The MLB World Series has concluded in dramatic fashion, with the Los Angeles Dodgers beating the Tampa Bay Rays in six games. We recently discussed what made this year’s season of baseball so different from any other, what with it being a considerably shortened season and the absence of fans due to Covid-19. But against all odds, the 2020 season has come to an end with the Los Angeles Dodgers as the number one team in the league. We’re going to break down the most critical parts of the series for both teams, their biggest successes and shortcomings, and what led to the Dodgers’ eventual win. 

The series got off to a very strong start for LA, who had their ace Clayton Kershaw at the helm for pitching. Kershaw has built up a reputation of being one of the best pitchers in baseball right now, with three Cy Young awards and an MVP to his credit, but he’s also become rather infamous for failing to perform in the postseason. The ghost of Kershaw past seemed to be exorcised for game one however, as he threw six strong innings and only gave up one run. The Dodgers’ offense was also dominant against the Rays’ pitching for this game, as a consistent round of base hits combined with some long balls allowed LA to accrue eight total runs. Although the Rays were able to get some runs of their own, three in total, game one was the Dodgers’ game to win. 

For game two, the Rays wanted to make sure that they avoided the mistakes that they made with game one, while also showing exactly why they made it to the World Series in the first place. With Blake Snell on the mound, the Rays weren’t about to make the same pitching mistakes that they made in game one. After a pretty strong four innings from Snell, he began to waver in the fifth after giving up a walk and then a two-run home run immediately after. Not wanting to stick with a pitcher that’s beginning to come apart, especially in the World Series, the Rays went to their young bullpen to close out the latter half of the game. On the side of offense, the Rays rode a Brandon Lowe explosion in the form of two home runs to eventually score six runs to the Dodgers’ four. With the series tied and a fifth game now guaranteed, the Rays proved that they weren’t going to make winning the World Series easy for the Dodgers. 

As game three played out it became clear once again where the Dodgers stood in the hierarchy of the MLB, as they put together a game that flexed all of their strengths at once. The young Walker Buehler showed a commendable amount of poise as he pitched an absolute gem of six innings, gathering ten strikeouts, only allowing three hits, and giving up one run. This game really ended up seeming like a repeat of game one, with the Rays’ pitching coming apart due to the Dodgers’ combination of raw power and finesse at the plate. With base hit after base hit coupled with home run after home run, it’s surprising that the Dodgers only put up six runs in their win. The Dodgers proved with this game just how much of a threat their lineup is to the Rays. With a lot of teams in the MLB, you’ll begin to notice that their players that bat later in the order aren’t as impressive offensively as the first few guys in the lineup. The Dodgers proved to be the exception to this pretty much all season, and one could argue that they might have too much talent. With guys like Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, and Cody Bellinger, along with guys like Justin Turner and Corey Seager, the Dodgers are so well-rounded at the plate that they can spread these guys out through the lineup to make for one dangerous batting order. 

Moving on to game four, both teams had a lot at stake that they needed to fight for in order to stay ahead in this series. The Dodgers were on the cusp of taking a 3-1 lead, a lead that would put them in a very good place statistically speaking. The Rays on the other hand were faced with getting the series tied up once again so that they could even think about getting a lead at all in the series. With the stage set, both teams put together perhaps the most dramatic World Series game in the past few years. This game had both teams at their offensive best, with young postseason standouts Corey Seager and Randy Arozarena continuing their record breaking home run clinics and each team just generally putting together good at bats. The most eventful part of the game came in its final moments, with two on, two outs, Brett Phillips at the plate in the bottom of the ninth, and a one run deficit to top it all off, the Rays were at the end of their rope for this game. What happened next would be nothing short of a miracle for the Rays, and an absolute nightmare for the Dodgers. With a ball and two strikes in the count, Phillips got a pitch inside from reliever Kenley Jansen that he didn’t miss, lining it over the infield and into shallow centerfield. As Kevin Kiermaier broke for home and Arozarena followed close behind, the Dodgers center fielder committed one of the strangest fielding errors in recent memory as he practically tossed the ball away from himself, flipping it out of his glove and to his left. This cemented Kiermaier’s run subsequently tying the game, but the errors didn’t stop there for the Dodgers. In the heat of the moment, the Dodgers center fielder rocketed the ball back towards the plate as Arozarena came barreling through third. His throw was off line though, so in an effort to stop the run, first baseman Max Muncy cut off the off-target throw and relayed the ball to the catcher. At this point Arozarena was running for home so fast that he completely stumbled over himself on the third base line, and it looked as if he would be caught in an inning ending rundown with the game tied seven a piece. But luck proved to be on the side of the Rays, as Muncy’s throw came in well to the right of catcher Will Smith, missing his glove and allowing Arozarena to dive into home plate head first to win the game. The Rays obviously felt on top of the world after this incredible sequence of events, and with a guaranteed game six on the horizon, all the Rays had to do was finally take a lead in the series.

