoulder inflammation limited Snell to just 11 starts and 61 1/3 innings this season, but over those 11 starts, he was excellent, running a 2.35 ERA and 2.69 FIP. He’d been even better in the playoffs, earning wins against the Reds and Phillies and allowing just two runs, five hits, and five walks while striking out 18. On Monday night, he made those performances look like warmup outings. Snell went eight innings for just the second time in his entire career, and finished with 10 strikeouts, no walks, and one hit. That one hit was a weak line drive that third baseman Caleb Durbin dumped into center field in the third inning. Durbin then broke for second way too early, allowing Snell to throw over to first and catch him easily at second. “You gotta disrupt it,” said Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy between innings. “You gotta do something. He looks really sharp.” The Brewers didn’t do anything. It wasn’t surprising to see Snell dealing, but it was surprising to see him not walking anyone. The game plan for the Brewers was simple, if difficult to execute. They had the lowest chase rate and the sixth-highest walk rate in baseball this season. They needed to be patient and force Snell to throw the ball in the zone. The Dodgers wanted the same thing. “I can’t have him nibble,” said Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts before the game. Snell didn’t nibble. He hit the zone 50% of the time, well above his regular season rate of 44%, and only a hair under the major league average of 51%. It was just the third time in the past two seasons that he’d gone without a base on balls. His changeup was particularly devastating, and he threw it 37% of the time, the second-highest rate of his entire career. Between innings, he sat on the bench and flipped through a half-inch three-ring binder that held either scouting reports or notes for an AP chemistry midterm. For their part, the Brewers pitched well too, but they found themselves in repeated scrapes in the middle innings. Opener Aaron Ashby and bulk reliever Quinn Priester made it through the first three innings with two walks and no hits. It seemed like Priester’s ability to induce groundballs might just flummox a Dodgers team that ran the highest fly ball rate in baseball. Roberts disagreed. “The first couple innings, I liked our at-bats,” he said during an in-game interview. It wasn’t necessarily clear what Roberts liked so much, aside from the fact that the Dodgers had only struck out twice. To that point, they had two walks, no hits, and one hard-hit ball. But he would be proven right quickly enough. Priester walked Teoscar Hernández on four pitches to lead off the fourth inning, and Freddie Freeman nearly made him pay for it right away, ripping a deep drive into left field. Isaac Collins, who hadn’t played any left field since September 28, made a fantastic leaping catch just before running into the wall. The hard contact was just getting started. Will Smith ripped a single through the middle and Tommy Edman lined a first-pitch single into center field to loading the bases with one out. Max Muncy blasted the hardest ball yet, a 104 mph shot to the very deepest part of the ballpark, and it looked like the Dodgers would strike first. Sal Frelick, who started just eight games in center field all season, nearly made his own fantastic leaping catch up against the wall. Instead, he did something even better. The ball bounced out of his glove, off the padded top of the wall, and then back into the glove. Frelick fired the ball back into the infield, where all the runners – unclear whether the ball was a home run or had been caught – were still camped out on their bases. But it wasn’t a catch or a home run. Hernández bolted for home, sliding a fraction of a second too late after a brilliant relay from shortstop Joey Ortiz. It was a force out. Bizarrely, neither of the other runners had moved at all. Edman was still on second and Smith was still on third. Durbin, not wanting to draw the attention of the Dodgers, gently waved Contreras over to third. Contreras jogged toward the base and stepped on the bag. Nobody was quite sure whether he’d just completed a double play. Roberts got on the phone. Frelick had knocked his hat off somewhere in all the kerfuffle, and he just stood there on the warning track with his palms in the air and his eyes wide open, looking left, then right, then back again for someone who could tell him what exactly he had just been a part of: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Frelick-GIF.gif As he put his hat back on, a camera caught him grinning ear to ear and asking a teammate, “What the f*ck just happened?” After a review, the call on the field was confirmed. It was your classic 404-foot 8-6-2 double play: Priester had wriggled out of the jam by allowing the Dodgers to hit the ball harder and harder. He returned to start the fifth, a risky proposition after the way the Dodgers pounded him in the fourth. On cue, Enrique Hernández greeted him by ripping a leadoff double into left field. Andy Pages grounded out to third, and although the left-handed Jared Koenig was warming in the bullpen, the Brewers decided to intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani, putting runners on first and second so that Priester could stay in to face the right-handed Mookie Betts. Murphy had said during an in-game interview that the Brewers were hoping to get 85 pitches from Priester, and they needed that length desperately enough to let the right-hander try to work his way out of the jam. Betts nearly made him pay for it, hitting the ball on the screws at 94.1 mph, but right at second baseman Brice Turang, who fielded the ball on a hop and started a 4-6-3 double play. Priester had allowed four hard-hit balls in the fourth and fifth innings, and those four balls had resulted in one double and four outs. That would be the end of his night. By the skin of his teeth, Priester had scattered three hits and three walks over four innings while striking out one. The game was still knotted at zero. The Dodgers would finally strike in the sixth, when Freeman dropped his bat head on a low fastball from Chad Patrick, lifting a towering fly ball to right field. Jackson Chourio kept drifting back slowly enough that