During his three-plus seasons in the major leagues, the Chicago Cubs center fielder has been known to throw his bat or helmet after making an out as he tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve. But so far this season, those outward displays have been few and far between.

Pete Crow-Armstrong recorded his first 5-Star catch of the season yesterday. This ball off Jacob Young had a 5% catch probability, requiring PCA to cover 68 feet in 3.9 seconds to make the sliding grab.

Crow-Armstrong's 4.5% walk rate, the fifth-worst mark among 145 qualifiers for the batting title, surely played some role as pitchers adjusted and began to retire him with more regularity. Crow-Armstrong hit .265/.302/.544 during the season's first half, providing an outstanding 25 home runs and 27 stolen bases (in 31 attempts).

I didn't really get a chance to back that statement up with that has nothing to do with Doc, that has nothing to do with Shohei, any of the players over there. I love Mookie Betts; I look up to him like crazy. Freddie has only ever been great to me. If anything, those are the guys that have given those fans a reason to be fans.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays combined to provide an all-time World Series matchup, as evident by viewership records in the United States and Canada. There were 27.3 million viewers who tuned in to watch the winner-take-all Game 7 on Fox, making it the most-watched World Series game since 2017. The Fall Classic and MLB postseason as a whole also had their highest viewership in eight years.