Unfortunately for the Rays, the dominance of the Dodgers would continue into game five as LA had Clayton Kershaw back on the mound with the rust of previous Octobers thoroughly shaken off after game one of the series. Kershaw continued his notable postseason performance by going five innings and holding the Rays to the only two runs they were able to score in the game, striking out six batters along the way. It was more of the same for the Dodgers at the plate as well this game, with four runs to their credit and one of them coming from a 434 foot bomb of a home run hit by Max Muncy. One of the biggest faults of the Rays this game was in starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who put up commendable numbers in the regular season but wasn’t able to succeed in the postseason up to this point. The Dodgers took the series lead back once again with this game, and with game six coming up it would be do or die for Tamba Bay.

Compared to the rest of the World Series, game six was perhaps one of the least exciting in terms of offensive performance for both teams. The Rays got off to a very strong start in the first inning of the game, as Randy Arozarena continued his postseason tear with a home run into right field on the second pitch that he saw. From that point on though, both teams seemed like ghosts of their previous selves. For Tampa Bay, their lack of production at the plate was due to the revolving door of pitchers that came out of the Dodgers bullpen, as rookie Tony Gonsolin was yanked in the first inning after proving that he just didn’t have it that night. The situation was flipped for the Dodgers however, as they had to contend with Blake Snell and some of his nastiest pitching all postseason. Snell was able to strikeout nine and only allow two hits in his time up on the mound, shutting down a Dodgers lineup that scored runs like it was nothing. For everyone watching at home, it seemed like Snell would be the man to get the job done for the Rays, but manager Kevin Cash had different ideas. Coming out to the mound in the sixth inning, Cash motioned for the bullpen in a move that stunned the entire baseball world. Snell got taken out of the game after he was absolutely dealing on the mound, and after having thrown only about seventy pitches total. The reactions around the ballpark were nothing short of priceless, as the Dodgers could not have been more pleased and Blake Snell could not have been more aggravated. The aggravation wouldn’t stop there for Tampa Bay, as this move essentially put the nail in the proverbial coffin of the Rays’ World Series chances. After pulling Snell, the Rays immediately gave up the lead when the Dodgers were able to score two quick runs, and every baseball fan in Tampa Bay collectively put their head in their hands and kept it there till the end of the game. As if things couldn’t get any worse for the Rays, Mookie Betts capped off his remarkable season with a towering solo home run in the eight inning, effectively taking all of the wind out of Tampa Bay’s sails. All the Dodgers needed to do at that point was hold the Rays scoreless for one more inning, and with Julio Urías pitching it ended up being a bit easier than some people anticipated. Urías was able to get two very quick outs in the ninth, and with Willy Adames up to bat, it seemed as if the Rays decided to concede the whole series at this point. After whiffing on the first pitch and taking the second for a strike up and in, Adames got a fastball inside and blinked, not even bothering to swing on what could have possibly been the start of something miraculous for the Rays. All they would have needed was a base hit and a bomb from the next guy up, but in this case Tampa Bay just looked like they were done. The Dodgers won the 2020 World Series on the save from Urías, putting the cherry on top of one of baseball’s weirdest seasons. 

With the offseason officially underway, it’s time for the teams that weren’t able to win it all to make the adjustments they need to improve. And with free agency right around the corner, it’ll be interesting to see where each team stacks up come time for the 2021 season.