it seemed like maybe, just maybe, the Brewers would have their third shot at making a leaping catch at the wall, but he ran out of space. He stopped at the wall and the ball landed just a few feet beyond him. After leaving five runners on base in the previous two innings, the Dodgers had opened the scoring with a solo home run: The Dodgers would tack on an enormously useful insurance run off Abner Uribe in the top of the ninth. Uribe had been absolutely nails during both the regular season and the playoffs, but he walked leadoff man Muncy, then allowed Enrique Hernández to poke a weak single into right field. Pages bunted Muncy and Hernández over to second and third, and the Brewers once again intentionally walked Ohtani, bringing Betts to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. With the pressure on, Uribe lost the strike zone, walking Betts and scoring Muncy. The Dodgers led 2-0, but as has often been the case of late, their bullpen made things interesting. Roki Sasaki, now the official Dodgers closer, issued a one-out walk to Collins. Jake Bauers pinch-hit for Ortiz and ripped a line drive double into center field. This time, a bounce went the Dodgers’ way. The ball went over Pages’ head and bounced off the warning track and over the fence. Had it stayed in the park, Collins would have scored easily and the game would have been tied. The Brewers had runners on second and third with one out and the top of the lineup at the plate. Chourio ripped a deep drive into center, and both runners tagged up; Collins scored. The Brewers were down to their final out, down 2-1 with the tying run on third in the form of pinch-runner Brandon Lockridge. Sasaki fell behind Christian Yelich, 3-1, nearly sending a pitch to the backstop and allowing Lockridge to tie the game before battling back to make it a full count. He lost the battle, walking Yelich and bringing William Contreras to the plate. Roberts had seen enough from Sasaki, and brought Blake Treinen into the game. You know things are bad when you turn to Blake Treinen as the solution to wildness. Treinen walked Contreras, who somehow laid off a 3-2 sweeper that ended up just off the outside corner. It was an impressive take, and it brought Turang to the plate with the bases loaded. Treinen got ahead of Turang, then threw a 1-2 sweeper directly at his knees. Turang was unable to master himself quickly enough to stay in there and let the pitch hit him. The 2-2 pitch was a fastball at his eyes, and he couldn’t lay off it. He swung and missed, and the Dodgers had won the game and taken the series lead. For the Brewers, it was a devastating loss for a multitude of reasons. Their offense was absolutely silenced. With the game so tight, they had no choice but to use the cream of their bullpen in a losing effort. Ashby, Uribe, Koenig, and Trevor Megill will surely be available for Game 2 on Tuesday night, but all will have at least an inning on their arms, and the Dodgers have now had the chance to see them all. The Dodgers are now able to throw Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Ohtani at the Brewers, while the Brewers have Freddy Peralta lined up for Game 2 and a lot more mixing and matching in their future after that. It hurts to walk in the winning run after intentionally loading the bases. It hurts even more to come this close to stealing a win with Priester in a bulk role, only to come up short. In the visitor’s dugout, the Dodgers seem to be rounding into form at just the right moment. Playoff Enrique Hernández is back in full force, going 2-for-4. Freeman and Smith each chipped in two-hit performances of their own, and Ohtani added three walks, two of them intentional. Despite his struggles in Game 1, Sasaki has his found his role and the rest of the bullpen is fresh. The Dodgers got Ohtani back on the mound after Tommy John surgery and withstood injuries to Glasnow and Snell. All three are pitching like aces. The series is far from over, but with home field advantage neutralized and four more first-class starters lined up, Los Angeles is in the driver’s seat. Source View the full article

Photo Credit: HBO Max With James Gunn subverting fan expectations by excluding David Denman’s Captain Triumph in the Peacemaker Season 2 finale, the DC Studios co-CEO has explained his decision behind not making Chris Smith’s brother the primary villain of the sequel season. In a recent interview, the Guardians of the Galaxy director opened up about his stance regarding the character of Keith Smith, while also shedding light on his future in the DCU. James Gunn explains why Captain Triumph wasn’t Peacemaker Season 2’s villain While speaking with Deadline, Gunn noted that although the events of Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 7 have transformed Keith Smith, aka Captain Triumph, into a full-fledged villain, he has yet to sort out definitive plans for the titular anti-hero’s brother. “I think we’ve born a super villain, but I do think of the sort of…stories about Salvation, which is the thing that’s more planned out than the Keith of it all,” the acclaimed filmmaker noted. Despite not having charted out a fleshed-out storyline for Captain Triumph yet, Gunn confirmed that the character does have a place in future DCU projects. “I have plans for Keith, I just haven’t figured out exactly how it’s all going to work out, so I have to make sure I can do it,” he said before adding, “It’s hard with the interdimensional hopping stuff to make these things come together in the way I’d like. I have what I would like to happen with Keith, but I’m not sure.” Played by David Denman, Captain Triumph made his Peacemaker debut in the very first episode of Season 2. After John Cena’s Chris Smith accidentally ventures into a Nazi-dominated Earth-X, he learns that his brother is actually alive in this dimension. However, he ends up killing his Earth-X counterpart, which ultimately puts him on Keith’s radar. In the penultimate episode of Season 2, Peacemaker and his gang engage in a fierce battle against Keith and end up severely injuring him. However, the vengeful villain somehow survives his wounds, potentially setting up a future showdown against his interdimensional brother. Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on SuperHeroHype.

