You know your Utah beers. Philley is just my favorite team

Can we add extra adds to Pedro Baez's Fangraphs page so it takes longer to load?

Jay Jaffe

11:27

I grew up in SLC (1973-88) and my parents are still there. I wouldn't move back home if you paid me but 1-2 visits a year is great, and watching a craft beer culture come to life there, amid the overarching conservative culture, has been gratifying.

Neil

Are we piling on with the Baez digs, or is there just so much more time to comment?

Jeff Sullivan

11:28

In Baez's defense, he (1) is pretty good, and (2) isn't the only slow worker in the majors

Uintas Hop Nosh was always a solid go-to if you lived near Utah.

Jeff Sullivan

11:29

Here's Alex Wood, who's like Chris Sale without any of the anything

Jay Jaffe

11:29

I get Hop Nosh here in NYC. it's part of the rotation.

Jeff Sullivan

11:29

Ding dong!

Jay Jaffe

11:29

Alex Wood has been flat out dreadful out of the bullpen

Meg Rowley

11:29

Oh dear

Jeff Sullivan

11:30

That pitch was low and out of the zone. Delmon Young special

Grandawful

11:30

Alex Wood is bad

BASEBALL RUN AWAY

Chris

11:30

Seems like game

Meg Rowley

11:30

Very pleased Nunez didn't hurt his (vague lower body something) while running the bases.

Jay Jaffe

11:31

that's wood's 3rd HR allowed in 4.1 IP this fall. He's got the hat trick, one allowed in each round, so there's that.

Baseball Run Away

(that's what my daughter calls a home run)

Adam

11:31

Sorry it took so long, here is the bat boy giving the card to Pederson

Meg Rowley

11:31

Thank you!

Guy Smiley

11:32

As much as we'd all like the Dodgers to steal this one, Jay, it doesn't look as likely now. Oh btw, Jankees lose.

Jay Jaffe

11:32

"if Baez gets out of this at least." - important caveat.

Grandawful

11:33

Alex Wood is making a good case to be a starter next year by being bad out of the bullpen

Hank

11:34

Baez vs Devers or Wood vs Nunez seems like an easy call. Roberts hasn't been great tonight.

Mike

11:34

There's an argument that Wood not Ferguson should have been left off. I wish I had made it. Hes been putrid since August

Matt

11:34

I have to say ... MLB is attempting to sell their game on a national stage ... and as much as I liked him as a player, John Smoltz is a terrible, brutal, awful color commentator

Jeff Sullivan

11:34

Four-hour games also do them no good in that regard

Jay Jaffe

11:34

Yeah i raised my eyebrows at swapping Alexander in for Ferguson, who has pitched well in his spots.

Jeff Sullivan

11:35

Wonder how Brian Cashman feels when he sees Dave Dombrowski's hair

Jay Jaffe

11:35

as I noted in my Jansen/Kimbrel piece today, the move of the surplus starters to the bullpen — Maeda, Wood and Stripling — really hasn't paid off for the Dodgers. Their bullpen was solid down the stretch and in the first 2 rounds in spite of that, not because of it.

Meg Rowley

11:36

I am jealous of Dombrowski's hair, and my hair is pretty good.

Scuffy Mcgee

11:36

Wood going to be "injured" after this game and caleb Ferguson added?

Jeff Sullivan

11:36

I would definitely not put that past them! No one manipulates the injury rules like the Dodgers

Jay Jaffe

11:37

It only matters for Cashman because his many world series rings scratch his scalp when he runs his fingers over it.

Tyler

11:37

I does not help that kids on the east coast can not watch the end of these games, hell they can not even watch the middle.

Meg Rowley

11:37

Four time zones makes things tricky.

Jay Jaffe

11:37

would you let your children watch this mess? Shame on you

Hal

11:37

I know "process over results" and all but relievers giving up homers after a mid-inning pitching change is always so funny to me