Who do you think has the best chances of winning the World Series next year? Will the Dodgers continue being the hottest team in baseball or will a new team rise to take their place?

The World Series Is Here and This Year Is Like No Other

World Series 2020
via ktvz.com

Across America, baseball fans are tuning in to the 2020 World Series with their palms sweaty and breath held as they wait to see if the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Tampa Bay Rays are going to take home the biggest prize in baseball. Both teams have demonstrated an immense amount of talent and persistence, as out of the thirty teams in the league these two have proved that they are the best. This season has been particularly challenging for the MLB, as the Covid-19 virus has forced the league to approach this season much differently than others. We’re going to go over some of those challenges, and take a look at both teams to see how they made it this far and if they have what it takes to end the year as champions. 

This year’s baseball season has handled the coronavirus in a number of different ways, most notably being the fact that the season was shortened from 162 games to 60 games for each team. Unfortunately for Major League Baseball, the coronavirus ramped up in intensity right as spring training was underway. As other sports leagues like the NBA and NHL were deciding to postpone their seasons, MLB decided that their regular season would be postponed indefinitely. For the longest time it seemed like there simply wouldn’t be any baseball this year, until sometime in the summer, reports began to circulate that league officials, team representatives, and the MLB Players Association were going to begin deliberation on how to conduct a shortened regular season. After initial deals were shot down by the MLPA, an agreement was finally reached that would allow for a restructured regular season. In addition to the 60 game season, teams would attempt to stay on their respective coasts in order to reduce travel, and fans wouldn’t be allowed inside the parks. Players had the option to opt out of the season for personal health concerns, and a few players, like the Washington Nationals’ Ryan Zimmerman, took advantage of this. Although the league took many precautions to avoid the spread of illness, some outbreaks did still occur within certain clubhouses. This resulted in numerous postponements and a lot of doubleheaders for teams, but luckily players that did get sick were able to recover quickly and the regular season was able to end mostly on schedule.

With the end of the regular season came the playoffs, and this year’s format was also rather different because of the shortened season. More teams were included in the playoffs, and they would have the American League play primarily at San Diego’s Petco Park and the National League would have their playoff games at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium. The playoffs went much smoother than the regular season, as fewer teams and less travel meant that there was a smaller chance of any breakouts. This was a good sign for the World Series, as many people were afraid that it was going to extend into November or even December, but as of right now it’s slated to wrap up close to the end of October like it usually does. 

Speaking of the World Series, it’s happening, like right now. The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently facing the Tampa Bay Rays in a series that’s tied with each team having a win, ensuring that there is going to be at least five games in the series. This year’s World Series is going to be pretty historic no matter the outcome, as the Dodgers haven’t won a World Series since 1988 and the Rays haven’t won one since they were established in 1998. 

This time around the Dodgers are pretty hopeful that this year is finally going to be their year, as they’ve become rather infamous for reaching the postseason every year for the past seven years without a single World Series title to show for it. Everything has seemed to be going in the Dodgers’ favor this season however, which has fans hopeful that they’ll finally come home with the trophy this year. One of the biggest tools in the Dodgers arsenal that’s helped them this year is outfielder Mookie Betts, who the Dodgers acquired from the Boston Red Sox after the 2019 season. Before Betts reached the Dodgers, it was no secret how talented he was both with a bat and in the field. It seems that Los Angeles has unlocked something in Betts that the baseball world has never seen before, as even with the shortened season Betts has been able to craft an MVP level performance. With 16 home runs, 64 RBIs, and a batting average of .292, Betts has shown that he’s worth the $365 million dollar contract that he signed this year. Alongside Betts, the Dodgers also have big bats in the form of Cody Bellinger, Max Muncy, and the dominant Corey Seager, who has hit seven home runs in the postseason alone. When paired with the pitching talents of veteran Clayton Kershaw and the young Walker Buehler, it makes total sense that the Dodgers won 43 of their 60 games this season. Now fans just have to wait to see if they can finally stick the landing. 

