Nice zone for Hendricks tonight...

Joe Buck gets excited about every ball hit to the outfield.

But, last time I was at a playoff game, I did too

Eno Sarris

DINNER IS DONE FINALLY WOW

O/u on a Santana disaster in the outfield? 1.5?

Ryan Pollack

8:23

What is the unit of measurement there?

Just disasters?

Eno Sarris

8:23

How many chances does a left fielder get that are actually hard? That's the problem with defensive metrics.

I say he gets three chances, one is hard, and he messes up two. Hah.

Ryan Pollack

8:24

Maybe the wind blowing out to LF will help. It'll put some balls over the fence so he won't have a chance to look bad.

Eno Sarris

8:24

Shouldve practiced his "I dunno it's in the ivy" look too. The Yo.

Dude, these emoji's in my chat is triggering me.

Eno Sarris

8:25

Hey I got a poop one too so it's okay.

CamdenWarehouse

8:26

Is he out there saying "Don't hit to me. Don't hit to me" like we did in little league?

Eno Sarris

8:26

That, or when he gets to the plate, gotta hit one out gotta hit one out gotta hit one out

CamdenWarehouse

8:26

no kidding about the emojis

I enabled something I never do: the peanut gallery.

Ryan Pollack

During the NLCS I saw John Baker tweet that that play (when players throw the ball past each other trying to get an out) called a "snowball fight". I'm going to steal that.

Seth

Four fielders touched that single

What was Hendrick's first strike % this season? Should Indians sit first pitch?

Eno Sarris

8:29

What if, one day, they turned an 8 6 7 5 3 0 9

Ryan Pollack

8:30

Hendricks tied for 1st among qualified ML starters this year with 68.6 F-Strike%. Cueto was the other at that rate.

Eno Sarris

8:30

God Hendricks has such great command to his glove side. Makes me moist. Good pull Ryan!

Problem with those first pitch strikes is they all look like balls before they are strikes.

Ryan Pollack

8:30

Lackey 2nd at 68.1%, and Mr. Tomlin 4th at 67.7

8:31

Er, 3rd

So yeah I'd look for hitters swinging early tonight

Is Ryan Pollack a Fangraphs writer? I thought he was just a very very prolific commenter in this chat, but that theory isn't holding water any more.

Ryan Pollack