Photo by Manny Hernandez/Getty Images Dominic Zamprogna, who plays Dante, shared his thoughts on receiving a Daytime Emmy nomination. He revealed how he found out about his nomination and what material he chose for his submission. While he’s happy that several of his co-stars have also been nominated, there’s one particular actor he believes deserves an Emmy nod. Dominic Zamprogna says Steve Burton should have received Emmy nomination for General Hospital Dominic Zamprogna recently shared that he wanted even Steve Burton to receive the Emmy nod for his amazing work. In conversation with Soap Opera Digest, he said, “I’m super-happy for Nancy [Lee Grahn, Alexis] and Kate [Mansi, Kristina] and Laura [Wright, Carly] and stuff, but honestly, I think Steve Burton [Jason] should have been nominated. I thought he did great work.” Alluding to one of the scenes from Burton’s acting on GH, he added, “The stuff he did by Sam’s bedside was pretty phenomenal, and his eulogy was great, so I was surprised Steve didn’t get a nod.” Previously, Zamprogna had been nominated for the Emmys three times in the Supporting Actor category and once in the Lead Actor category for General Hospital. Now, he’s nominated in the Lead Actor category again for 2025, and he recently reflected on how he feels about the nod. He said, “I kind of set it as a personal goal to be in the ring again and here I am!” He recalled that he received the news while he was headed home after picking up his sister from the airport. At the time, he received a lot of texts about his Emmy nomination. “I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I had a decent shot based on the material, but everyone always thinks they’ve got a decent shot at being nominated. It felt really good! I was saying to someone else recently that there’s less shows [in daytime], but there isn’t less talent, so to make it felt really, really good,” he added.

Photo Credit: Bennett Raglin | CBS via Getty Images The long-running CBS crime drama FBI has returned with a shocking start to its eighth season. The premiere episode delivers a major twist, confirming the death of a key team member and marking a dramatic turning point for the series as it enters a new chapter. Emily Alabi is leaving as Dani Rhodes dies in FBI Season 8 Emily Alabi’s departure from FBI comes with the shocking death of her character, Dani Rhodes, in the Season 8 premiere titled “Takeover.” The episode begins days after the Season 7 finale, with Maggie and OA stranded on Port Turner Island amid a violent civilian militia. As they race to rescue a kidnapped judge’s son, Scola and Dani rush in to provide backup but encounter an ambush while docking near the island. A bullet strikes Dani during the attack, and she initially believes her vest absorbed the impact. After the team regains control of the situation, Dani suddenly collapses from a hidden abdominal wound. Scola discovers the injury moments too late as the scene ends with her body being covered on a stretcher. Her death occurs just as Isobel Castille, previously in critical condition, regains consciousness in the hospital. The episode closes with Jubal confirming Isobel’s recovery while the team mourns Dani’s loss. Alabi joined the FBI cast late in Season 7, where Dani quickly formed a strong partnership with Scola, becoming his most compatible field partner since Tiffany’s exit. CBS chose to write the character out with a decisive, heroic death instead of an off-screen departure. Within the story, her sacrifice highlights the risks the team faces in the field and establishes a somber tone for the new season. After Alabi’s exit, FBI introduces Juliana Aidén Martinez as a new character who will partner with Scola moving forward. The network has not yet revealed details about her role, but she will succeed both Tiffany and Dani. The episode also confirms that the flagship series will anchor CBS’ Monday lineup. The network canceled FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted to make room for the upcoming spinoff CIA, set for a midseason release.