In the case of Tampa Bay, the Rays are in the World Series for the first time since 2008 when they lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, and they’re in the playoffs for the first time since 2013 when they fell to the Boston Red Sox. Over the past few seasons, much like the Dodgers, the Rays have been building up quite the respectable lineup. Their acquisitions of pitcher Tyler Glasnow and outfielder Austin Meadows in 2018 were some of their most notable moves, and younger players like infielder Brandon Lowe have proven to be vital members of the team. With a record of 40 wins and 20 losses this season, Tampa Bay has also emerged as one of the few teams to really excel in the shortened regular season. And to the Rays’ credit, playing in the same division as the New York Yankees is comparable to playing in the same division as the New England Patriots, so to outplay one of baseball’s most recognizable teams goes to show the level of talent that the Rays have this year. Even with all of their talent however, the general consensus is that Tampa Bay is the underdog to Los Angeles this year. This is not to say that the Rays don’t stand a chance, they’ve already prevented a total series sweep with their most recent win, but the Dodgers have just been so dominant this season that it seems like they’re destined to walk away as World Series champions. Only time will tell at this point, as the Rays and Dodgers are currently tied up in the series and still have a long way to go until a victor is decided.

Which team do you think is going to become the next World Series champion? Let us know in the comments below and for more news on pop culture and everything entertainment, check back here at its-bananas.

The weather is chilly, the pumpkin spice is flowing, and your neighbor is putting skeletons in their yard that look way too real from a glance. It’s officially spooky season. With October already in full swing and Halloween just around the corner, the anticipation for the scariest time of year has never been higher. There’s plenty of different ways to get into the Halloween spirit nowadays, including but not limited to: watching Hocus Pocus reruns on TV all day, carving a jack-o-lantern of Nicolas Cage’s face, or chasing your cat around in a full pirate costume while you exclaim, “Where’s me buried treasure?” Okay, that last one might just be me, but nevertheless there are more than enough ways to get into the holiday spirit this October. For those that really want to immerse themselves in spooky season this year, but don’t necessarily want to go all out with the haunted houses and messy pumpkin carving, another great way to participate in the Halloween festivities is with a truly chilling book. There’s nothing better than reading something that truly frightens you to your core and really makes you consider whether or not your neighbors are putting real skeletons in their front yard. Here’s just a sampling of some of the best books to read that will do just that. 

Something Modern: It

If there’s one author of this generation that comes to mind when discussing spine-tingling literature, it would have to be Stephen King. King has built up a reputation of being one of the most recognizable names in writing of the last forty years, and it’s all due to his terrifying way with words. In his long career as an author, King has pumped out a truly exhausting amount of horror novels, however, none are more popular and identifiable than his 1986 novel It. The story of Pennywise and the Losers Club is one filled with childhood fears and gripping tension, and it’s sure to have any reader avoiding every sewer grate they come across for fear that a horrifying clown might be lurking within. Since it’s release, It has become a pillar of the horror genre. Not only is it the perfect book for Halloween, but it’s a book that simply everyone should read at least once. If you’ve never had the pleasure of reading a Stephen King novel, or you’re looking to get over your fear of clowns in the worst way possible, pick up It right here.

Something Classic: Frankenstein

For those looking for a spooky novel with a touch of classical style, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the perfect book to start with. Published in 1818, Frankenstein is a book rife with history and influence that can still be felt in today’s world. With this novel, Mary Shelley essentially created the science-fiction genre and pioneered the modern monster story as we know it today. The story of Frankenstein details the exploits of a young Victor Frankenstein as he seeks to give life to a person of his own twisted creation. What unfolds is a story of grotesque monsters and everlasting dread that makes for the perfect novel to read on a stormy October night. Frankenstein also has the added benefit of being written in a style that is pretty easy to understand compared to other books from its time period, so it’s accessible to those that may be wary of reading novels that are over a hundred years old at this point. If you want to know where Frankenstein’s monster had its origins, or if you’re just looking for a good monster story, then pick up Frankenstein right here and get reading.

