Astros at Phillies, 5:03 PM PDT, TV: Fox
The Astros hand the ball to RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (4-2, 2.27 ERA regular season; 0-0, 2.45 ERA postseason). He’ll face the Phillies’ RHP Noah Syndergaard (5-2, 4.12 ERA regular season; 0-0, 1.69 ERA postseason) LHP Ranger Suárez (10-7, 3.65 ERA regular season; 1-0, 1.86 ERA postseason). The postponement helped the Phillies, as Syndergaard hasn’t pitched much recently and probably couldn’t have gone more than three or four innings. Suárez has been a workhorse for the Fightin’ Phils.
A Jeter home run, an A-Rod home run following the first use of instant replay, the first and last instance of the Cy Young Award being earned by the brother (Gaylord) of a previous winner (Jim) and a whole lot of hirings and firings of managers. That’s what took place October 31 in baseball history.
On November 1 in baseball history Campanella won the first of three MVP Awards, Koufax won the last of his three Cy Young Awards, in 2007 two Japanese pitchers combined for a perfect game to win the Japan Series and in 2015 the Royals won the World Series for the first time in 30 years.
In Dodgers news, Justin Turner is this year’s winner of the Roberto Clemente Award. Congratulations to him and his wife Kourtney!

Not watching, but it seems McCullers has his gopher ball working tonight.
My goodness. Shutting out the Astros is quite a feat.
Great game for the fans!

Yay!!

Good start. Go Phillies.
Better and better.
Woo-Hoo.
Well. 2-0 Phils on a one pitch Harper HR!
Harper!
Great start for Suarez. Two pitches. Two outs.
Official word:
Postponed until tomorrow. Phooey, I wanted to watch baseball in between handing out candy.
The Halloween decorations here are the most abundant in (my) living memory.
Hallowe’en fun:

For some reason I can’t access Twitter this morning. I blame Elon Musk.
Are you sure you’re not a bot, or did you just fail to pay for your blue check mark?
Sure of the first and VERY sure I didn’t pay for a check mark. It’s now working after restarting the computer. Good thing, as AdBlock Plus wasn’t working either and that’s a lot more important to me than Twitter.