Photo Credit: E4 A beloved British sitcom will make its long-awaited comeback after 15 years. The revival ushers in a new era for the hit comedy. It reunites the original creators and teases fresh adventures for its unforgettable characters. The Inbetweeners to return with its original characters The Inbetweeners creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have confirmed the comedy’s return after more than a decade. Fudge Park Productions partnered with Banijay UK to “pave the way for the return of the hit comedy.” In a joint statement, the two said, “Incredibly exciting to be plotting more adventures for our four favourite friends (ooh friends)” (via The Independent). According to Banijay UK, the new agreement unlocks rights “to bring The Inbetweeners back for new audiences across a range of platforms including film, TV, and stage.” Banijay UK CEO Patrick Holland said he was “delighted to pick up the conversation about the future of The Inbetweeners.” He added that the creators’ “infectious creative vision for the brand” will connect with both longtime and new fans. The original E4 sitcom aired between 2008 and 2010. It followed four friends: Will McKenzie (Simon Bird), Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas), Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison), and Jay Cartwright (James Buckley). The show became a cultural phenomenon and won a BAFTA Audience Award. It also inspired two hit films, The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014). Together, the films grossed over £100 million worldwide. Fudge Park’s managing director, Jonathan Blyth, said, “We are thrilled to announce this exciting partnership with Banijay who share our vision and ambition for one of the most iconic comedies in British history.” He added that “exciting conversations are afoot and more news to follow.” Joe Thomas recently confirmed that the cast is open to reuniting, though the format of the revival remains uncertain.

Photo Credit: Sony Pictures Releasing Fans of Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man have been wondering for years if The Amazing Spider-Man 3 might finally happen. Now, the actor himself has finally given a definitive update about the movie. Andrew Garfield says The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is ‘not happening’ Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man duology remains one of the most talked-about eras in Spider-Man’s cinematic history. Despite mixed reviews, Garfield’s emotional and human take on Peter Parker earned him a loyal fanbase. After his surprise appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, fans flooded social media with the #MakeTASM3 campaign, hoping Sony would finally complete the trilogy. However, in a new GQ video, Garfield directly addressed the long-standing rumors. When asked if The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was secretly in development, he answered, “It’s not happening and I don’t believe it ever will, but sweet of you to want it to happen.” The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was originally set for release in 2016, with director Marc Webb planning it as his final Spider-Man film. Sony even had The Amazing Spider-Man 4 slated for 2018, alongside spin-offs like Sinister Six. But plans collapsed after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 received mixed reviews, despite earning $716.9 million globally. Following the 2014 Sony hack and the studio’s subsequent deal with Marvel Studios, Garfield’s version of Spider-Man was shelved, paving the way for Tom Holland’s MCU debut in 2016. Since then, Garfield’s version of the character has lived on through fan nostalgia and renewed respect for his performance. His return in No Way Home allowed audiences to see his version of Peter find closure — a moment that many called redemption for both the character and the actor. Even though Garfield firmly denied The Amazing Spider-Man 3, fans remain skeptical. The actor infamously denied his involvement in No Way Home for months, only to later appear in the movie. So, with Marvel’s Secret Wars coming up and multiverse storylines expanding, fans believe there’s a chance Peter #3 might swing back into action.

Photo Credit: Netflix The final chapter of Stranger Things is set to return with a highly anticipated fifth season. The new installment of Netflix’s hit sci-fi series will continue the Hawkins saga with longer episodes, major story developments, and the conclusion of the Duffer Brothers’ acclaimed universe. Ross Duffer reveals official runtimes of first four episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 Ross Duffer, co-creator of Stranger Things, revealed the official runtimes for the first four episodes of the show’s fifth and final season.

