Re: 2023 MLB Postseason - October is here
fwiw. and maybe this is just me and my perspective, but the Rangers going nuclear and being 7-0 so far in the playoffs is taking some of sting out of them housing the Orioles like they did.

Re: 2023 MLB Regular Season
Has a team ever thrown a no-hitter in the same game a guy homered in his first official career at-bat? Because it might be happening near the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers.

First base umpire in Phils-Nats game has had three calls overturned in the first three innings, including two in about a minute's time, trying to keep Nick Castellanos off first. None of them have really been close either. Edited to add still shot tweets: https://twitter.com/KevinOnCFB/status/168902...

Here's a review from Consequence that gives a lot of detail, but I guess not really any spoilers.
