Howdy from Tempe, everyone. Hope your weekend started off well.

Meg Rowley

8:06

And hello from Seattle. I similarly hope you've all enjoyed your Saturday.

Who gets to write the World Series montage intros?

I feel like we'd be good at that. They should let us do it.

Eric A Longenhagen

Does the FCC have a pun cap?

Why no home whites?

5 Run Homer

8:10

I see the Nats are wearing their Corbin Bleus again tonight

Eric A Longenhagen

8:10

They're something like 9-1 this postseason in the blues, right?

Meg Rowley

8:11

I tend to like the white pants with a colorful jersey combo better than the all white unis anyhow.

Nick from Jersey

8:12

I feel like a fangraphs entire broadcast would be a much better way to enjoy a game. Can that happen at somepoint?

Meg Rowley

8:13

You'll have to settle (not that it is really "settling") for Petriello on the nerd cast for now.

Dennis

8:14

were can we listen to mike petriello? he is doing tonights game??

Meg Rowley

8:14

No, sorry, just meant, when they do do them.

Eric A Longenhagen

8:15

Corbin has been a two-pitch guy for a while now, not sure that's gonna cut it against Houston.

kershaws the GOAT

8:16

wow that was fast

kdl

8:17

Lots of Houston fans in the park apparently...is this weird, or am I overthinking?

Meg Rowley

8:17

Would think in a place like DC, with a lot of transplants, not especially?

5 Run Homer

8:18

I just realized that this is an incredibly humid World Series, city-wise

Meg Rowley

8:18

My nightmare!

Byron Buxton

8:19

Is Marlins Man there? I hope he's okay

Meg Rowley

8:19

Haven't noticed him -- maybe he's back a few rows?

Nick from Jersey

8:20

Is the weather much better there in Seattle?

Meg Rowley

8:20

We don't do humidity, just rain, and crushing, terrible gloominess in the winter.

Crushing, Terrible Gloominess

8:22

In my humble opinion, mound visits in the first inning are generally not a good sign

Eric A Longenhagen

8:22

I concur, doctor.

Adam

8:24

Having Corbin pitch in game 1 probably led to this, right?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:24

I just think Corbin's ill-equipped to deal with this lineup more than one, slider-heavy jaunt through. Sacks loaded, one out is not a great time to see if you have feel for that changeup you've only thrown 6% of the time this year.

Eel Ffilc

I'm gonna pour some coffee out for my East Coast homies.

Eric A Longenhagen

8:25

Coffee sounds great

Meg Rowley

8:26

(extreme I work from home and this is my job anyway voice) start the games at 3 pm PT, it's fine

TrentC

8:26

Over or under 3 innings for Urquidy?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:27

Over, I think he's going to pitch really well. Lots of 93-94 with ride (due to hand position), plus change, slider works if he executes it

the location, i mean. it'll get hammered if he leaves it in the zone. He's a sneaky offseason top 100 candidate.

Meg Rowley

8:29

Lance Barksdale sure does have a bald head

Guest

8:30

I am at a Halloween party; Meg, I am given to understand you have experience sneaking away from friend events to watch baseball. Tips?

Tinker to Taylor to SoldiertoSpy

8:31

Wait, Urquidy's still a prospect?

Dennis

8:31

It is interesting how the Astros use Urquidy. He uses his changup 25.5% of the time. I think that is high for an astros pitcher

Eric A Longenhagen

8:31

Was changeup/command guy coming into the year. Velo spiked, 'stros tweaked his breaking balls, now he's a dude.