Photo Credit: Netflix With KPop Demon Hunters dominating global charts and awards predictions, co-director Maggie Kang has addressed growing speculation about a live-action remake. Her recent comments have reignited conversations about the film’s creative future and what comes next for the animated K-pop trio, Huntr/x. The update also sheds light on why the directors believe the story works best in animation. Maggie Kang explains why a live-action remake of KPop Demon Hunters is unlikely Maggie Kang, the creator and co-director of KPop Demon Hunters, ruled out the possibility of a live-action remake during a BBC interview in Europe. She explained, “There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation. It’s really hard to imagine these characters in a live action world. It would feel too grounded. So totally it wouldn’t work for me.” Co-director Chris Appelhans agreed, adding that animation allows them to push creative boundaries that live action cannot. “One of the great things about animation is that you make these composites of impossibly great attributes. Rumi can be this goofy comedian and then singing and doing a spinning back-kick a second later and then freefalling through the sky,” he said, adding, “The joy of animation is how far you can push and elevate what’s possible.” The pair’s comments come as KPop Demon Hunters continues its record-breaking run on Netflix, surpassing Squid Game with over 325 million views. The film, about the K-pop trio Huntr/x who battle demonic boy band Saja Boys, also topped global music charts. Its anthem “Golden” spent several weeks at number one, tying “Sugar Sugar” by The Archies as the longest-charting animated act in U.S. history. The success has sparked speculation about a sequel and potential Oscar nominations. Kang said she is “excited for the potential for more stories,” confirming that “there’s definitely more we can do with these characters in this world.” The film remains a frontrunner for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, with “Golden” among Netflix’s official submissions.

The Red Sox are parting ways with assistant hitting coach Ben Rosenthal, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive. It’s possible that’ll be the only change to Alex Cora’s staff. Rob Bradford of WEEI reported over the weekend that bench coach Ramón Vázquez, hitting coach Peter Fatse, pitching coach Andrew Bailey, bullpen coach Chris Holt, and base coaches José David Flores and Kyle Hudson would all be back. Cotillo reports that the same is true for assistant hitting coach Dillon Lawson, catching instructor Parker Guinn and game planning/run prevention coach Jason Varitek — assuming none of that group leave to pursue better opportunities with another club. Rosenthal joined the Sox over the 2021-22 offseason. A former minor league player, Rosenthal had coached in college and in the Astros’ farm system before joining Boston’s MLB staff. For his first three seasons, Rosenthal worked alongside Luis Ortiz as an assistant hitting coach under Fatse. The Red Sox parted ways with Ortiz and added Lawson onto the MLB staff last season. It stands to reason they’ll now look for a new assistant hitting coach to split duties with Lawson. View the full article

http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Logan-Gilbert-ALCS-Game-2.jpgDan Hamilton-Imagn Images On Friday night in Seattle, Logan Gilbert was on the mound gutting out two scoreless innings of relief a mere two days after he’d won the third game of the American League Division Series. That performance was do or die; hold the Tigers scoreless or head home for winter. The entire Mariners team contributed to that 15-inning win, never mind any knock-on effects for the pitching staff. A few days after that, on Monday in Toronto, Gilbert tried to reprise his heroic, short-rest effort against a relentless Blue Jays offense in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series. The Mariners couldn’t expect to get a peak Gilbert start, so their bats had to put up enough runs to outrun the ongoing effects of the massive workload its pitching staff shouldered late last week. The offense delivered plenty of scoring, and the pitchers more than held their own despite the circumstances. When it was all settled in a 10-3 Seattle win, the Mariners were just two wins away from their first World Series appearance in franchise history. In your average playoff game, a three-run home run in the top of the first inning feels backbreaking, but this was no ordinary affair. Facing Toronto rookie Trey Yesavage, who’d silenced the Yankees eight days earlier in his postseason debut, Randy Arozarena got hit by a pitch, Cal Raleigh walked, and then Julio Rodríguez clobbered a splitter to put the M’s way out in front. In the bottom of the first, though, the enormity of the hill Seattle had to climb quickly became obvious. Gilbert came out and showed his entire arsenal right away, throwing George Springer a sampler platter of sliders and splitters that simply couldn’t miss a bat. By the time Springer ripped a 2-2 pitch foul, the Seattle bench looked worried. When Springer rocketed the next pitch off the left field wall, the consternation was already at a fever pitch. Gilbert might have gotten away with a sloppy start, but Josh Naylor tried to make a near-impossible play on a Nathan Lukes grounder to first and tossed the ball away. Alejandro Kirk followed with a two-out single that brought the score to 3-2. By the time Gilbert slammed the door on the first inning, he’d tossed 19 pitches and missed exactly one bat. A cursory look at Gilbert’s velocity would tell you that he was feeling no ill effects from his limited rest; he came out sitting 95-96, just like he has all year. But a closer look reveals the modern data-driven equivalent of a house of horrors. The velocity on that heater might have been unchanged, but the spin was down nearly 200 rpm, which means around five inches less induced movement. In other words, it was flat and hittable, and the Blue Jays took advantage. They