How much does Jansen add to that 91%?

MVP chants for Turner.

Jeff Sullivan

7:29

Might as well!

Balls balls balls

7:29

Carlos Beltran, postseason destroyer: wRC+ of 173 in the postseason. Mike Trout: wRC+ of 169 always, everywhere, and any time.

Daniel

All in all, not a terrible result for Houston, right. Held LA offense down pretty well. Won't have to see Kershaw again until Gm 5 in the Box.

Jeff Sullivan

7:29

Don't think Houston cares too much about process. You either win or you lose. The Astros, probably, are about to lose

Eno Sarris

7:30

I, too, would enjoy walking out to Tupac to close in LA.

Andrew

7:30

Morrow a good fit for the cubs next year perhaps? They need some good relievers but it would help them a lot to not have to spend too much to get them

Jeff Sullivan

7:30

Good fit for lots of teams!

Hence three years

Elbo

7:31

Why have we not had the usual shots of third-rate FOX "stars" in the stands?

Eno Sarris

7:31

Ken Jeong is here!

So is... scans sheet.... Dennis Haysbert!

Jeff Sullivan

7:31

Here's Kenley Jansen, who allowed a .207 wOBA this season. Batters had a .200 wOBA after falling behind 0-and-2

Tommy

7:33

How long has this game taken so far?

Jeff Sullivan

7:33

First pitch was 5:11pm local time

So, 2:22

This inning has to last more than an hour for this game to fit the postseason pattern

Eno Sarris

7:34

Kenley varying that front foot a bit, right? I know he's changed things up. Which, ridiculous.

yeah. Sometimes he wiggles the front foot almost like Kershaw, sometimes it comes straight.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

7:34

So will we regress to the mean in game 2 and have a 5 hour game?

Jeff Sullivan

7:34

Sounds like Dave's problem, not mine!

7:35

Not George Springer's night, I'm afraid

Tommy

7:35

Does kenley Jansen ever blow saves

Jeff Sullivan

7:35

It has never happened

7:35

If you bought a ticket should you feel cheated this game went by so fast? Like, aren’t you owed an extra hour of baseball and maybe a little more suspense?

Eno Sarris

7:36

So many more watching on TV I guess.

In 1923, 301,430 people came to World Series games. Last year, 277,603 saw Cubs v Indians in person.

Jeff Sullivan

7:36

How often do you see a foul tip take the umpire mask clean off?

Netflix and Rich Hill

7:37

Isn't it atrocious that Verlander was able to fix his slider because the Astros had a more advanced camera? Atrocious in that, how are not all teams equipped with that by now?

Jeff Sullivan

7:37

Slider was fixed when he was still with Detroit

Teams should all have that tech, but I think that's a misleading narrative

LegallyEagle

7:38

Any reason to think Morrow's year has been fluky and won't be replicated remotely in the future?

Jeff Sullivan

7:38

He's a reliever. So, basically, that

Joe

7:38

Fox cuts back into the game really late. They don't waste a single second of potential commercial time.

Jeff Sullivan

7:38

The other day Joe Buck cleverly and sneakily apologized for viewers missing the first pitch of an inning

7:39

I don't know how Bregman made contact with that pitch but I guess it doesn't matter! One out to go

7:40

We're finished!
