insert notable commentary about the Rays mimicking the Dodgers in focusing on a 2-seam oriented staff, generating higher GB rates (Dodgers lowest 4 seam FB rate, highest sinker rate, Rays 2nd lowest 4 seam, 2nd highest sinker).

Wanna make contact?  Lets make the contact worse.

Well until Nick Anderson comes in
But yes excellent point

Apologies but I started watching this TB-Hou game late due to work obligations - are any fans permitted in this round?
Ben Clemens
11:17
I'm not sure about the NLCS, to be honest. In the ALCS, no fans will be allowed.
Dodger Fan
11:18
I believe there will be fans at NLCS and WS games.

'Stros dont have a better hitter than Diaz here?
Ben Clemens
11:19
I guess the thinking is you're going to PH for Maldonado
So if Reddick is taking that one, it's Abraham Toro or Aledmys?
11:21
Honestly, the fact that Diaz got that much on the ball is outrageous

One of the more subtly amazing things about watching baseball for me is when you see a hitter look like he barely got a piece of the ball with like, the very end of his bat, and the ball still travels like 300 feet
Ben Clemens
11:21
Haha yeah!

High Leverage Hitter Josh Reddick.
Ben Clemens
11:22
I still believe that this split (if you don't know, Reddick is one of the worst "clutch" hitters as measured by the ratio btw. hi-lev and lo-lev PA's)
is due to the fact that historically, he would just only get lefties in high-leverage spots
So it was a stealth platoon split
Dodger Fan

I am not allowed to like Josh Reddick

Does Castillo have an advantage because of the city they are playing in?
Bat
11:23
Well, Reddick was clutch there!
Ben Clemens

San Diego Castillo
I like it
Dodger Fan
11:24
Castillo's pitches are very aesthetically pleasing
Ben Clemens
11:24
The camera angle helps too
I find that from this offset angle, righty sinkers are awesome-looking

Did I miss them go over substitutions? Who is at 3rd for TB right now?
Ben Clemens

Wendle

Brosseau with the fast pitch softball delivery to Castillo

PFPs are important.

I miss the Dodgers changing 6 guys positions twice a game, but man did the postseason broadcasts struggle with that.
Ben Clemens
11:26
The game where Travis d'Arnaud played the field is one of my favorites

What do we know about Straw as a baserunner?
AvatarDavid Laurila
11:26
That he can fly.

This is good drama.
Ben Clemens

Look at this
After the game
You'll like it
I love that Straw is in scoring position here
11:29
What a great game