Something for the Kids: Goosebumps

But what if you’ve got younger family members that are also looking to get into the spooky season spirit with a good book? Never fear, because alongside Stephen King is another one of the most recognizable names in horror fiction, R.L. Stine. Stine is known for his immensely popular Goosebumps novels, a series of children’s horror fiction books that are meant to put a little bit of fright into younger audiences without the overly graphic imagery of more mature horror books. The Goosebumps series is one of the more iconic staples in horror fiction due to the overwhelming abundance of books that R.L. Stine wrote for it. This makes the series perfect for younger audiences because there are just so many options. Does a child in your life like Werewolves? Stine has plenty of stories on werewolves. Do they like vampires? Stine has more stories on vampires than you could shake a garlic necklace at. Do they like petrifying stories of sentient ventriloquist dummies that definitely still keep me up at night? If they do you might want to start sleeping with the bedroom door locked, but either way Stine has a whole mini series of books on exactly that. The Goosebumps novels are the perfect way to make sure that the children in your life aren’t left out in the spooky festivities. They’re also just a great way to get children into reading, and at the end of the day isn’t that what’s most important? Grab some Goosebumps books for the young ones in your life right here, and don’t feel bad if you give them a read and they put some fear into you as well. 

Something Short: Pretty much anything by Edgar Allan Poe

Sometimes life can get pretty hectic. Everyone has their own unique schedules that can pull them in a dozen different directions at once. This can make sitting down to read a good book pretty difficult for people that simply don’t have the time to get invested in a big novel, no matter how much they want to scratch that spooky itch around Halloween time. All is not lost, however, because there is one writer that is well-known not only for his bone-shaking stories but also for making those stories conveniently short and digestible. That particular writer would be Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s writing is no stranger to the themes that surround Halloween and October as a whole; he is synonymous with dreary atmospheres and gothic imagery. Where Poe really shines is in his short stories, as he has crafted numerous different tales full of terror in a fraction of the time as most novels. The Masque of the Red Death, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Pit and the Pendulum immediately come to mind, and there are even more terrifying tales where those came from. What’s more, these stories are often compiled in collections of some of Poe’s best writing, so readers that only have a few minutes of time on their hands each day can still enjoy a full story in one sitting while having more to read for the next day. You can grab a collection of some of Poe’s finest works right here and read a story a day as the perfect way to build up anticipation for when Halloween finally comes.

. . .

There you have it, some of the best books to read to get you ready for spooky season. Be sure to grab at least one of these books before Halloween comes so you can read them under the light of a full moon while eating bite size candy and sipping some delicious pumpkin spice coffee. I know that’s what I’ll be doing.

Things the Percy Jackson TV Show Should and Shouldn’t Do If It Wants to Succeed

percy jackson novel series is becoming a tv show on disney plus
Each of the five books in Rick Riordan’s incredibly popular Percy Jackson and the Olympians series published by Disney Hyperion via thelittlecontemporarycorner.com

Fans of Greek mythology and young adult fiction rejoice! Earlier this year, Rick Riordan, author of the widely successful Percy Jackson and the Olympians novels, announced that Disney is going to produce another live-action adaptation of his books in the form of a TV series on Disney Plus. This news was met with elation from fans, as readers of the Percy Jackson series are still reeling from the atrocious film adaptations that 20th Century Fox produced in 2010 and 2013. Since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox back in March of 2019, they now have free license to use any of the properties that Fox owned in the past. This makes a Percy Jackson TV series into a perfect opportunity for the house of mouse. Not only would it beef up the amount of original content on their streaming platform, but it would also drive in new subscriptions from those that read the books in the past and have avoided signing up for Disney Plus up to this point. This will only work however if Disney makes the Percy Jackson series right, and there are a number of ways to accomplish that. There are also some very important things to avoid with this series so that it doesn’t become just another failure like the movie adaptation. We’re gonna discuss these do’s and don’ts below, and hopefully Disney will make the Percy Jackson series into everything the fans could ever ask for.

Do: Stay loyal to the source material

One of the biggest faults of the two Percy Jackson movies was how it more or less disregarded the books completely. Among the many egregious differences between the story of the books and the movies, some include: Percy being 17 in the movies when he’s only 12 in the books, pivotal characters like Ares being almost completely absent from the first movie, and the entire plotline of Kronos’ resurrection being condensed into one film when it took until the last books in the series. With these examples, it’s clear that the bar is set pretty low for Disney’s adaptation. All they need to do is stick to Rick Riordan’s writing and they can’t go wrong. 

