You just can't hold Yordan down.
Ben Clemens
5:19
Last year, in one of the Rangers games against the Astros, I remember all these features about how the Rangers had cracked the code
5:20
you just throw him (I can't remember what the pitch was) and hten he's easy
and then he batted like .600 the rest of the series
MOOOOOKIE
5:20
Yordan just fought that one off.....to the wall
Guest
5:20
Is Yordan hurt?
NG
5:20
Yordan with the most casual double ever
Ben Clemens
5:20
Yeah he's hurt
Guest

Why did they pinch-run?
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:21
yeah he missed time last week with a knee sprain
Ben Schneider
5:20
I think about Ben's Kaboyashi Maru article every time I watch Yordan
Ben Clemens
5:20
Only one of two articles I've written about him being impossible
There's also 'Yordan Alvarez, Un-Game-Plan-Able"
5:21
it's such a trope at this point

Good postseason pitching...or bad hitting.  But good first round games so far.

Montgomery K'd Yordan like 3 times on the curveball but as reported Yordan had an upset tummy
Ben Clemens
5:22
Ah right, that one. Also like.... he's struck out three times in a game before
Davy Andrews
5:22
Well, that's the secret then.
Ben Clemens
5:22
that has happened. baseball contains multitudes

food poisoning is a great post-season performer across all leagues and sports
Ben Clemens
5:24
only Michael Jordan has beaten it

How did the Royals make the playoffs with a left fielder literally worse than the White Sox' counterpart?
Ben Clemens
5:24
b/c of the White Sox's Bobby Witt Jr. counterpart
or rather, b/c of the Royals' Paul DeJong counterpart. Plus they got DeJong too!
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:27
I just checked. DeJong got off to a hot start post-trade, and hit for a 148 wRC+ in August... and a -29 wRC+ in September (.135/.154/.135 in 60 PA!)
Ben Clemens
5:25
bad bunt spot, please stop
Davy Andrews
5:25
Wow. That's nuts.
South Detroit
5:25
Thank you Pena
Guest
5:26
Royals scored but no one watching haha
Ben Clemens
5:26
too much drama in Houston!
CirqueDuSoulay
5:26
three straight hits against a flailing closer and you give up an out (gotta say, almost a perfect bunt though)
Ben Clemens
5:26
When you execute a tough thing as well as possible and make an out, that's peak baseball
Shirtless George Brett
5:26
Bobby By God Philadelphia WOO! Witt Jr.
MOOOOOKIE
5:27
at least it was sorta close to a hit....? how often does that throw go awry? still terrible tactics
Ben Schneider
5:27
I watch a fair amount of NPB for work and I can't stand how often teams bunt
Brown and Gold Star
5:27
Wow don't love that bunt. Tragic really.

What is Espada doing?

Would anybody mind if Vinny P became a postseason darling ?
Davy Andrews
5:27
I mean, is there anybody who doesn't love him?
