I wasn't aware

there's no "ghost runner" at the start of each half-inning (or, "Little League rule," as I call it) in postseason ball.

Good.

I totally forgot this year and was yelling at the TV tech dude for not lighting up second base.

Certainly, I noticed it last year, but I just forgot.

I'm 69. I do things like that.

You gotta feel sorry for Phillies pitcher Orion Kerkering. Error fielding the broken bat hit right back at him, then making the mistake throwing home when he could have comfortably made the out at first. Brain fart, I guess
