Dave Cameron

8:36

I'm giving myself a little space to try to not be too spoiler-ish.

Brian

8:36

What was the Hit Prob on that Judge catch?

Dave Cameron

8:36

52%

David

8:36

What do you think of Girardi using green for two innings last night?

Dave Cameron

8:36

Not a fan

Ace

8:37

Dave, what's your current prediction? Anything in the first two innings that makes you feel any differently?

Dave Cameron

8:37

Have been leaning HOU in a close one all day, still that way.

ChatzMcGee

8:37

Has the use of high leverage relievers in low leverage situations not been pretty absurd this postseason?

Dave Cameron

8:37

It has been

Cody

8:38

Would Aaron Judge be a major leaguer 10 or 20 years ago? Seems like the strikeouts would have been too much back then.

Dave Cameron

8:38

Adam Dunn had a career.

Nic

8:38

Cc doesnt look good so far

Andrew

8:38

Neither has been bad, but Morton looks a little sharper than CC so far imo.

Mitch

8:38

Cc is all around the zone tonight. And getting hit. Making me nervous.

8:38

Oml take CC outtt

Jeff

8:39

Yankees or Astros better positioned for the next 5 years?

Dave Cameron

8:39

Yankees

Marwin missed a cookie there.

85 spinner down the middle.

Tommy

8:40

Smoltz disagrees

Dave Cameron

8:40

He knows more about pitching than I do.

But that looked like a meatball to me.

Canyonero Driver

8:40

How much of Yankees being better positioned is based on their financial resources.

Dave Cameron

8:40

A good chunk of it.

8:41

And then a dinkier.

That felt like good pitching/bad luck for CC

69 mph EV

ChatzMcGee

8:41

For some reason I think Sonny Gray would really do well in a relief role, nothing to back that up.

RE: Betances. I don't get how you can vouch for trusting Justin Wilson, a guy who walked more than a batter an inning for the Cubs, but not Betances. 17 innings is enough to say that the magnitude of that problem is way worse than Betances' problems (even if a problem is an undisclosed injury). Neither should be trusted. Recency bias is just as bad as selectively ignoring data because of a long track record.

Dave Cameron

8:42

Walks are one thing. Betances is throwing balls to the backstop on the fly.

And the Yankees can afford to be picky, because they have a great bullpen. The Cubs did not.

John

8:42

Calling my shot, Reddick takes one out to right, 2 rows into the bleachers

Mike

8:42

whew good thing Josh Reddick is batting in a high leverage situation.

Trey

8:42

Reddick's time to finally shine...?

8:43

do you think you *do* know more about pitching than some MLB pitchers?

Dave Cameron

8:43

Nope.

John

8:43

Sigh

Jaack

8:43

I must say that so far there is not a single ad this postseason that will stay with me for life like HER FATHER IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY or THIS TRAAAAAAAINNN

Mike

8:44

My girlfriend has developed a great dislike for the JD Power Award for Reliability commercial .. "wowwww"

Canyonero Driver

8:44

Sabathia has only thrown 4 more pitches than Morton but it *feels* like he's thrown 15-20 more.
