More challenges for the sportswriting community.

  • After two straight walk-off hrs in the NLCS and 4 dingers by the Red Sox in game seven, can we stop talking about the importance of Small Ball? Buster Olney was undoubtedly pontificating about how Damon has to just make contact, move the runners over, cut down on his swing and make sure he gets one run in, get a productive out.
  • After the Red Sox came back from a 19-8 loss and a 3-0 hole in the series, and after the Astros came back to win 3 in a row after being in a 2-0 hole to a 105-win team, can we stop talking about the importance of Momentum?
  • After three of the Final Four in baseball are the three best Offensive teams, and the average score in the playoffs is a football score, can we stop talking about how Good Pitching always beats Good Hitting?
