Now that is spicy.

He Hate Me

11:25

not super clear? Isn't he in the fourth or fifth time through the order??

Ben Clemens

11:25

Yeah but it's low leverage and the bullpen being fresh for tomorrow matters.

11:26

Like, I get that it doesn't feel low leverage, but up three with three outs left.

He Hate Me

11:26

And I voted for him to pitch both the 8th and 9th

Ben Clemens

11:26

Well if you're just trying to maximize your odds of winning this game, I'd take him out.

But if you're trying to maximize your odds of winning the series, a fresh bullpen is nice.

Theory: put your worst umpires out for the World Series to make the implicit case for robot umpires. Joe Torre’s 4d move

Ben Clemens

11:28

500 readers in this chat, don't think I've seen anything like that before.

Nice crowd!

lukewarmtakes

11:28

Pyrex, the lack of Joe West and Angel Hernandez disproves your theory.

Ben Clemens

11:28

Well he can't make it *that* obvious.

i just got here, is the room as mad at umpires as Baseball Twitter?

Ben Clemens

11:28

Indeed.

Meg Rowley

11:29

Turner should just stand on the bag and refuse to move forever

York

11:29

I'd like Trea Turner to check swing and ask for an appeal to Torre.

Meg Rowley

"I live here now, this is my home, welcome to the living room that is also where I sleep and also, it's a square."

Trea should have taken his bat to 2nd

Meg Rowley

11:31

yesss

This is Lude-i-cris

11:31

Eaton is still a three true outcomes hitter

Meg Rowley

11:31

I'm offended by how bad an actor A-Rod is

Ben Clemens

11:31

Eaton keeps discovering new true outcomes.

Brian CashGod

11:31

to be fair, a base is about the size of a San Francisco apartment affordable on an MLB salary

Ben Clemens

11:32

As someone who rents an apartment in SF.... look, you're not wildly off base here

Unlike, say, Trea Turner.

Meg Rowley

11:32

lol

Ben Clemens

11:32

Oh boy guys, still an odd lead.

Meg Rowley

11:32

"I went to Rice"

Ben Clemens

11:33

Rendon sent that ball to Rice.

Now Strasburg is definitely staying in.

Do you think a player would rather win playing for their childhood team, or win against their childhood team?

Ben Clemens

11:34

Uh, for?

Is this close?

Robot Nats

11:35

How did we go from over-emoting Harper to ice in the veins Rendon and Strasburg? Also, viva Strasmus!

Ben Clemens

11:36

Well Soto is taking up Harper's mantel.

NickG

11:36

If Strasburg pitches a CG, it will prove analytics wrong and all teams will have to fire their GMs!

Ben Clemens

11:36

That's how it works actually!

Alex

11:36

That shot of Greinke was gold

Ben Clemens

11:37

Greinke looks like he just found out the World Series was going on and had to get out of bed to watch.
