If there's one Astro who's going to get a big zone, it's Keuchel. That's his whole game

Hendricks before Hendricks

Show Hey O'Tawny

6:16

That was LOUD, Eno

brian eno

6:16

keuchel not missing many bats or getting many Ks

Eno Sarris

6:16

seee! just talking to my mans Doug Padilla about how it's become a night club here, more like an NBA arena. The board is loud.

Jeff Sullivan

6:16

Three swinging strikes so far for Keuchel, five for Kershaw

Eno Sarris

6:16

sorry Jeff. internets not great here.

Jeff Sullivan

6:16

Don't worry about it. You're at the World Series!

Hawkguy

6:17

Is there anyone who speaks more with his body language while batting than Puig?

K-Man

6:17

Puig taking all the way is the BEST

Eno: What David asked but for Seattle!

He Hate Me

6:17

Isn't McCullers's curveball more like a slider?

Jeff Sullivan

6:17

It's slider speed but curveball depth

Eno Sarris

6:17

Holy Mountain (industrial area) and Cloudburst (pike's place).

Yeah, McCuller's' Curve drops like 8 inches more than average slider.

Jeff Sullivan

6:18

Freaky freaky pitch

say hey

6:18

How does Keuchel compare to Kyle Hendricks?

Jeff Sullivan

6:18

Similar command, maybe 70 on the 20-80 scale. Maximizes an underwhelming repertoire

Eno Sarris

6:18

They throw to the spots in the zone that traditionally create the lowest exit velos. 1) Keuchel. 2) Hendricks.

Jeff Sullivan

6:19

Three pitches, two outs...

Eno Sarris

6:19

so, yeah, command.

Pine Marten

6:19

Could this games actually end under 3 hours?!?!

Jeff Sullivan

6:19

Not unless someone takes the lead!

Drop-down strikeout!

idk why teams spend $150M to get to the world series. I found tickets for like $450

Jeff Sullivan

6:20

Reddick just watched three fastballs for a strikeout. Last one was a drop-down variety in the lower-inside quadrant

Kershaw usually struggles to keep that pitch down

Eno Sarris

6:21

I had a hard time seeing that from up here.

Jeff Sullivan

6:21

I usually don't catch it on the delivery but the follow-through is a dead giveaway

Kershaw's momentum is weird and takes him over toward first base

Dodger Fan

6:22

Reddick isn't getting booed because he was bad for the Dodgers, he's getting booed because he's said bad things about Dodger fans in the media

Gregory

6:22

I just got here back from class. Hopefully we aren't through 2.5 innings yet...

Jeff Sullivan

6:22

That also works strongly against him

Eno Sarris

6:22

let me sip some tea and check

is the 20-80 scale appropriate for players who are not prospects? If you're judging young'uns vs. the mlb population instead of against each other, the numbers go way down?

Jeff Sullivan

6:22

I was just going for something familiar

You could also just go with A, just shy of A+

Mike

6:23

The drop down and shut up for Josh Reddick. It's goodness is 100% the surprise

Jeff Sullivan

6:23

It usually hasn't worked out to seem so...surprising. But it's still evolving, I bet

Towel

6:23

That drop down strike had to look like 110 mph to Reddick lol
