I like Dusty but as a Giants fan he made a bad decision in 1993 and 2002. I think history repeats itself. Braves in 7 in extra innings. Sorry Mattress Mack, again.

If it goes to a 7th game, I think the Astros would be awful hard to beat at home. If the Braves are gonna do it, they’re going to have to do it in Game 6. I think Mack may be smiling when this one’s over.

I like Dusty. But must admit, the way he manages pitchers gets he head scratching and rolling my eyes (2002, 2003-NCLS Bartman game) and most recently, game 4 this WS.
Comes down to can the Astros win 2 home games before the Braves win 1 road game? Plus, played in November .
Mack has his bet hedged with insurance.

I've bought furniture from Mattress Mac a time or two and I actually got to talk to him a couple of times....His TV's adds back in the day were not "acts"... He talks and acts the same way in person as he does on TV, although his language in person can be a little more colorful and maybe not always politically correct.
Dusty just can’t win the big one. It’s a wrap. See you next year. Let’s go Giants.
Good for the Braves! They didn’t seem as cocky. I’m ready to forgive them for getting Maddux from the Cubs as well as MVP Soler, an ex-Cub
https://www.aol.com/news/mlb-locks-players-officially-initiates-050938062.htmlMLB locked out its players just after midnight ET Thursday, triggering the league’s first work stoppage since the 1994 strike that canceled the World Series. It is a long expected, but still significant, escalation of the tense negotiations to craft a new collective bargaining agreement and shape the future of the sport.
The existing CBA, an expansive document that governs everything from payroll rules to travel accommodations, expired Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. ET. Minutes later, the league moved to lock out its players — a move that commissioner Rob Manfred strongly hinted at last month, reflecting the league’s preference to control the timing of a work stoppage and avoid missing games. Team owners across American sports have come to favor the approach of initiating a lockout in the offseason rather than allowing players the opportunity to gain leverage and wreak havoc on the season by going on strike when games are on the schedule.
Billionaires vs. millionaires, again.
Here are some interesting stats:

I think these negotiations are going to be difficult.
Yes please, all of the above. Biggest issue I have with BB is that the games drag out way too long with pitchers/hitters farting around all the time. The folks saying keep it as it is are whistling past the graveyard IMO, because they're losing the younger audience that doesn't have the patience for it. Manfred has commented on it many times.* Rule changes. Universal DH? 15 second pitch clock? Computer laser umpires? Probably won't be discussed much because the commissioner can unilaterally implement these rules if desired next year.
