Most of the games weren’t terribly competitive, but I thought that was a pretty fun World Series. Maybe I just enjoyed Jorge Soler doing his thing. I feel like a broken record at this point, but I think it’s important to remind people that the Braves didn’t “fix” Soler. He was “fixed” before the deadline which allowed the Royals to get anything for him. After a dismal start to the year, he found his power stroke, with the help of the Royals coaching staff, and hit six homers in nine games (nice?) before the deadline to bring back a live arm at a time when most everybody was happy to trade Soler for a handshake with the guy at Rawlings who inspects the balls.
Lesky’s Notes: The rest of the teams exist again!