Don’t: Use too much CGI

Something that the Percy Jackson TV series should stay away from is an overabundance of CGI. This is not to say that using CGI effects at all is a bad thing, they have proved to be a revolutionary tool in filmmaking for quite some time now. At the same time however, we can all think of a movie or TV show that used such distracting computer effects that it took away from the overall feeling of what we are trying to watch, and the Percy Jackson series will have to avoid that to keep the attention of fans. Now there is the issue that with a show centered around Greek mythology, it would be pretty difficult and expensive to make practical creatures such as the Minotaur, but Disney already has some experience using more practical effects for its original series. The Mandalorian has been a shining example of what happens when a studio places a focus on practical effects when possible and uses computer effects as sparingly as they can. One particular innovation that Disney used for The Mandalorian that the Percy Jackson series should take advantage of is the new “Stagecraft” technology. This new filmmaking tool is essentially a big wall of LED lights that acts as a projector of sorts for any kind of environment that a director may want to use. It eliminates the need for costly sets, and it makes the world around the characters seem more natural than that of a green screen. If the Percy Jackson series were to use this technology it would make for some incredibly breathtaking environments, especially for scenes that take place in the Underworld or Olympus. 

Do: Keep the show accessible

If the Percy Jackson series is going to be an all-around success, it’s going to have to perform a bit of a tightrope walk with its overall tone. This show is going to be in a bit of a weird place as far as its audience is concerned, because although the books are meant for an audience of roughly middle school and high school age, the vast majority of the fanbase is somewhere in their early twenties now. It sort of has a Harry Potter effect to it all; the Percy Jackson books were first published about fifteen years ago, so the people that grew up with the series when they were in grade school are now in college or preparing to graduate from college. This presents an interesting challenge for Disney for how they want the show to proceed. They could go with a more child friendly, almost Disney Channel, feel to the show, but this would likely alienate the older Percy Jackson fanbase. On the flipside, if they were to make the show too mature it would run the risk of being inaccessible to a younger audience that may just be getting into the books. In order to succeed, the Percy Jackson series is going to have to strike a balance between these two things much like the Marvel movies do. The one thing that makes the Marvel movies so popular is how they are entertaining and engaging for older, die-hard fans and younger newcomers alike. And with Disney’s experience in finding this balance with the Marvel movies, there’s no reason the Percy Jackson series can’t do the same. 

Don’t: Rush through the story

For the Percy Jackson series to be truly successful, it’s going to have to take its time. This time around the producers of this series aren’t limited to the roughly two hour time frame of most movies, so they can take as many episodes and seasons as they need to tell this story, and they should use that to their advantage. Now as far as Disney Plus is concerned, Disney hasn’t exactly produced any original series that are longer than about ten episodes a season. This is where Disney would have to take a bit of a risk, because just ten episodes would not be nearly enough time to tell the story of the Percy Jackson books. In order to allow each character to get as much development as possible and to make sure that plotlines aren’t rushed, Disney should adopt a structure similar to that of the many CW series, like Arrow and Supernatural. These series have episodes that are about forty-five minutes long, and each season consists of between fifteen and twenty episodes. This would work perfectly for the Percy Jackson series because not only would the forty-five minute structure ensure that each of the main characters gets the appropriate amount of screen time, but each of the books in the first Percy Jackson series are about twenty chapters long. This would allow each episode to be a chapter, and each season to be one whole book. Using a structure like this would help to prevent the Percy Jackson show from becoming just like the Percy Jackson movies because they wouldn’t have to do a full sprint through the story. Disney would be able to do what anyone else does when reading a book and take the series one chapter at a time.

With the Disney Percy Jackson series on the way, and a Kane Chronicles movie series apparently in the works at Netflix, it’s never been a more exciting time to be a fan of Rick Riordan’s writing. Here’s hoping that both companies are able to stick the landing and deliver an experience that fans have been waiting for. What are you most excited to see in the Percy Jackson TV show?
