It is still surprising. Which is good, I think.

Verlander-Kershaw WS game 7 matchup ultimate redemption/failure matchup

Craig Edwards

I just plugged those narrative into my computer and it exploded.

Morbo

Odds the Astros resign Cole?

Craig Edwards

11:55

Pretty low. They traded for Greinke and can fill in with a mid-tier starter and still win 100 games next year.

it's not that Verlander is 0-5 but it's also with a 5.73 ERA in those games….

Craig Edwards

They say whoever has the most fun wins, and right now, Washington is having a lot of fun.

David Laurila

Conversely, Lefty Gomez went 6-0, 2.86 in the World Series.

Assuming Craig is responding on his phone/tablet now.

Craig Edwards

11:57

No. I lied to make a bad joke.

That is not Adam Eaton, FOX.

Craig Edwards

11:57

I'm sure he's a fox to some.

Gotta say it...Baby Shark!

One of the biggest cheers in NLCS Game Four at National Park came when Gerardo Parra hit a pinch-hit single.

Has Verlander read Yu Darvish's tweet yet?

*** Thursday, October 24 ***

Craig Edwards

12:00

Yes, and Houston has now denied Darvish's request for a press pass with clubhouse access.

astros win expectancy is finally 0%!

Craig Edwards

Nationals have outscored their opponents 87-4 after the 6th inning this post season.

The Nationals have outscored their opponents 87-4 after the sixth inning this postseason.

that's the part of the game they're supposed to be bad!

Rubes

Ticket prices for games 3, 4, and 5 starting around $700 for standing room only on stubhub. Just looked at my ticket stub from 1979 Game 7...$12.

Morbo

12:02

As a Cardinals fan j think the best way to fix our offense is to sign Gerrit Cole. Rotation of Cole, Flaherty, Carlos Martinez, Mikolas, and Hudson/Wainwright (?). If you only allow your opponents to score every fifth day you don't need to score very much.

Dystopian Future

12:03

The seats are emptying and finally that's a few boos from the Houston crowd. Not the note you want to travel to DC on.

Craig Edwards

12:03

That's basically what they did this year, except without Cole. They've got guys locked into most of the positions on the field so they need to improve where they can and the rotation makes the most sense.

When are you going to update the World Series odds? You still have the Nats with a 44.95% chance of winning the series, and that was before Game 1.

Craig Edwards

12:03

after the game.

Tony Wolfe

12:06

oof, that could have been cleaner

Rubes

12:07

fangraphs had odds of Nats winning the series at about 45% going into game 2, which was a tad insulting. Probability of Nats winning the series going into game 3?

Craig Edwards

12:07

guessing around 65 or so, but that's just a wild guess.

If the Nationals can win this it would have to be one of the all time upsets. Karma exists! ie for this stuff about Osuna recently.

Craig Edwards

12:08

I mean, sure, but /gestures wildly at professional sports/ not really.

David Laurila

12:09

Thanks to everyone who stuck around to the end. Long game, long chat, good fans all of you.

Tony Wolfe

12:09

I know the projections weren't kind to the Nationals, but I still have trouble buying into this being that large-scale of an upset.

Craig Edwards

12:11

That was a lot of fun. Close game for a while, then not for the last little bit.

Thanks everyone for all the questions. We'll go ahead and close things up tonight.

Tony Wolfe

12:11

Til next time, everyone!
