Everyone keeps bringing up the Astros being undefeated at home as if the Dodgers werent undefeated at home and lost. That JUST happened a game ago.

Craig Edwards

8:14

Home team has won a lot in these playoffs, though that could be partly a function of the teams with HFA just being better generally.

Seth Moko

Which starter goes longer?

Craig Edwards

8:15

the poll says Darvish.

David

J.J. Watt throwing out the first pitch on crutches. I'd think that would make Houston fans sad.

Craig Edwards

8:15

maybe if they had him do it Sunday.

Rawsko

8:16

Unlikely that McCullers uses his CB 63% of the time tonight?

Craig Edwards

8:16

I'm sure we will see it a bunch, but probably won't see a couple dozen in a row. Would love to see him open the game like that just to see what happens.

the poll knows all

Craig Edwards

8:17

always trust polls.

Russians hacked this poll too

Craig Edwards

8:18

seems unlikely.

This game is a huge one with Wood and the huge question he is for game 4. Even more so than the question Morton is.

Craig Edwards

8:19

announcer voice: this is anybody's series at this point.

my voice: this one is big, but tomorrow's is bigger because some team is going to have a chance to take a 3-1 lead, which would be really big.

Max

8:21

Interesting thought: Who is the worst pitcher to start in the world series in recent memory?

Craig Edwards

8:21

that's really mean, but I'll say Jeremy Guthrie.

Russian Hacker

8:21

That's silly

Rawsko

8:22

LAD has +20 wRAA vs CB. 2nd best in MLB. Do the projections take that into account?

Craig Edwards

8:22

No, I don't believe they do. Projections don't take a lot of things into account.

Sterling Mallory Chris Archer

8:22

lol, huge one with wood

Craig Edwards

8:22

we still not doing phrasing?

Show Hey O’Tawny

8:23

It’s weird to me that the team with the worse record now has home field advantage in a five game series

Craig Edwards

8:24

yes, but winning three games in a row is hard.

8:25

the astros shift more than any team in the AL. Worked there.

Staples

8:25

Joe blanton vs edwin jackson

ChatzMcGee

8:26

Do you start Reddick vs another lefty tomorrow?

Craig Edwards

8:26

probably not.

Conner from AZ

8:26

Are reverse splits for pitchers in a single season sample more predictive/accurate than for hitters?

Craig Edwards

8:26

Could be wrong but I believe they are bad.

Jstodola

8:27

I wonder how much Marlins Man paid for that seat

Craig Edwards

8:27

let's not discuss him any more in this chat.

8:28

and the answer is a lot.

David

8:28

First 5 pitches tonight: 5 fastballs

Is that Nolan Ryan-brand beef trolley filled with oranges? Houston, you so random

Craig Edwards

8:28

I don't think they could fill it with beef because of regulations and flies and birds and such.

Peter from Pittsburgh

8:29

Do the projections believe that Chris Taylor is a good player?

Craig Edwards

8:30

Yes. they believe he is an average hitter and above average as a fielder. They are not yet convinced he's a 5-win player.

Jstodola

8:30

What feed do you have

Craig Edwards

8:30

I am casting from the FSGO app.
