Uh Oh

11:13

I don’t think we want to know what Eaton’s nickname is.

Ben Clemens

11:13

Oddly it's also Tony Two Bags

Meg Rowley

11:13

that feels high to me, a scaredy cat

Ben Clemens

11:13

No one really understands why.

Adam2

11:14

It's too bad this Adam isn't Adam Lamb, because then he'd obviously be Sacrificial Lamb

Geoff

11:15

Who would be the favorites in a Scherzer-Greinke Game 7 according to zips?

Ben Clemens

11:15

Astros, but basically a coinflip. 51.something to 48.something

He Hate Me

11:15

Who's Adam Lamb?

Ben Clemens

11:16

Don't think he exists, but there's a Jake Lamb.

1% Bud Selig calls it a tie?

Ben Clemens

11:16

Haha well the somethings add up to 1.

Wire Fan

11:16

What is Doolittle's nickname? Domore? DL would be insensitive and IL doesn't make sense

Ben Clemens

11:17

On Twitter he's Obi-Sean

Meg Rowley

11:17

(sorry pals, am doing a little editorial wrangling)

Dystopian Future

11:17

Surely it's just "Doo"

Ben Clemens

11:17

Oh in the dugout, def yeah.

weezy

11:18

wonder if Altuve was out of the baseline

Vince Coleman

11:19

Rendon has been really good on 3rd all playoffs, and all year in fact. He is a little better than his reputation to my eyeballs.

Ben Clemens

11:19

Isn't his reputation.... very good?

Frustration

11:20

Regardless of teams or situations, are we ok with Joe Torre going onto the field to talk with umps between innings?

Ben Clemens

11:20

For me it's a hard no.

If that happened I hope he faces discipline.

Stras in the ninth?

Run it! (81.2% | 229 votes)

Doolittle please! (18.8% | 53 votes)

11:21

Makes the whole situation even worse for MLB, very questionable of Torre

Ben Clemens

11:21

Yeah I find that to be incredibly awful on his part. What is the upside here?

Brian CashGod

11:22

wait what's wrong with Torre checking in with the umps?

Ben Clemens

11:22

What is he going to say to them that isn't a problem?

Like, there's nothing he can say that helps the game.

And lots of things he can say that involve biasing their opinions.

'You need to make a makeup call'

Would he say that? No

11:23

But what is he saying that's helpful?

Nate

11:23

OK, the umps have had a rough patch here and tensions are running high, but I think they can settle in here and job Robles out on a called strike and get back into a rhythm here

Meg Rowley

11:24

I really hate that Siri commercial

bosoxforlife

11:24

A complete game in the World Series would warm every bone in my body, but send every true disciple of sabremetrics to their grave.

Ben Clemens

11:24

It's not super clear whether leaving him out there is so bad!

Super low leverage, and you get a benefit tomorrow.

Not Evan

11:24

If you're in court and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts whispers in your judge's ear, you've got a pretty great case on appeal.

Alex Bregman's Rabbi

I admit I voted to take Strasburg out in the 8th but also voted to keep him for the 9th
