Same question I asked previously, how much of an upset would it be if Washington wins? thanks.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:09

WSH was a 56% favorite to win this game

Meg Rowley

9:10

Their WE at this moment is 28%.

3B2K

9:12

sorry I meant the series.

Meg Rowley

9:13

Coming into the night, the Nats were favored by the ZiPS Postseason Game-By-Game Odds, 62%...

would imagine it is uh, now a little lower!

Eric A Longenhagen

9:13

Chirinos hit a cambio

Train Noises

9:13

TRAIN NOISES!!!!!!!

Meg Rowley

9:14

I've really enjoyed how many of the zoomed in, slow-mo replays this postseason have shown really clear shots of pitchers' grips

kevinthecomic

9:15

Thoughts on Chapman winning Reliever of the Year over Hendricks?

Meg Rowley

9:15

I think Hendricks was better, and the gap was not-small, and also the optics were bad, so double bad bummer

3B2K

9:17

Eric, anyone in the minors even come close to pitching like Greg Maddux? Or Meg.

Meg Rowley

9:17

Lots of dudes close to pitching like I would, which sure is a bummer for them.

Dreamer Bob

9:19

Is that the worst attempt to bunt you’ve ever seen?

Meg Rowley

9:19

Please, sometimes guys bunt the ball full into their faces!

Ryan

9:19

Is calling that homerun a "moonshot" an intentional reference to the Astros' space-program-themed name?

Eric A Longenhagen

9:20

If the question is "Who in the minors has the best command projection?" it's probably Tyler Phillips.

Meg Rowley

9:21

Would imagine the moonshot stuff is classic baseball term + Apollo 11 more than it is Astros specific.

Adam2

9:22

But does Tyler Phillips look like a total nerd while pitching?

Eric A Longenhagen

9:22

No, then we're talking Devin Smeltzer as the heir apparent.

Roger

9:23

Meg, have you ever made a mistake in your life? Do you hope people forgive you and continue to consider you for, say, continued employment or honors despite that mistake?

Meg Rowley

9:24

Even if you set aside the optics of giving Chapman that award this week, he... wasn't the best reliever in the American League, Roger.

Ligma

9:25

Nats gotta gets some runs

Meg Rowley

9:25

If they want to win, it would help.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:26

Hell yes, Panthers Niners tomorrow

Nick

9:27

Is Springer really as good of a Fielder as Buck just implied?

Meg Rowley

9:27

I would like to make the following political statement as a Seahawks fan: Go Panthers

Eric A Longenhagen

9:27

Not in CF

Another Adam

9:28

Nick he is better than Cecil, and close to Prince

Meg Rowley

9:29

this made me chuckle

Sharp

9:29

Does Urquidy have a bunch of movement on his FB or are the Nats just missing that badly.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:29

It's got good vertical movement.

Jordan

9:30

Long term, Soto or Acuna?

Meg Rowley

9:32

Acuña for me -- Soto's bat may be better but Acuña does more things really well

9:34

Another upshot of the white pants -- the grass stains pop

Nick

9:37

"Most in control starter." That Joe Buck has a way with words. What is a better phrase to convey the point he is trying to make?

Adam2

9:38

No improvement. He nailed it.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:38

lol

Meg Rowley

9:38

I probably would have talked about base runners allowed, or said something like "it's Urquidy who's cruised"

3B2K

9:40

Either of you ever imagine you would be doing this kind of work ?
