I have never heard of David S. Pumpkins.

Tyler

10:21

Do you agree with that approach?

Dave Cameron

10:21

No, he's too reactive for my tastes.

But when you have this many great arms, it's not as big a problem.

If recency bias shifts you from one dominant reliever to another, eh, still dominant reliever.

noseeum

10:22

OMG you must google David S. Pumpkins

Dave Cameron

10:22

/googles. Oh, an SNL skit. I won't find this funny. Clicks the X.

Nick R

10:22

Isn't recency bias kinda prevalent in baseball though

Dave Cameron

10:22

Yup.

David

10:23

[pushes up glasses] uh, they're called sketches, Dave

10:23

Although I'm pretty p**sed at Girardi now, he also is not afraid to 'promote' relievers instead of wearing out the ones he trusts, I thought.

Paint the Black

10:24

thanks Vasgergian for mentioning that not all players love the game equally...

Mattingly's Sideburns

10:24

Todd Frazier just called an oppo bomb for judge

Mike

10:24

Another low strike for Jusge

David

10:24

Judge is getting KILLED on low pitches

Confused Englishman

10:25

Ump keeps calling them, pitchers will keep throwing them

MikeM

10:25

They do know he is 11 feet tall and those are balls right?

Netflix and Rich Hill

10:25

Watching Shaw awakens that little voice in the back of my head that says - you could do what he's doing - 2 pitches, high velocity...and look like you manage a run down gym in the offseason that you don't work out at anymore but you love it because there are chix there

Paint the Black

10:26

I've always hated the 'plays the game the right way' comment that Smoltz just made. You know who also plays the game the right way? Luis Severino, who was all sorts of excited in game 4!

Noah

10:26

Let's be real if Salazar is on the mound he blows 3 fastballs by Judge, at bat over

Dave Cameron

10:26

Do you think Judge's problem this series has been *fastballs*?

Ryan

10:26

they all play the game the right way, this series is great

Matt

10:27

horrific strike 3 call

Luber

10:27

another terrible called strike on judge

Nick R

10:27

Big zone tonight

charlotte

10:27

That was a strike?

Chuckb

10:27

Not a strike. Great throw by Perez.

Mike

10:27

Opinion on strike zone ?

Dave Cameron

10:27

It's big, but the Fox tracker is making it seem bigger than it has been.

Realist

10:27

That's been the zone all night for everyone

David

10:28

not a strike, but at least consistent. less egregious than the low pitch earlier in the at bat.

deananna

10:28

its been consistent... but bad

Motown oden

10:28

Worst part of that strike em out throw em out is now I'm afraid of commercials

Cowdisciple

10:28

Strike zone has been ridiculously huge for everyone, not just Judge.

Dave Cameron

10:28

It's been a bit wider than we'd expect, but not extreme.

The Fox tracker is too narrow.

Don't Bogaerts the Xander

10:28

If I believed in momentum, that would feel like a big momentum shift...

Phil

10:29

I think people are being too swayed by the Fox graphic. Would be so much better if networks stopped that.

Post malone

10:29

I wish they would nuke the k zone overlay

Frank

10:29

or nuke the umpires
