under. Who is he getting other than ODB?

Paul Swydan

11:20

Method Man branched out into acting, I could see that. RZA too.

Sean

11:20

You thing Dave Cameron knows the Method Man is?

Paul Swydan

11:20

I'd be surprised, but not shocked.

11:21

This crowd is nuts right now. Cheering full counts with no one on base.

Watson! Somebody call Watson!

(That's a children's book joke)

Two things.

1. This WS is so fun I never want it to end.

2. How awesome do Charlie Morton and Alex Wood look now?

Wu-tang literally just released a new album..

Paul Swydan

11:22

They did, but as much as I liked it, it didn't really push them back into the current music landscape. It was all throwback type stuff.

The Hamburglar

11:22

Jesus. Seriously? Smoltz is STILL lecturing about this?

Paul Swydan

11:22

When you only know one thing...

How old are you, Paul?

Fangraphs is all about how decisions aren't about results, they're about the method, man

Evan Gattis the kinda guy to bring his bat with him to 1B on a walk

Paul Swydan

11:23

Did he do that? I didn't see that.

David

11:23

Does Dave read the chat transcripts?

Paul Swydan

11:23

I don't think Dave has ever read one of my chat transcripts. I'd have been fired on the count of stupidity a long time ago if he did.

NtflxnRichHill

11:23

Dave said that if one of his friends wore skinny jeans they'd be out of his friend circle

Paul Swydan

11:24

That sounds like something Dave would say.

Brandon M

11:24

Have you ever been to a WS, Paul? Just curious

Paul Swydan

11:24

I worked/atteneded the 2007 World Series when I worked for the Rockies.

Stringer Bell

11:24

Better World Series...This year or last year's

Paul Swydan

11:25

This year has less Chief Wahoo and less Joe Maddon, so this year.

Neutral Nick

11:25

38 is not old! Good lord

Paul Swydan

11:25

Thanks Neutral Nick.

I feel like ages 27-42 are all the same

Paul Swydan

11:25

Rude.

Well, it's rude to 27 year olds.

On the baseball...it is interesting that the table with spin rates shows most avg. higher WS spin over Reg. Season, some beyond the S.D. A slicker ball would probably spin more, but axis of spin might be different? Yet pitchers claim it is slicker? Seems odd it is from both sides.

Tommy

11:26

Can you run the bases with the bat?

Paul Swydan

11:26

I believe it is actually illegal to hold the bat past first base.

Mike

11:26

Actually “Wu-Tang” releases the album not “Wu-Tang Clan”, for whatever reason

Paul Swydan

11:26

Yeah it was deemed a compilation album and not a real LP.

NotGraphs Fans ain't nothing to f*ck with

Monsignor Martinez

11:27

It's weird; this has been a relatively high scoring series, but the strike zone seems kinda big, too.

Shunpiker

11:27

The more important question is have you ever worn skinney jeans?

Paul Swydan

11:27

Well, I've worn loose jeans that looked like skinny jeans because I was getting too fat for them. Does that count?
