Beyond the home run: The art of timely hitting
In the World Series opener, the Tampa Bay Rays went 0‑for‑6 with runners in scoring position (RISP) and lost 3‑2 to the Milwaukee Brewers, exposing a rare clutch weakness for a team that led MLB with a .283 RISP average this season. The article contrasts that lapse with the Chicago White Sox’s own RISP struggles—.243 average and a 29.2% strikeout rate—highlighting how the Brewers used timely hits and aggressive baserunning to secure the win. It argues the White Sox must balance power with consistent contact, citing potential free‑agent options like Luis Arráez, while noting that even elite RISP hitters can falter under pressure.

A few thoughts about the Cubs and Tyler Austin
The Cubs signed 34‑year‑old Tyler Austin in December as a right‑handed backup first baseman for Michael Busch, banking on his .293 average and 85 homers from six NPB seasons.

Austin only appeared in a workout photo and a Feb. 17 uniform photo before being placed on the 60‑day injured list, turning 35 while sidelined. As the team evaluates its 2027 roster, Austin joins the list of 17 Cubs free agents or option players this offseason.