swung at 17 fastballs and missed only twice. Even worse, it wasn’t fooling them; they swung at only 20% of fastballs outside the strike zone, but 88% of fastballs in it. In other words, they had no trouble figuring out where the ball was going or getting their bat to it. Normally, that would be a survivable problem for Gilbert. He has a spectacular splitter, an excellent slider, and a big curveball he breaks out for special occasions. But his fatigue affected more than just his heater. His slider and splitter both lost as much spin as the four-seamer, and that lost spin changed their movement profiles from enticing to abysmal. His slider lost break in both directions, and opposing batters ran a 90% contact rate against it. His splitter is supposed to dive, but in his diminished form today, he was inducing six inches of positive vertical break instead of an inch of negative break, meaning the pitch fell a lot less than it usually does. He only threw a single curveball, which should tell you how he felt about that one; it fell nine inches less than his average curveball, and that was that. Put all of this together, and Gilbert was pitching with the equivalent of at least one hand tied behind his back. He came back out for the second and labored again, throwing 27 pitches as he tried his hardest to navigate the dangerous top of the Toronto order, including an eight-pitch walk to Springer and a nine-pitch battle to retire Vladimir Guerrero Jr. In between, Lukes laced a line drive single to tie the game, and it felt like only a matter of time before the Jays broke through for even more. The third inning was Gilbert’s best yet, but even that was a struggle. He got only his second strikeout of the day when he hung a slider right down the pipe and Daulton Varsho missed it. Gilbert had only thrown 58 pitches, but he looked completely cooked. The reliever who followed him into the game wasn’t exactly fresh as daisies. Eduard Bazardo got Sunday off, but he’d pitched every single game of the ALDS, including 2 2/3 innings and 39 pitches in the clincher. He came in with diminished stuff too, but luckily, his sinker/slider mix plays pretty well even with the volume turned down. He was trying to get grounders, not whiffs, and that plan works a lot better with diminished stuff than “make ‘em miss” does. The Jays were all over Bazardo, whiffing only once in 15 swings, but they repeatedly put the ball on the ground. Between the fourth and fifth, Bazardo faced seven batters and got five grounders. The other two at-bats ended in a strikeout and a lazy fly ball. Did he need a bit of BABIP luck to turn that into two scoreless innings? Sure, but that plan seemed a lot better than getting any more out of Gilbert. The heroic effort by the Seattle pitchers would only matter if the bats could break through. Luckily, the Mariners offense has been one of the best in baseball all year. You might not realize it from the box scores, but it’s not their fault they play in offense-suppressing T-Mobile Park for half of their games; their 113 wRC+, which adjusts for stadium, trailed only the Yankees this year. In the top of the fifth inning, Arozarena reached on a single plus an error, which led the Jays to walk Raleigh intentionally. The problem with that move is that most of the Seattle lineup is a home run threat. The Jays brought in Louis Varland to try to quench the rally, but after fooling Rodríguez with a sneaky fastball down the middle for strike three, he tried the same trick against Jorge Polanco, who did what great hitters do to hittable fastballs. He took an enormous rip, his hardest swing of the game, and deposited the ball 400 feet away. Just like that, it was 6-3 Mariners, even though they’d been on the ropes and desperately seeking outs for seemingly the entire game. Suddenly, the Blue Jays had a problem. They’d had two gift-wrapped chances to create offense against exhausted Mariners pitchers. They did alright against Gilbert, posting three runs in three innings, but I’m sure they were disappointed not to get more; the only extra-base hit they tallied was Springer’s game-opening double, and despite Gilbert’s complete inability to throw the ball past them, they didn’t put enough runners on base to break the game open. Bazardo’s two innings of relief might not be noticeable on an average night, but when you’re facing Seattle’s elite run prevention unit and grasping at any chance to break through, three runs in five innings against two exhausted guys isn’t going to do it. I hope you’re not disappointed to see that the recap is nearly over after only five innings of action, but uh, this game was pretty much over too. The Mariners got into the soft part of the Toronto bullpen and went to work. Mason Fluharty allowed a run in a dicey appearance, which brought in Braydon Fisher against the top of the Seattle lineup in the sixth. After stringing together a few outs to escape that inning, he went and surrendered a two-run homer to Naylor. Yariel Rodríguez entered to clean up Fisher’s mess and got into a jam of his own by walking the first three batters he faced. After a sac fly put the Mariners into double digits, mopup man Chris Bassitt was in to wear the last few innings of the onslaught. The Jays couldn’t even claim a moral victory at the end of the game. Seattle sent in Carlos Vargas and Emerson Hancock from the bulk-innings section of the bullpen. Those guys combined for negative WAR in the regular season, and Vargas had been scored on in each of his first two appearances of the playoffs while Hancock hadn’t appeared. The Jays managed exactly zero hits in four innings of work against those guys; despite four walks and only two strikeouts between them, they closed the game out without even a tiny bit of drama. This series will resume on Wednesday in Seattle. By then, the Mariners pitchers will be at least close to rejuvenated. George Kirby will pitch on regular rest, and then Luis Castillo will be on regular rest for Game 4. Bryan Woo lurks in the wings for a late-series appearance. That