Hello fellow baseball fans. Let's get this thing started.

Dan Szymborski

Greetings chatters and chatees.

8:06

The end. The end of baseball.

Magic Kingdome

Let's pretend the Mariners make the World Series in the next few years [hearty chuckle]. Who throws out the first pitch?

David Laurila

8:06

Don't know what we're going to see tonight, but I'm rooting for a nail-biter with no ump-show controversies.

Dan Szymborski

8:07

Unless he's signed with a team, no way King Felix doesn't get to throw out a first pitch in this case.

8:08

be back in a minute, I need to go murder a cat.

Fifteen World Series Game 7s have been decided by one run, five of which went extra innings. There have also been blowouts: In 1909, the Pirates pounded the Tigers 8-0. In 1934, the Cardinals crushed the Tigers 11-0. In 1956, the Yankees dominated the Dodgers 9-0. In 1985, the Royals routed the Cardinals 11-0.

Is there anything better than game 7?

David Laurila

8:09

The Red Sox won Game 8 of the 1912 World Series in 10 innings. (Game 2 ended in a tie.) That’s maybe better?

Just got the cable hooked up. Phew. The outlet is not near the TV, I had to jerry-rig together 3 cables with a splitter and some other doodad with coax in/out... and that was just to get to the box, which has a fourth cable going to the HDMI switcher that then has a cable going to the TV. If this works I'll be amazed

Chirinos has made an outstanding play to retire Eaton each of the last two evenings.

Dan Szymborski

8:12

Back, there was some kitchen havoc. I didn't know which kitten to murder so they survive for now.

8:13

And naturally, when I step away, an inning goes fast.

Jayce WHO ?!

8:13

I know weather makes it difficult, but it would be so good for there to always be a 4 day layoff between game 6 and 7

Dan Szymborski

8:13

Feels weird. Part of baseball is the grind.

Jayce WHO ?!

8:13

All I really want is Rodney to close this one out and shoot that arrow into the air - the single least probable ending I can realistically imagine

THE Chili Master

8:13

Game 7 deserves something special. Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans! Mmmmm🏆☢️

Dan Szymborski

8:14

🤮

Anthony S

So it looks like the consensus has the likelihood of the Astros winning at somewhere between 52-60%. What say ye?

Dan Szymborski

8:14

ZiPS had it fairly even, but who knows what Scherzer's "true" ability is at this particular moment.

Cesar Cedeno

8:14

On pregame Big Hurt claimed MadBum was never the same after going 5 in relief in G7 2014. Um, Bumgarner had his two highest WAR seasons in 2015-16. C'mon Frank!

David Laurila

8:14

MadBum fact: Not only hasn’t he not allowed a run in seven postseason innings as a reliever, he hasn’t allowed allowed a run in four-and-two-thirds regular-season innings as a reliever.

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:14

Dear Dan,

Where is the Chat that was Promised?

Thank you, kindly.

Dan Szymborski

8:15

The true chat is the people you blocked on Twitter on the way.

Scratched Correa

8:15

Hopefully I get to make a celebrating kate upton joke tonight because Dan is here. He’s the best!

LFC Mike

8:15

Game 7 and a Game 7 SzymChat! Does it get any better than this for high drama mixed with irreverent commentary? 😁👍

Dan Szymborski

8:15

What are you guys buttering me up for? I'm not helping move any couches this weekend.

David Laurila

8:16

Sad to hear that Ron Fairly died today. He played for the 1969 Expos, the first team in Washington Nationals franchise history. Can’t help but wonder if he’d have been watching tonight.

Dan Szymborski

8:16

Yeah, I saw that. :-(

Hire Joe Morgan?

8:16

It is the Chat that was Promised!

Train Noises

8:17

Am I the only one bothered by Greinke's photo in MPB At Bat is one where he still has a mullet?

Dan Szymborski

8:17

Once you have a mullet, you always have a mullet.

druidiful

8:17

This is going to be a 1-0 2 hour game.

Mrow?

8:17

Kittens? Please explain?

8:17

Scherzer is heavily drugged up, right? Chances this causes long-term damage to his pitching career?

David Laurila

8:18

This is a reasonable question.

Dan Szymborski

8:18

I made the possibly foolish decision to adopt two *bonded* kittens so that they could stay together.

And now all my stuff is broken.

I doubt there's any long-term damage unless there's an actual injury
