2265 - We start the first draft of the 2027 Season

Fantasy Baseball Live – October 11, 2026

Segment 1 and 2 – Review playoff games

Rays beat the Yankees – 3 – 0
1.Rice and Volpe showed up, but nobody else did for the Yankees. Are you surprised that the Yankees got swept?
2.A lot of people suggesting the Yankees should move on from Aaron Boone and/or Brian Cashman. Do you think they should? Will they?

The Brewers beat the Padres – 3 – 1
1.Did the better team just win here?
2.The Padres seem like they are in a tough spot. They are built to make the playoffs as a wild card team, but are they good enough to make it through to the World Series?

The Dodgers beat the Braves – 3 – 1
1.People freaked out after the Braves beat the Dodgers in the second game, but they were in control in games 3 and 4. How much of a chance did the Braves really have?
2.Mahle ended the season very strong. How do you view him as a starting pitcher – Top _________ starter?
The Guardians came back from 0-2 to beat the White Sox (3-2)
1.Their White Sox luck finally ran out. Here’s my take:
1)They just strike out too much:
Game – 3 – They struck out 19 times in 32 at-bats
Game 4 – They struck out 12 times in 33 at-bats
Game 5 – They struck out 21 times in 30 at-bats
Overall – 52 strikeouts in 108 plate appearances (48% strikeout rate)!
2)They used Grant Taylor all wrong. They never pitched him for more than 2 innings in any one game for six months. They threw him four innings in game 1, and he never recovered for the rest of the series. How can you do that to your best arm?
3)Just not enough pitching.
2.Your thoughts?
