On the MLB The Show podcast with Matt:

The way that Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora had managed the 18 inning affair on Friday night at Dodgers Stadium from a hitting stand point where he missed not executing a double switch properly and didn’t make the right substitutions so heading into extra innings you in that Sox line up missing JD Martinez, Rafael Devers, Mitch Moreland, Steve Pearce.

So they really took a couple of weapons away and also no Andrew Benintendi as a pinch hitter. The Red Sox took away a lot of their weapons early in that game and they went with a makeshift line up that included having the pitcher bat through the game and the Sox kind of piecemealed the game and lost by a run in the end.

The last Cuban star on the Miami Marlins was the late pitcher José Fernández. The very talented 24-year-old died in a boating crash off the coast of Miami Beach on September 25, 2016. On October 22, 2018, the Marlins made it official when they introduced the Mesa brothers, Victor Victor and Victor Jr., during a press conference hosted by the Marlins’ top executive officer and part owner Derek Jeter. The Mesa brothers are the two sons of Cuban legend Victor Mesa.

“When I was doing the showcase, I was thinking this could be my ballpark,” Victor Jr. said through a translator. “It was beautiful. I felt like a big leaguer.”

Victor Victor is 22-years-old and Victor Jr. is 17-years old. They are both outfielders. Jeter is hoping that these two will help to rebuilt a struggling franchise that were founded as an expansion team in the National League in 1993 and won two World Series in 1997 and 2003. Victor Victor is the most advanced and closer of the two brothers to be playing next year with the Marlins.The Marlins were last in attendance this season–#30 in MLB with 10,013 fans per game. The team finished last in the National League East this season with a record of 63-98.

The Mesa brothers could bring back the interest of the large Cuban community in Miami and Southern Florida

That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast: Brewers shut out Dodgers have a shot to win this series; A’s part ways with flagship station

On That’s Amaury’s Commentary:

#1 The Milwaukee Brewers look like a dominating club. They took game one of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers then dropped game two, but came back and shutout the Dodgers 4-0 in game three and this is after they swept the Colorado Rockies during the NLDS.

#2 The Red Sox and the Astros are both tied in the ALCS. The Sox tied the series with a 7-5 win and play in Houston tonight.

#3 The Oakland A’s decided to part way wit their flagship station 95.7FM the Game. The A’s said the lack of “promotion and interest” by the station was the reason behind the move.

#4 The A’s are without a flagship station and this is going to be a big concern. Where can they go? They’re considering streaming their games.

#5 Should team president David Kaval and the A’s considered staying at The Game until they find another radio station? Right now, the A’s are nomads for radio.

On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 The Milwaukee Brewers made work of the Colorado Rockies, sweeping the Rox in three games and two of those contests were shutouts to advance the Brew Crew to the NLCS.

#2 The Braves in game four clung onto one last hope after being down 3-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but like in all shorts series that goes a max of five games, the Dodgers snuffed out any hope for the Braves’ chances to knot the series up at two games apiece with a convincing 7-2 win to take a 3-1 series and advance to the NLCS.

#3 In the ALDS, the Houston Astros–just like Amaury predicted–dominated with a convincing three-game sweep and there was no mercy rule in game three as the Astros took batting practice off Cleveland in a 11-3 victory.

#4 The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees were all knotted up at one game apiece going into game three of the ALDS on Monday night at Yankee Stadium. The Sox wasted no time meeting the ball off Yankees starter Luis Servrino and plastered the Bronx Bombers 16-1 in a laugher to take a 2-1 series lead.
