Yes, I like Darling and Hernandez on the Mets broadcasts.

John Smoltz gets my vote for the worst postseason commenter

Jeff --- would you have pinch hit for Heyward in that situation (elimination game, based loaded, top 1, 1-0, lefty / lefty, SP clearly struggling)?  Why or why not?
Jeff Sullivan
5:39
I would not have. Open to the argument, but my first thought is it's just too early and Heyward would be completely pissed off. You assume as this game goes forward you'll be seeing a lot of righties

What playoff announcers are actually good though? Ranked?
Jeff Sullivan

I have always liked Vasgersian and I also enjoy Brian Anderson's work for the most part
Sadman

It makes me sad that both of these teams can't win. : (
Jeff Sullivan
5:41
They already have!
Until tonight
Tonight someone becomes a loser

Hot take: A-Rod will become the best broadcast guy in five years.
Jeff Sullivan
5:41
I'm not even sure if that's a hot take anymore. He's wonderful

Why would the Indians be so secretive about Kluber's health? He started game 2 of the ALDS last year because he was hurt and no one questioned them. Why not just admit to it? I am worried he is dying of cancer or something.
Jeff Sullivan
5:42
Teams never like to give anything away when it's even remotely exploitable
Fun fact: Gio Gonzalez, historically, has been absolute murder on opposing pitchers at the plate
That curveball is why
jake
5:43
is this the part where we all happily agree that joe buck is Actually Good
Jeff Sullivan
5:43
That might have happened a year or two ago
David S.

When Vasgersian calls a big home run it's goddamn awesome.
Jeff Sullivan
5:43
Loved him when he was in San Diego. So much fun

A-Rod might already be the best broadcast guy.  love listening to him.

whats best case for LA (not counting injuries)? Nats win but blow through every starter?
Jeff Sullivan
5:44
Nats win and Stephen Strasburg gets everyone sick
lastings
5:44
how is this the same pitcher as the first inning?
Jeff Sullivan
5:45
This is instructive. Very little carryover for great or struggling pitchers between frames
Ben
5:45
your dedication to watching the padres is commendable
Jeff Sullivan
5:45
It used to be less terrible
Hell of a curveball to end the inning for Gonzalez. He won't last much longer but that was redemptive
kevinthecomic
5:45
weiters was heading back to the dugout b4 the ump called strike 3
Jeff Sullivan
5:46
One of the best body languages
Adam

would you rather live during the ascent of a civilization or its decline?
Jeff Sullivan
5:46
I kind of feel like I'm already doing both
Andrew
5:46
Was watching the Padres purely a scouting endeavor for better info on the Vedder Cup?
Jeff Sullivan
5:46
I lived in San Diego. It's what was on
Ben
5:46
jeff- should we be worried about the yellowstone supervolcano?
Jeff Sullivan
5:46
Absolutely not
Shout out to Erik Klemetti
Confused Englishman

Would you rather walk up the mountain or down?
Jeff Sullivan
5:47
I used to think down but now I strongly lean up
