This is super interesting!

Bork

Schwarber better hit a HR cause he aint making it to first.

Paul Swydan

8:39

His back pocket is untucked.

Tom

8:39

Honestly, I saw much more media coverage of Schwarber than Kluber, Lester, Lindor, Arrieta, Rizzo, or anyone else--he really is the biggest story, at least so far.

That swing was... not close.

twb

8:40

I love that Theo sits down in the stands on the road

Paul Swydan

8:40

Me too. Hoyer was right next to him too. And Macleod is often with them as well.

8:40

Schwarber has 5 more plate appearances this year than Raul Mondesi Jr. had before last year's Series

Sgt. Pepper

8:41

"He was running without any discomfort", well without anymore discomfort than when he normally runs

Dave Cameron

8:41

That's only if you ignore the minors.

Mondesi played the whole year, just not in the big leagues.

5 Run Homer

8:41

Aw man

CamdenWarehouse

8:41

He looked kinda bad

alpha

8:41

he didn't look awful

Dave Cameron

8:42

Come to a consensus, you two!

(I don't think it's possible for us to not think a player looks bad while striking out, generally)

Tyler

8:42

He looked average

Paul Swydan

8:42

Swing didn't look great, but the plate discipline looked OK.

Dave Cameron

8:42

I would bet the exact same swing would have "looked better" if it had made contact.

8:43

Our ability to discern good or bad swing is almost entirely determined by the result.

Paul Swydan

8:43

Yeah, definitely.

8:43

Corey Kluber > anonymous pitching machine

Paul Swydan

8:43

Big, if true.

filihok

8:44

Are we worried that his swing's not there, or that his timing/recognition are off?

Dave Cameron

8:44

The latter

Paul Swydan

8:44

They should make life model decoy pitching machines, like ones that can turn into having Corey Klubers or Roger Clemens or Randy Johnson's repertoire, just like the training robots in Ultimate Spider-Man.

Sorry, we watch a lot of Ultimate Spider-Man in my house.

Dave Cameron

8:45

That two-seam is nasty.

5 Run Homer

8:45

Baez dude... right there

Dave Cameron

8:45

That was a painted corner.

alpha

8:45

But Joe Buck said it was down the middle

Dave Cameron

8:45

Don't listen to Joe Buck.

greg

8:46

How does Joe West keep on getting to work the World Series?

CamdenWarehouse

8:46

do I just press a button for another announcer?

Dave Cameron

8:46

Well you can hear his words without giving them credibility

Johnny Baseball

8:46

Canada gets to hear Matt Vasgersian and Buck Martinez

Paul Swydan

8:47

Chris Coghlan hasn't had a hit in almost a month - Sept. 27.

I'm here for the gangbang

8:47

You can always go SAP and have no idea what they're talking about

Harold Reynolds

8:47

To be fair, the camera angle is pretty bad

Sam N

8:47

I'd rather have Vasgersian than a taco...