should absolutely terrify the Blue Jays, who just struggled to score four runs in 18 innings against the “easy” part of the Seattle pitching staff. If this is what you manage against a compromised Gilbert, Bryce Miller on short rest, and the “B” relievers, that’s a bad sign for the next few games. On the other hand, what a gutsy effort by Gilbert. This is probably the worst his stuff has ever been on a major league mound. It was jarring to watch. His splitter, in particular, looked like a shadow of its normally devastating self. Every time he risked throwing it in the strike zone, it was a hold-your-breath moment; the Blue Jays were taking big hacks and almost never coming up empty. But they ripped a ton of secondary pitches foul, way out in front of what would otherwise be crushable offerings, and seemed caught in between when he threw his bat-seeking fastball. It feels weird to call a three-runs-in-three-innings performance a huge win, but that’s what happened here. Gilbert showed up and didn’t have it, but he still did enough to help his team out. The Mariners have played six games this postseason, and this was the worst starting pitcher performance of the group by a fair margin if you only look at the box score. If you take the degree of difficulty into account, though, it might be the best of them. The Mariners would have been happy getting out of Toronto with even a single win following their marathon ALDS victory. Instead, they’re heading back home up 2-0 in the ALCS because even when their pitchers don’t have their regular stuff, they’ve found a way to get the job done. Source View the full article

The Reinsdorf era may be drawing to a close. With clean books and many unsettled positions, do the White Sox have any bold offseason moves up their sleeve? Guaranteed Contracts Andrew Benintendi, LF: $31MM through 2027 Option Decisions Luis Robert Jr., CF: $20MM club option ($2MM buyout); deal includes $20MM club option for 2027 Martin Perez, SP: $10MM mutual option ($1.5MM buyout) Total 2026 commitments (if Robert's option is exercised): $38MM Total long-term commitments (if Robert's option is exercised): $52.5MM through 2027 Arbitration-Eligible Players (service time in parentheses; salary projections via Matt Swartz) Mike Tauchman (5.143): $3.4MM Steven Wilson (3.166): $1.5MM Derek Hill (3.040): $1MM Non-tender candidates: Wilson, Hill Free Agents Tyler Alexander, Michael A. Taylor (retired) In last year's Offseason Outlook, we briefly touched on the bigger-picture questions of who will own the White Sox long-term and where they will play in 2030. One of those questions has likely been answered. In June of this year, the team announced that "Jerry Reinsdorf and Justin Ishbia have reached a long-term investment agreement that establishes a framework for Ishbia to obtain a future controlling interest in the White Sox," adding that "Ishbia will make capital infusions into the White Sox as a limited partner in 2025 and 2026 that will be used to pay down existing debt and support ongoing team operations." That's the headline, but the details are crucial: "The agreement provides that, from 2029–33, Reinsdorf will have the option to sell the controlling interest to Ishbia. After the 2034 season, Ishbia will have the option to acquire the controlling interest. In the event of any such future transaction, all limited partners of the Sox would have the opportunity to sell to Ishbia at that time. In addition to Justin Ishbia, his brother Mat Ishbia, and father Jeff Ishbia will also be significant investors. There is no assurance that any such future transaction will occur, and in no event will such a transaction take place before 2029." If you've got 20 minutes to spare, check out this discussion between Alex Maragos of NBC 5 Chicago and Jon Greenberg of The Athletic, who has done a lot of reporting on this planned transfer of ownership. You'll hear the word "transformative" thrown around, but there's no reason to expect a significant player payroll increase in the near future. White Sox fans have a new sense of hope about the future of the franchise, but for the 2025-26 offseason, we don't expect much of an Ishbia effect. The 2025 White Sox were just normal bad, rather than historically bad. It was the team's third consecutive 100-loss season, with a 60-102 record. The White Sox ranked 14th in the AL with 3.99 runs scored per game. The starting rotation ranked 11th with a 4.39 ERA, while the bullpen checked in at 10th with a 4.16 mark. The defense seemed to be bottom-five in the league. Despite that, positives are emerging. The White Sox have established a Kyle Teel-Edgar Quero job-share at catcher. Teel came up in June and posted 1.9 fWAR in 78 games, including a 125 wRC+ at the plate that ranked sixth among all catchers. Shortstop Colson Montgomery came up in July and slugged at a level well beyond anything he'd done at Triple-A: a 129 wRC+ with 21 home runs in just 284 plate appearances. On the pitching side, GM Chris Getz snagged Shane Smith from the Brewers in the Rule 5 draft last winter, and he remarkably became the team's All-Star representative. The righty, 26 in April, faltered in the middle of the summer but posted a 3.09 ERA and 27.1 K% over his final ten starts. First base was a bit of a black eye. The White Sox justifiably gave up on former third overall pick Andrew Vaughn, optioning him to Triple-A in May and sending him to the Brewers for pitcher Aaron Civale in mid-June. The Brewers brought Vaughn up a few weeks later and he put up a surprising and robust 142 wRC+ in 254 plate appearances, plus a couple of key home runs in the Division Series against the Cubs. The White Sox never really settled on a first baseman after moving on from Vaughn, with guys like Tim Elko, Ryan Noda, and trade deadline pickup Curtis Mead getting looks. The majority of starts went to Miguel Vargas, who also played a bunch of third base. Vargas flashed signs of life in May and August, but overall his 101 wRC+ doesn't really play for a starter at an infield corner. So what can be done?

