he's still on the hook for those baserunners, Dys

Uh oh, Josh James is a young pitcher, he might not know what kind of hitter Encarnacion is!

What's worse than a crooked inning?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:19
a true and honest inning

Every pitcher under 30 was literally born yesterday.

what in the world is Edwin swinging at?

HOW DID JAMES KNOW?

Greinke must have passed James a note

I don't understand, Dan.  That lack of information will take James a long way!

Ottavino coming in, Tanaka done for the night
AvatarDan Szymborski

Seems like a waste of Ottavino

He's actually scuffled a bit lately
and hasn't had a long leash. I'd bet this is the start of a multi-pitcher inning
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:20
that's fair

I mean, the whole Astros offense has scuffled a bit lately as well...

true, true

could it also be to get some guys work?  the Yanks did sweep their series so off since Monday.
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:24
on the one hand, there's that, on the other, there's the argument that the more times these hitters see these relievers, the more likely they are to beat 'em

Someone's going to have to explain Smoltz's explanation of how the Yankees use their bullpen to me.
I think he just said they use the bullpen by using their pitchers and then he just names them all.

Wow I thought that ball was out off of Springer's bat.
103.9 EV, 24 degree launch angle.

10:26
Whoa, a hit from the stros!
Dystopian Future
10:26
I think if John Smoltz listened to John Smoltz John Smoltz would hate John Smoltz.
Constant Gardner
10:26
Nice grab on that Springer fly.  Is he still a centerfielder?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:26
He's still fine
Smoltz
10:26
Here are some pitcher names
That Guy
10:27
maybe being conservative with Ottavino latelywas the right move after all...
Fat Matt

Is there less impact now from seeing pitchers more given how much data and video is available?
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:27
video helps but I imagine that there's no substitute for being in the box against the guy.

So Smoltz is disagreeing with the times through the order penalty for starters, but then saying relievers won’t be as good if the hitters face them too much.
Dystopian Future
10:28
That was embarrassing.
Adam2
10:28
Didn’t know the Royals made the ALCS
Lunar verLander
10:28
...wut?

10:29
omg what a crazy play there....  if this game turns around on that- just baseball....
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:29
well that wasn't good. Gregorius and Torres can't figure out whose ball it is on a chopper up the middle. I think that was Didi's miscue. he picks it and flips to Torres to start  the double play...
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:30
That never would have happened if Jeter were the SS. Because Torres would know there's no way Jeter would be close to fielding that.
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:30
and it looks like they get the double play on the next groundball, but it's under review
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:30
Oh, that's a DP
Not Evan
10:30
What if anything does it say about Smoltz' career that we find his analysis so ridiculous? Seems at least interesting that big-league success needn't be correlated with understanding the game at this sorta managerial level.
