It's possible, sure, but you've got a hell of a lot of good starts to explain

Jay Jaffe

10:56

no, we were 27th before you showed up, Meg.

Matt STL

10:57

Remove the hindsight of what we now know happened ... was it a strategic mistake to let Kershaw start the 5th, the batters facing a (tiring version of) him for a 3rd time in under 2 hours?

Jeff Sullivan

10:57

Kershaw was at like 69 pitches and the Dodgers didn't have a great bullpen option to turn to. I think you could justify taking Kershaw out before the fifth but letting him pitch wasn't egregious, to me

and for Ryu- wOBA this year Home .229 Away .339 And that's not including the postseason......

Jeff Sullivan

10:58

I don't care about a partial-season home/road split

Jay Jaffe

10:58

82.1 innings. a heavy reliever workoad. and we know single-season splits are set in stone for them

/sarcasm font

Biz Marquis

10:58

Did Joe Buck just call Ken Rosenthal "honey"?

Jeff Sullivan

10:58

Max Muncy is such a 2004-era Red Sox kind of hitter

10:59

He's also every Oakland Athletic from the turn of the millennium

Meg Rowley

10:59

Lot of folks tune in during the World Series who didn't even in the most recent playoff rounds. No harm in getting people up to speed.

Jeff Sullivan

11:00

Turner with one of those line drives straight at the camera

nickg

11:00

If you ask me, this game has now achieved Moderate Muncy.

Jeff Sullivan

11:00

Eovaldi is up (again?) and now Grandal is at the plate, for Freese. So much is happening!

Jay Jaffe

11:01

Grandal will be charged with a passed ball during his own plate appearance, setting a World Series record of sorts

Dystopian Future

11:01

Coming up to the plate, Yasmani "GIDP" Grandal

Section329

11:01

Mr Pass Ball

Jeff Sullivan

11:01

Grandal, career, playoffs: .100/.250/.200 (85 PA)

The 6ix

11:02

Brasier, it's called a bread trimmer. Buy one.

Jeff Sullivan

11:02

I love this typo

Jay Jaffe

11:02

7-for-70 with a 16% walk rate for Grandal. weird.

Meg Rowley

11:02

I get it, and analytics is about telling the truth, but man we are gnarly to these guys sometimes.

Dystopian Future

11:03

Narrative this, narrative that. Stop trying to fit everything into a narrative! Kershaw is a great pitcher. He had a stinker tonight. Hopefully he goes out there in a few days and makes a good start. Don't think too much about it.

Jeff Sullivan

11:03

Grandal raising that playoff OBP!

Jay Jaffe

11:03

17.4% walk rate

Jeff Sullivan

11:04

Jay is on top of it

Meg Rowley

11:04

OBP! OBP! OBP!

stever20

11:04

how crazy is it that LA has exactly 0 position players left right now(well they will when Grandal gets put in at catcher)..... I think I like how Boston did more of the old school 14/11 formula.....

Jay Jaffe

11:04

my Yasmani Grandal Is the Catching Bargain of the Offseason piece remains unwritten

Jeff Sullivan

11:04

That's one of the worse throws I've ever seen Bradley attempt

11:05

5-4!

Tyler

11:05

JBJ usually makes that throw

5 Run Homer

11:05

Machado is getting some boring-ass RBI tonight

Meg Rowley

11:05

Better than a boring ass-RBI I suppose

Jeff Sullivan

11:05

JBJ should've had a better shot to get Muncy there. Just badly off-line

dead mccann walking

11:06

is it possible the ALCS & WS finally can dispel the myth that pitchers batting adds more strategy? pinch hitters every inning

Jeff Sullivan

11:06

What it really does is add more traps

Brian CashGod

11:07

what on earth is a boring ass-run-batted-in?

Meg Rowley

11:08

Unnecessary butt first slide somewhere while a runner scores duh