The Brewers and Dodgers kick off the National League Championship Series in less than an hour. Each team made one change to the rosters from their respective Division Series. Milwaukee made a move in the bullpen, swapping out Nick Mears for Tobias Myers. General manager Matt Arnold told reporters the decision was mostly about adding length to the pitching staff (link via MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy). Mears has only once completed two innings in a game this season. All but five of his 63 appearances have been a single inning or less. Myers has been a starter for much of his career and was working a handful of 2-3 inning stints in long relief down the stretch. The Brewers will lean heavily on their relievers, especially in games not started by Freddy Peralta, and have Aaron Ashby kicking off a bullpen game tonight. Still, it comes as a moderate surprise that the hard-throwing Mears gets left off the roster entirely. Over the course of the season, only Trevor Megill entered the game in higher-leverage spots on average for skipper Pat Murphy. Mears was third on the team with 16 holds. He’d also pitched three times in the five-game Division Series win over the Cubs, tossing 1 2/3 scoreless frames while striking out three of seven batters faced. Mears missed a couple weeks in September with back tightness, but Arnold suggested the decision was less a health question and more about the need for multi-inning arms in a seven-game set. The Dodgers also made a change, adding a 12th pure pitcher after carrying 11 pitchers (not including Shohei Ohtani) and 15 position players for their series against the Phillies. Right-hander Ben Casparius draws in while the team subs out third catcher Dalton Rushing. That’s most notable as a positive sign for Will Smith. The Dodgers were apprehensive about having Smith catch early in the Philly series. The star backstop came off the bench as a pinch-hitter for the first two games as he plays through a finger fracture. Smith caught the last two games in full and apparently showed enough that the Dodgers no longer feel they need to keep Rushing active behind Smith and Ben Rortvedt. The 24-year-old Rushing struck out in a pinch-hit at-bat in his only appearance during the Division Series. Casparius adds a mop-up option to the bullpen after pitching to a 4.64 earned run average across 77 2/3 innings during the regular season. He pitched very well for the first two months but posted a 6.31 ERA in 27 appearances after June 1. The full rosters break down as follows: Brewers Catchers: William Contreras, Danny Jansen Infielders: Jake Bauers, Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, Joey Ortiz, Brice Turang, Andrew Vaughn Outfielders: Jackson Chourio, Isaac Collins, Sal Frelick, Brandon Lockridge, Blake Perkins, Christian Yelich Right-Handers: Grant Anderson, Trevor Megill, Jacob Misiorowski, Tobias Myers, Chad Patrick, Freddy Peralta (Game 2 starter), Quinn Priester, Abner Uribe Left-Handers: Aaron Ashby (Game 1 opener), Robert Gasser, Jared Koenig, José Quintana Dodgers Catchers: Ben Rortvedt, Will Smith Infielders: Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman, Freddie Freeman, Hyeseong Kim, Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas Outfielders: Alex Call, Justin Dean, Kiké Hernández, Teoscar Hernández, Andy Pages Two-Way Player: Shohei Ohtani Right-Handers: Ben Casparius, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan, Blake Treinen, Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Game 2 starter) Left-Handers: Anthony Banda, Jack Dreyer, Clayton Kershaw, Blake Snell (Game 1 starter), Alex Vesia, Justin Wrobleski View the full article
