That was a very full, and very exciting day of playoff baseball …
BOTH of the Yankees and Padres had late, would-be-game-tying home runs come up just short, of the type that’ll be remembered for a long time as they were eliminated. Painful, painful stuff. For the Padres, it was Manny Machado sending a 100 mph pitch out to center, where the short wall gave Garrett Mitchell a chance to be a hero:GARRETT MITCHELL TAKES AWAY A GAME-TYING HOME RUN ? t.co/UVjEXP3VA7

— Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) October 8, 2026 The Guardians stayed alive with a decisive Game 3 win over the White Sox, who’ll get another crack at their first home playoff-series-clincher in 106 years tonight. Theirs is the only Division Series still underway. That’s because the Dodgers beat the Braves again 4-1, concluding that series, and setting up the NLCS match-up that has felt preordained since June: Dodgers versus Brewers. It’s the third time in a row for the Brewers facing the Dodgers when they reach the NLCS (including the second season in a row), and they lost the previous two. Gotta believe the owners are rooting for it to happen for a third time so that they can continue to sell the idea that the Dodgers’ financial advantage is simply too much to overcome (ignoring, of course, questions about how much of that advantage came from questionable insurance dealings). The NLCS kicks off on Sunday. As for whom I’ll be rooting, you have to be ELITE levels of douche to get me to even consider rooting for the Brewers, but these guys sure now how to make it close:Dodgers celebrate beating the Braves like it’s a Tuesday in July t.co/MmGQm3Fn17

— Nicolas Villamil (@nickvillamil_) October 8, 2026 Lefty relief ace Adrian Morejon, who’ll be one of the top free agents this offseason, had been out for the Padres in Game 3 with what his manager was calling “shoulder stickiness” (and I took that to mean it just didn’t feel quite right; but then his pitching coach said it was a little fatigue and could go … so … ), and didn’t pitch in Game 4 despite seven other teammates doing so. That would be concerning in its own right, but this also looks a bit odd:Swollen ass hand t.co/bmm7DsSg0t

— Mick Akers (@mickakers) October 7, 2026 Given the continued cratering of the local RSN model, this seems like a pretty big win:While viewership was up for national MLB game broadcasts in 2026, the local game audience was down slightly, likely around 1% or less ⚾ Across the 29 U.S-based MLB teams, 17 saw gains, while streaming climbed to 13% of the overall local audience.

— Sports Business Journal (@SBJ) October 6, 2026 It means that advances in streaming coverage locally were almost enough to offset any losses in cable. The floor was coming eventually, and it seems like we might be there. What MLB hopes is that they’ll continue to make incremental advances in streaming locally, and significant advances in streaming nationally.
