workin!

Jeff Sullivan

First pitch swing for Springer. I expect a lot of those from the Astros in this game

5:12

Kershaw's hair already looks drenched

It's been three pitches

Clayton Kershaw

5:12

Can I win today with the 'what analytics group do you work for slider?

Eno Sarris

5:12

91 today. Of course he can win, but it's better at 87-88.

Jeff Sullivan

5:13

90mph slider for a whiff. OK!

Nick

As a sportswriter, what's your X factor when it comes to writing about X factors?

Jeff Sullivan

5:13

desperation

Eno Sarris

5:13

x em out

Dres

5:13

I can’t think of any FA-to-be on either team. Oh wait, Beltran.

Jeff Sullivan

5:13

Darvish!

Hal

5:14

Jokes aside, I wouldn't be surprised if MLB players have higher testosterone than the general pop and that correlates with higher baldness

Eno Sarris

5:14

ooh the t word

Jeff Sullivan

5:14

Also, two-thirds of men start to lose their hair at some point. Happens to most of us!

Eno Sarris

5:14

YOU SHUT YOUR FACE

Jeff Sullivan

5:14

I'm way ahead of you Sarris

Skeletor

5:15

When does Bregman move to short?

Eno Sarris

5:15

Isn't he really nice with the glove?

EccentricChemist

5:15

You guys doing a live blog for every game of the series?

Jeff Sullivan

5:15

Not us specifically, but FanGraphs, yes. Dave will be chatting tomorrow

Dave also has a potential G7. I'd have a potential G6

Long Live Jeff Frye

5:16

Pedroia has the greatest Baseball Scalp of all time.

Towel

5:16

Speaking of balding: pedroia has the worst hair in baseball

Eno Sarris

5:16

I don't think you can count 'no' as the 'worst.'

Hal

5:16

Quick number for you analytics guys out there: Kershaw's on pace for 27 Ks

Jeff Sullivan

5:16

Pedroia is baseball's Ryan Getzlaf

5:17

Or the other way around. I don't care

Jordan

5:17

Who has a better chance of getting back to the world series next year?

Jeff Sullivan

5:17

Dodgers

Cap

5:17

Is there any reasonable argument that Altuve is, in fact, “the game’s best hitter right now”?

Jeff Sullivan

5:17

Yes, if you consider that only these two teams are still playing

Eno Sarris

5:17

ball's flying

Jeff Sullivan

5:18

For the benefit of the chat room, remember that Eno is at the game, seeing things live, and I'm probably like a solid minute behind

For example, Eno was a minute ahead of me in seeing Chris Taylor take the first pitch yard!

Eno Sarris

5:18

I tried not to spoiler!

Jeff Sullivan

5:18

Don't worry about it!

Chris G

5:19

447 ft!

5:19

Astros are done. Should they forfeit the series so they can save bullets in their pitchers' arms for next year?

Hal

5:19

Imagine telling someone that Chris Taylor would hit a leadoff homer in the World Series back in April
