Two gems but HF1 is one of the best in the tournament, despite the essay over his left shoulder.

The Dodgers can't stop, won't stop as they add Kirby Yates to the bullpen. LAD could split into an "A" and a "B" team and the "B" team could beat a lot of other teams.

2 of the 8 are from the same 2 game series (Mets @ NYY).

I see a few new models this year (are they called "models"?) and some we've seen before. Are the ones who have been with the company longer on a different pay scale? Do they have different job titles?

Booooo!

Here are the start times for every team:

They still might as the ROKU games haven't been announced.

I hope that Austin powers through some big innings for the Mets.

ESPN announced some of the Sundays they will screw up. At least we don't have to worry about this until May:

Are they twins?

I'm hoping that at least one voter switches. Pete has enough covers. Acuna looks great and it's a distinctive pose. We have plenty of Pete swinging.

Two covers with colors in the lettering.

A clever (perhaps too obvious but clever) headline, a suitable subheadline, and a great action photo capturing a key moment in the season.

"No Mercy" features a great picture.

Hats off (or whatever they wear on top of their heads in Stockholm) to the TCB team for providing a historical perspective to the current competition.

Jesse Winker for the win and maybe the tournament.

How is this close? I needed a break from reading everything on the Lindor cover (did Biden say the "fluke" line)

Good comments. I subscribe to The Athletic and find his work to be nearly worthless. He's just making guesses like he's picking football games and it's without any accountability. I'd rather read Jayson Stark going out of his mind about the first game in history to last 2:38 and 45 seconds.

Can't believe that was 2009, time flies , great story

Neither can I. Thanks, metirish.

The important thing is that your favorite baseball team is not a loser.

Lindor v. Lindor (+Richardson).
The Mets strength staff must love the top cover.
