31 OCT 2026 · Fantasy Baseball Live! – October 31, 2026 – 9:15 am ET
Segment 1 – The Brewers are the World Series Champions
1.They made it look pretty easy. They came extremely close to a sweep. Were you surprised at how easily the Brewers took care of the Rays?
2.Williams Contreras wins the MVP, but it could have gone to a bunch of people – Cooper Pratt hit .354, Miz won two games, and dominated in Game 5, Abner Uribe pitched 5.1 with 6 strikeouts and no runs. Aaron Ashby pitched 5.2 innings with 9 strikeouts and gave up no hits.
a.I would have loved to see it go to a reliever. It felt like once the Brewers went to the bullpen, the game was over. Your thoughts?
3.Final thoughts on the game.
Segment 2 – Viewership was way down – 25% from last season on average
Metric2025 World Series (Dodgers vs. Blue Jays)2026 World Series (Brewers vs. Rays)
Series Average (U.S.)15.49 million11.83 million
Series Length7 games5 games
Highest Single Game25.45 million (Game 7)14.22 million (Game 5)
Lowest Single Game11.15 million (Game 4)8.33 million (Game 3)
•Note 10% of the viewers were from Wisconsin. It helped pad the numbers, but it further hurt the advertising rates to MLB.
•No two ways to say it, it wasn’t good for Major League Baseball. It was better than everyone feared, but since most of the money from the WS goes to the league, it hurt. It also suggest that leveling the playing field with salary cap could have more situations like this. Thoughts.
•In the end, I think MLB continues with the salary gap argument as they are looking for structural changes to gain more certainty over profitability. But it will make more small-market teams involved, and with that, MLB MUST DO A BETTER JOB at marketing smaller-market teams. People will watch an NFL playoff game between Buffalo and Jacksonville – just because.
Segment 3 – Free Agency
Monday, the free agent doors open, and with a lockout almost absurd for Dec. 2nd, we should see some signing. Let’s interrupt our draft for this week and pick where these guys sign. I guessed at the Japanese guys – well, my AI assistant guessed.

Segments 1 and 2 – Review playoff games
The Brewers sweep the Dodgers.
1.WOW…Just WOW.
2.I’ve read a bunch of articles about the Dodgers need to make changes, etc to compete. Do you think they do?
a.They did win 100 games and their best player was hurt.
b.But, after Skubal, their great pitching just didn’t get it done. Yamamoto lasted only 2.2 innings and 75 pitches including a 12-pitch at-bat with Jake Bauers that did him in. Blake Snell was ok, but still gave up 4 earned runs in 6 innings (3 HR), and Glasnow 4 ER in 4.1 innings. Was it the Yamamoto outing that changed the tide?
c.The hitting also failed – Ohtani hit .192 but did hit a home run in game 4. Freddie Freeman hit .192, Will Smith hit .097, Teoscar - .200, Betts .207 and Max Muncy was platooned.
d.Let’s face it, they are an older team most of their players are on long-term contracts. There’s an old saying that was penned by Earnest Hemmingway in 1926 in the Sun Also Rises. Mike Campbell was asked how he went bankrupt. He answered – gradually, and then suddenly. It’s just the way it is.
e.They do have incredible talent on the farm. It’ll be interesting to see what they do in their return – no changes, promote the kids, or add some veterans. What do you think?
Rays vs. Guardians – Guards 2-1
•The Rays haven’t been able to score and the Guardians have done just enough.
•Are you surprised?
•How does this end?
World Series
oTB/Cle vs. Brewers – Yes, the Brewers continue as the home team
oWho when’s and in how many games?
Segments 3 and 4 – Let’s keep drafting

Segment 1 and 2 – Review playoff games
Rays beat the Yankees – 3 – 0
1.Rice and Volpe showed up, but nobody else did for the Yankees. Are you surprised that the Yankees got swept?
2.A lot of people suggesting the Yankees should move on from Aaron Boone and/or Brian Cashman. Do you think they should? Will they?
The Brewers beat the Padres – 3 – 1
1.Did the better team just win here?
2.The Padres seem like they are in a tough spot. They are built to make the playoffs as a wild card team, but are they good enough to make it through to the World Series?
The Dodgers beat the Braves – 3 – 1
1.People freaked out after the Braves beat the Dodgers in the second game, but they were in control in games 3 and 4. How much of a chance did the Braves really have?
2.Mahle ended the season very strong. How do you view him as a starting pitcher – Top _________ starter?
The Guardians came back from 0-2 to beat the White Sox (3-2)
1.Their White Sox luck finally ran out. Here’s my take:
1)They just strike out too much:
Game – 3 – They struck out 19 times in 32 at-bats
Game 4 – They struck out 12 times in 33 at-bats
Game 5 – They struck out 21 times in 30 at-bats
Overall – 52 strikeouts in 108 plate appearances (48% strikeout rate)!
2)They used Grant Taylor all wrong. They never pitched him for more than 2 innings in any one game for six months. They threw him four innings in game 1, and he never recovered for the rest of the series. How can you do that to your best arm?
3)Just not enough pitching.
2.Your thoughts?
