No free tacos in Jakarta.

How long would this game have to go on before Hinch would consider bringing Giles in?

Dave Cameron

8:18

I'd say at least 11

Hinch basically just said Verlander is pitching

That guy from France

8:19

I'm in Paris, it's 1 am, and I'm hoping for over 4,5 hours. I don't want the season to end :/

Bruce

8:19

Can you at least admit that Kershaw has performed worse in the playoffs that the regular season over his career?

Dave Cameron

8:19

Of course. Who disputes that?

John Autin

8:19

Dave, you truly believe there is NO significance to Kershaw's postseason underachievement?

Dave Cameron

8:19

Yep.

Yu Darvish

8:19

Do we bring out Kershaw if we don't have a lead?

Dave Cameron

8:19

Yes, he pitches no matter what.

He Hate Me

8:19

JV pitching "if a lead late."

Dave Cameron

8:19

He's the closer, basically.

Unless Peacock just shoves and they're up big.

Seth Moko

8:20

What determines using Kershaw or Jansen first? Matchups and handedness?

Dave Cameron

8:20

Yeah, probably.

Potentially batting order too.

Don't want to bring in Kershaw when the P spot is due up soon.

But maybe willing to do that with Jansen if you only plan on getting 1 IP from him anyway.

Bruce

8:21

You think there's a legit chance Jansen comes in in the 5th?

Dave Cameron

8:21

Yes.

Coleshaw

8:21

Why not start Kershaw and bring Darvish in for relief?

Dave Cameron

8:21

Better to let Darvish face the good righties as many times as possible.

8:22

Here we go!

First slider didn't look great.

Neither did second one.

Evan

8:22

*breaking ball

David

Joe

8:23

Second one looked like the first.

ChatzMcGee

8:23

That’s not what Roberts wanted to see.

Joe

8:23

That's a very bad sign for Darvish.

kevinthecomic

8:23

grooved one after two sliders miss badly

Justin Verseaer

8:23

Couple awful sliders to start it off

Show Hey O'Tawny

8:23

That happened, things are happening

NtflxnRichHill

8:23

Doesn't he also have a curve ball? Did they learn nothing?

Dave Cameron

8:23

Welp

8:24

Basically as good a start as Houston could hope for

NtflxnRichHill

8:24

Anyone up in the bullpen?

Dave Cameron

8:24

That was a weak grounder.

Don't panic.
