BJOGC

This is verlanders game to win/lose right? He's pitching till his arm falls off I assume

Jeff Sullivan

6:54

Something like that, as long as the game is close. I can see him getting up to 120 or 125 if it's feeling okay

The Hamburglar

6:54

Gary Sanchez can't catch passed balls. He can do everything else pretty excellently

Jeff Sullivan

6:54

I will say that watching him makes me somewhat skeptical of the framing numbers

Byron Buxton

6:54

How do you adjust dodgers win probability knowing they have Jansen?

Jeff Sullivan

6:54

Not very much

medler60625

6:54

Eventually Sanchez is a DH, true?

Jeff Sullivan

6:54

Eventually everyone would be a DH

bill

6:54

which team has a better chance of getting back to the world series next year?

Jeff Sullivan

6:54

Dodgers

6:55

Well, actually, I'm not sure. I think the Dodgers should be better, but the Astros have the worse division

6:56

Forsythe has such a good eye

His actual batting skills are mediocre, but he knows the zone so well

Jack

6:56

Once the season ends, do you watch any other sports?

Jeff Sullivan

6:56

Hockey

Forsythe whiffs. Verlander has thrown 69 pitches. He's allowed no runs in five innings

6:57

Verlander on pace for a 124-pitch complete game. I think the Astros would let him do it

Phil

6:57

Impossible to be that coldly analytical about Springer vs Bregman when Springer has been ON FIRE. You go down with the other guy, even if he is also really good.

Jeff Sullivan

6:57

Bregman has also been good

Yakaru

6:58

If the difference is so small, doesn't the force at any base increase the chance of getting out of an inning and makes loading the bases the right decision?

Jeff Sullivan

6:58

You give the pitcher zero margin of error. Taking away the walk is a pretty significant deal

Long Live Jeff Frye

6:58

So we picked the over on Rich Hill picking 4.5 inning. Did we win because he pitched 4.66?

Jeff Sullivan

6:58

Yes!

6:59

When will Verlander throw his last pitch?

Morton Salt Girl

If the Dodgers win the Astros not scoring with 2nd 3rd no outs will be mentioned.

Jeff Sullivan

6:59

Poor Josh Reddick

This is Lude-icris

6:59

Why are the Dodgers in such a rush to get to their struggling bullpen

Jeff Sullivan

6:59

Because, unlike the Astros, they aren't so concerned about a small-sample slump

Hal

6:59

Has Verlander even gone to a 3-ball count yet?

Jeff Sullivan

6:59

I'm not sure he's thrown three balls

7:00

Boy does Jose Altuve swing hard

BJOGC

7:00

Does Morrow bat when his place comes up?

Jeff Sullivan

7:00

What? No, of course not

Ryan

7:00

Dodgers struggling with the high velo

Jeff Sullivan

7:00

In fairness, everyone struggles with the high velo

Especially when it's thrown by Justin Verlander

Brent

7:01

They just said JV’s spin rate on fastball in postseason is higher than reg. Potential evidence of lowered seems??

Jeff Sullivan

7:01

It's very similar to what it was in September. Not sure there's anything there

Erik

7:02

Am I the only advanced stats fan who hates spin rate? It means literally nothing to me. All that matters is the pitch's movement, right? I get that it's the spin which causes the movement, but I learn nothing by knowing the spin.

Jeff Sullivan

7:02

I liked being introduced to spin rate, but, yeah, personally, I find it's more useful to look at the horizontal and vertical movement
