Under manager Craig Counsell’s stewardship, this Milwaukee ball club excels at preventing runs. With a three-headed monster at the top of their rotation, the Brewers can shut down even the most potent of lineups, not to mention the lights-out bullpen that

Before the Division Series start, let's quickly recap the first round of the playoffs. The Blue Jays head to Minneapolis to take on the AL Central Champion Twins, who are looking to end an 18 game losing streak in the postseason dating back to 2004 (mostly at the hand of the Yankees.) Both teams boast solid starting pitching (Gausman, Berríos, Bassitt for Toronto

Baltimore’s Hoover. Mr. Oriole. The Human Vacuum Cleaner. The greatest defensive third baseman to ever grace the diamond. Baseball lost a legend this week. Brooks Robinson was not only a Hall of Fame baseball player, he was a Hall of Fame human being. From Little Rock, Arkansas, Brooks Robinson exemplified the Oriole Way for 23 seasons as a ballplayer, and many more as a broadcaster and as a member of the Baltimore community. He amassed 2,848 hits, 268 HR, 1357 RBI, 18 All-Star appearances, the 1964

Wednesday October 17th, 1979 @ Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, MD It all comes down to this. Game Seven. Chuck Tanner’s Terrors have forced a winner-take-all battle against the Earl of Baltimore and his Birds. These Pirates, who call themselves the ‘Family’, have rallied from a 3-1 deficit, besting two of the Orioles’ aces, Mike Flanagan and Jim Palmer. Can they make it three in a row? Standing in their way will be one of the breakout stars of this postseason for Baltimore, 25 year old Scott

The series now heads back to Baltimore, with the odds still against Chuck Tanner’s Terrors. To try and close out this series for the Orioles, manager Earl Weaver turns to one of his most dependable starters, Jim Palmer (10 - 6 3.30 ERA 155

Sunday October 14th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium Pittsburgh, PA On the verge of elimination, the Pittsburgh Pirates have just received heartbreaking news; manager Chuck Tanner’s mother passed away. It is undoubtedly a blow to 'the Family’, but perhaps the grief may serve as a rallying cry. The Buccos will need to stay together if they want to do what just three teams have done in World Series history (as of 1979); come back from a 3 - 1 deficit. And do they have a tall task ahead of

Earl Weaver's squad has the advantage, and their bats came alive in game three. Big Jim Bibby (12 - 4 2.81 ERA 137 IP) takes the hill for Chuck Tanner’s Pirates, looking to replicate his strong postseason debut. For Baltimore, it will be young righty Dennis Martinez

Rain is in the forecast for tonight's game, but with the turf only a downpour will cause a delay (spoiler alert, there will be a downpour). Tonight's pitching matchup will consist of two lefties. Young hurler Scott McGregor (13 - 6 3.35 ERA 174 IP) takes the hill coming off one of the best performances of his career against the

Thursday October 11th, 1979 @ Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, MD The outfield is torn up, the warning track riddled with puddles, the infield is choppy, and the grass is wet. Suffice it to say, Memorial Stadium is a mess. But that won't stop the World Series. The Baltimore Orioles jumped out to an early lead in game one, but they just barely held off the Pirates late rally to secure a 5-4 victory. The Pittsburgh bullpen kept the O's bats quiet, while the offense chipped away at the lefty

A rematch of the 1971 Fall Classic, Earl Weaver's Baltimore Orioles look to get the edge on Chuck Tanner's Pittsburgh Pirates. These are two evenly matched ballclubs, the champions of their respective leagues. They share a lot of similarities in roster construction, boasting star power

Friday Afternoon, October 5th, 1979 @ Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA After two thrilling extra-inning victories in Cincinnati, the Pirates are headed home on the precipice of another World Series berth. The 'Family', as they are referred to by their loyal fans, have excelled in all facets of the game: great starting pitching (Candelaria and Bibby), tremendous defense (Foli, Madlock, and Ott), timely hitting (Stargell and Parker), and clutch bullpen heroics (Tekulve, Jackson, and

October 3, 1979 @ Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio The National League rivals are back at it again after the Pirates won in dramatic fashion in game one, thanks in large part to MVP Willie Stargell's 3-run homer in extra innings. This will be another game that will come down to the wire, and like game one, it will be a pitchers' duel. But unlike game one, this is a bit of an unexpected matchup, with neither starter being in their teams rotation for the majority of the season. For John

The Reds have had the advantage so far this decade, defeating the Buccos in the previous three series with a combined 9-2 record. Both of these teams have dominated their respective divisions throughout this decade (6th NL east crown for PIT, 5th NL West crown for CIN), but the teams look a bit different from their previous matchups.

The Angels staved off elimination in walk off fashion in game three, but they have their work cut out for them if they want to force a game five. The Orioles send their number four starter to the hill, but lefty Scott McGregor (13 - 6 3.35 ERA 174 IP) would be a number two on most staffs. The LA born workhorse doesn't have a reputation as a big-game pitcher, but this start would begin a string of postseason excellence. Opposing him for the Angels is righty Chris Knapp (5 - 5 5.51 ERA 98 IP), who

Facing elimination, they send workhorse lefty Frank Tanana (7 - 5 3.89 ERA 90 IP) to the mound, hoping he will recapture some of his pre-injury glory (averaged 16 - 12 2.86 ERA 259 IP per season over the previous 5 seasons).

Baltimore sends their Cy Young winner, lefty Mike Flanagan (23 - 9 3.08 ERA 265 IP), to the mound. He has been a workhorse all season, but has been known to lose it quickly if he really gets in trouble. Opposing him is California righty Dave Frost (16 - 10 3.57 ERA 239 IP), who is having a career year, unfortunately the only one of his relatively short career
