tough to risk it, maybe.

bunt followed by an intentional walk by two process minded orgs.

Will we look back on Cingrani as a steal for LAD?

Craig Edwards

11:27

so many relievers got trade for not much, it is hard to see it as a steal.

Zack

11:28

Is it just me, or does Reddick destroy something in the dugout every time he makes an out?

Craig Edwards

11:28

guessing he was mad at the call to bunt, unless it was his choice, then he's made about not executing.

SubmarineSailor

11:29

If you're asking could he have caught it before it hit the wall, I dont think he could have got there in time. But it did hit low enough for him to make a play on it

Josh R

11:29

Looked about 10 feet up off the wall to me

Alec Asher Wojciechowski

11:29

Guessing that bunt was all Reddick

ChatzMcGee

11:29

Bunt for hit though I think.

Davey

11:31

He was mad at his terrible bunt. Have some empathy you machine men.

According to Smoltzie, Reddick bunted on his own after seeing Bellinger back up.

Gary 'The Windmill' Pettis has put a stop sign up twice tonight. Personal postseason record for him.

Ace

11:32

Stripping in the high-leverage situation? Interesting choice. If there was ever a Jansen moment (though I realize no manager would do s0

Craig Edwards

11:33

the leverage when you are down 2, even in this situation is still pretty low. for one batter, Stripling is a fine call.

11:33

Ace not sure that comment is PG

Evan

11:34

From a nickname perspective, "Gary 'The Windmill' Pettis" is a poor man's "'Wave'm Home' Willie" [Randolph].

Ace

11:34

My fat fingers may have betrayed a different notion...

Craig Edwards

11:34

freud might have something to say about that.

AdamZ

"send'em Sveum"?

bobby tables

11:35

do some games become more likely to have large WPA changes as they go on? For instance, through 9 innings last night, was there a higher chance of more large WPA changes than in an average Astros-Dodgers game?

Craig Edwards

11:36

yes because late in games there are fewer outs to go.

bet springer wishes tal's hill could have gotten in the way of that one.

Clay(2000 lbs) Kershaw

PHEW!!!!

Tyler

Dome open maybe thats a home run

11:37

if that was in LA 1st 2 games it's gone.

11:37

Holy mackerel!

Is it possible to hit out to straightaway CF at Minute Maid? Evidence suggests no.

J Rich

11:37

Anywhere else in the ballpark it's game over. Baseball a crazy game.

Marshall

11:37

The Stripling Warrior comes through!

Jay

11:37

I'd guess the leverage index differs entirely from "the book" when it's Game 3 of a tied World Series. Down 2, regardless of the result, Stripling is a tough call there.

Craig Edwards

By exit velocity and launch angle, that ball is a homer 95% of the time. Not to dead center in Houston though. Minute Maid giveth and Minute Maid taketh away.

4th true outcome

11:40

rough for seager

Canyonero Driver

11:40

Gurriel double had a 2% hit probability, so it all evens out.

Peacock strutting.

Craig Edwards

11:41

I'll allow it.

Nick R

11:42

Think peacock stays in for the 9th?

Craig Edwards

11:42

i doubt it.
