2.76 for correa AB. Highest of the game so far.

Byron Buxton

10:40

How often does a change up break a bat?

Craig Edwards

10:40

Ask Italian Walter White.

David Laurila

10:41

At the risk of stating the obvious, this is a good baseball game.

I’ll never forget the time I saw Zappa at the Uptown. We mis-timed our hit of acid and it kicked in during a blizzard, it was awesome!

David Laurila

10:42

The first concert I saw was Zappa. Seriously.

Craig Edwards

10:42

Yes it is. Great pitching by Strasburg there. Still 2-2 after six.

David Laurila

10:42

I am admittedly the oldest water at FanGraphs.

IBBs in context of variance was most recently mentioned in this one: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/should-the-nationals-duck-gerrit-cole/

David Laurila

10:42

Writer, not water. But maybe water, as well.

Craig Edwards

10:43

Ben is good. You should read and follow him on twitter.

Tony Wolfe

10:44

Woah.

Bale

10:45

Verlander isn't done until he gives up a HR; otherwise it's not a Verlander start. At least in 2019.

Craig Edwards

10:45

That comment was made 45 minutes ago.

Adam2

10:46

I voted Verlander above! What’s my prize?

David Laurila

10:46

Regarding my early Kurt Suzuki-Muddy Ruel comparison, old Muddy didn't homer in the aforementioned World Series. And yes, any excuse to bring up Muddy Ruel will be exercised.

Craig Edwards

10:46

you shouldn't be in the polling game for prizes.

Pontoons

10:47

If Robles reaches is he Verlander's last batter?

Craig Edwards

10:47

yes, i think.

Tony Wolfe

10:47

I doubt he faces Trea for a fourth time

Yolo

10:47

Tired Strasburg or Fernando Rodney for the 7th?

Tony Wolfe

10:47

Rodney.

Craig Edwards

10:47

They can't really go Strasburg, I don't think.

10:48

I'm happy for Kevin Long

Craig Edwards

10:48

Just needed to get out of New York.

Also, this is hilarious.

Yu Darvish had been waiting on this moment for 544 days. 😂

David Laurila

10:48

I think Davey Martinez has pushed Strasburg far enough. Yes he's a horse, but it's pen time.

Tony Wolfe

10:48

Next-level pettiness from Yu

Nico Robin

10:49

darvish's twitter game is top notch

Craig Edwards

10:50

Pressly who almost didn't make the roster, makes his series debut.

David Laurila

10:50

Speaking of Davey Martinez, would the Nationals be here had he been fired in late May, as many were speculating at the time?

someone

10:51

If Suzuki is Ruel, which nationals ace is Walter Johnson?

David Laurila

10:52

Scherzer, because he'll likely get the win in relief in Game 7 if it comes to that, as Johnson did in 1924.

Pontoons

10:52

Scherzer is Johnson. They both throw sidearm.

Craig Edwards

10:56

In Game 4 of the World Series in 1992, Pat Borders put the Blue Jays up over the Braves against Tom Glavine with a homer. Went on to win World Series MVP. Smoltz was there.

CBeisbol

10:56

Will the Nationals win with only three runs?

Craig Edwards

10:56

I wouldn't bet on that.

Tony Wolfe

10:56

Which is why I don't mind that bunt all that much

10:57

Welp

David Laurila

For those of you who care about personalities, I'd never talked to Ryan Pressly prior to this summer. After we talked about his killer curveball for my pitch series, we chatted about this that and the other in the dugout for probably 10 minutes. Totally chill, without a hint of pretension.
