Who stands to gain from Guardians-Yankees Game 2 rainout?

Thanks to Thursday’s rainout following Wednesday’s scheduled day off, the Yankees and Guardians find themselves in a situation you just about never see in the postseason: If the American League Division Series goes a full five games, then they’ll be required to play games on four consecutive days, today through Monday.

That’s not a terribly unusual circumstance in the regular season, when teams squeeze 162 games into about 180 days. But in the postseason? It’s all but unheard of in 21st-century baseball, as regular days off and travel days allow teams to use their best relievers more aggressively.

All of which means that for the Yankees and Guardians, there are some real repercussions here. Consider how it’s going to break down for each team.

Yordan gets the Bonds treatment

After Yordan Alvarez hit his second go-ahead homer in as many games, the Mariners intentionally walked him in the eighth inning despite there already being a runner at first base. It was only the sixth time that has happened in postseason history.

Mariners continue to make a splash

From M/V Juliooooooooooo to M/V Mariners “Good Vibes Only,” 21 ferries in Washington temporarily have new names in celebration of postseason baseball’s return to Seattle.

Down but not out: 0-2 comebacks

The Mariners find themselves trailing 0-2 in the ALDS to the Astros, but hope is not lost. In Division Series history, 10 teams have rallied back to win three straight games and the series.

Remembering ‘The Slide’

Sid Bream provided an unforgettable finish 30 years ago today when he slid home with the winning run to cap a three-run ninth inning for the Braves in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS against the Pirates.
