Like It or Not, Baseball’s Instant-Knockout Game Seems Here to Stay – New York Times
The next one comes Wednesday night in Phoenix, with the Arizona Diamondbacks playing host to the Colorado Rockies. Maybe the starters, Arizona’s Zack Greinke and Colorado’s Jon Gray, can stick around longer than Severino and the Twins’ Ervin Santana, who made a dubious sort of history: Never before had the starters in a winner-take-all game both been gone by the third inning. That is knockout baseball, though, the kind of…

As Baseball Playoffs Begin, a Question Looms: Are There Enough Red Towels? – New York Times
One way, new for this postseason, is placing GPS units in every truck.
