8:18

Alright, let's get ready to talk some baseball.

Gut feeling: Wood is really good tonight, goes 5 or 6, and Jansen pitches at least 2, so the Dodgers bullpen issue turns out to not be a big deal.

Jstodola

8:19

Which starter will last longer?

Dave Cameron

8:19

Wood.

Would guess Morton gives way to McHugh after 3-4.

LJS

8:19

Just Dave tonight?

Dave Cameron

8:19

Yeah, just me. Didn't want to ask too many people to give up their Saturday nights.

J. Cole Hamels

8:20

Does the "the appeals process would delay it until 2018 anyway" argument mean that the appeals process needs to be improved?

Dave Cameron

8:20

I would guess MLB will look to add some language that clarifies how postseason suspensions will be handled going forward.

ChatzMcGee

8:20

Hinch’s results or Roberts’ process?

Dave Cameron

8:20

The latter.

Patrick

8:21

Wood didn't last so long last time though. What makes this time different?

Dave Cameron

8:21

Maeda isn't available tonight.

And they probably don't want to throw Fields/Stripling if they don't have to.

Nick V

8:21

Most of them are probably watching this anyway, though?

Dave Cameron

8:21

I know it might sound weird, but there's definitely a difference between watching the game and helping run a live blog.

Mike M

8:22

Would you have been tempted to use Kershaw tonight? I know we'll see him a 3rd time in Game 7 anyway.

Dave Cameron

8:22

No chance.

Mahatma Gagne

8:22

Rich Hill is around to bail out Wood for a couple innings in case of danger.

Dave Cameron

8:22

That could happen, maybe.

Chet Manley

8:23

Would you normally be doing other work related stuff while following the game if you're not running the blog?

Dave Cameron

8:23

Not really, but it's a lot easier to interact with the world around you when not live blogging. Don't have to entirely ignore your family if just watching the game, for instance.

Frank

8:24

Since you're already chatting on short rest, will you be unavailable for Game 7, or ready for a fireman-type role?

Dave Cameron

8:24

I'm already signed up for Game 7.

Jackie Cistuli

8:24

Are you mentally exhausted after live blogging a game? I'm mentally exhausted just following them and can't imagine how you pay attention to your screen and the game

Dave Cameron

8:25

After Game 2 ended, I had to go clear my head before I could write.

I was whipped.

8:26

The Dodgers have made so many outs at second base this week.

Lunar verLander

8:27

McCann threw someone out...wow

Show Hey O’Tawny

8:27

Wow, he got him by a mile there

4th true outcome

8:27

Forgot granderson was on the dodgers for a minute

Dave Cameron

8:27

Not on the WS roster.

Tim

8:27

Why the delayed steal?
