Trick or treat!
Halloween.
Hereās a new Smallball to read.
If you donāt,
I donāt careā¦
Youāll miss highlights everywhere!
Maybe we should just get going withā¦
MLB ā¾ļø
The World Series is almost over!
On Tuesday, we watched the Dodgers win Game 3 in 18 innings to take a 2ā1 series lead.
But in Game 4, the Blue Jays stormed back to win, 6ā2, and tie the series.
It wasnāt Shohei Ohtaniās best game. He didnāt reach base as a hitter and gave up four runs in six innings as a pitcher.
š§ Want to hear something wild about baseball stats?
Ohtani gave up four runs. But he was only pitching when two of them actually scored! How is that possible?
Because when a new pitcher takes over, any runners already on base are called inherited runners.
If an inherited runner scores, the first pitcher gets the blame! And there were two inherited runners on base when Ohtani left.
Sounds kind of like the ghost runners we learned about as part of baseballās recent rule changes!
Okay, back to the action.
š„ With the series tied 2ā2, want to see who won Game 5?
Make it 3ā2, Blue Jays.
And they have a chance to win the World Series in Game 6 tonight (Friday) in Toronto.
If the Dodgers win, theyāll play Game 7 tomorrow (Saturday).
Letās move on to theā¦
NBA š
Best game: Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both among the 10 best basketball players in the world.
And last night, Stephās Warriors and Giannisā Bucks played in Milwaukee.
Who came away with the winā¦ and who turned into a pumpkin?
š„ Hit play on these highlights!
Okayā¦ that was a mean trick. Giannis missed the game with a knee injury.
But Ryan Rollins stepped up with a career-high 32 points to lead the Bucks to a win!
Biggest news: Speaking of 30-point gamesā¦
There are seven players right now averaging at least 30 points per game. Giannis is one of them.
š§ Can you name the team at least one of the other six plays for?
Drop your answer in the comments! š¬
Wildest play: Remember the āNo LeBron, no Luka, no problemā thing?
(Pssshhh, Austin Reaves plays for the Lakers if you still need an answer for that question above.)
He āonlyā had 28 points on Wednesday night when LA played Minnesota.
š„ But these were two of them!
That buzzer beater has us excited forā¦
College Football Week 10 šš
Of the top 25 teams, 20 are playing this week.
And that includes three matchups between ranked teams:
#9 Vanderbilt at #20 Texas
#14 Tennessee hosting #18 Oklahoma
#17 Cincinnati at #24 Utah
Vanderbiltās quarterback is Diego Pavia. We donāt know what heās dressing up as for Halloweenā¦
š„ But we do know heās a wizard who can make plays like this!
Yes, there was holding. And no, the touchdown didnāt count. But still.
And speaking of wizardsā¦
š„ Want to see the Georgia Bulldogs (who play Florida this weekend) watch a magic show?
Now, letās finish withā¦
NFL Week 9 šš
Thursday Night Football: the 2ā5 Baltimore Ravens vs. the 2ā6 Miami Dolphins.
Sounds boring, right?
Well, the Ravens may have a losing recordā¦ but they got star quarterback Lamar Jackson back. He missed the last few games with an injury.
And heās always worth watching.
š„ Click here to see the highlights!
Make that four touchdowns for Lamar, and now a 3ā5 record for the Ravens. Weāll see if they can stay hot and get back in the playoff mix over the next few weeks.
The other games this weekend that might mean something for the playoffs?
Vikings (3ā4) at Lions (5ā2)
Colts (7ā1) at Steelers (4ā3)
Broncos (6ā2) at Texans (3ā4)
Chiefs (5ā3) at Bills (5ā2)
That last game is Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen, so it should be a real treat.
Happy Halloween, and have a great weekend!
