Agree that a flat fastball will get rocked, especially if it is down the middle of the plate, but if a fastball has some movement on it, especially late movement, and a pitcher can hit their spots, it can be a very effective pitch. My DD has a screwball "tail" on her 2-seam fastball and it drives me crazy when coaches refuse to call it because "we don't throw fastballs"...
Cubs win World Series !!!

what struck me about this series in particular,
was the lack of communication on fly balls on both teams...
and also, my DD, innocently asked: "Why don't baseball players shake hands after the game, ever?"
I did not have a response for that one...
lastly, can't remember a series where a team picked-off as many 1B runners,
as the Cubs did this year. Pretty impressive...

Lot of talking goes on in MLB, just stuff most the time.

Ha! Nothing you say can reduce the glow I feel today. But it sure did feel that way.
Just an amazing game to watch.

I just hope MLB doesn't do anything stupid like go on a strike next season.
