Thoughts on the postseason de-juiced ball?
Meg Rowley
7:41
On the one hand, it has likely contributed to starters going deeper in games, which I like. On the other, it's awful! Anything that makes us talk about something other than what's going on on the field during October is awful!

29 first-inning pitches for Verlander
23 for Pax (only 11 strikes)

Google says games 1,2,6, and 7 of the world series start at 1:00pm eastern. This has to be incorrect...
Meg Rowley
7:43

7:44
These early starts make no sense. Does MLB realize that people work?
Meg Rowley
7:44
Population concentration in the eastern and central time zones is pretty compelling for them.

So will there be chats for WS game one and then the if necessaries, like for the DS and CS rounds?
Meg Rowley
7:45
Barring something unexpected, we'll have chats for... EVERY WORLD SERIES GAME

Oh man, I want to let off an air horn. Is this how Kiley feels all the time?

FOX sure does take its time switching from the CF camera shot to the actual outfield where the ball is traveling.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:46
Fox's broadcast appears to be comprimised by MLB's wishes to never ever show what signs the catcher is putting down.
Meg Rowley
7:48
Yeesh, Sánchez.

Hold up, I've been soapboxing for years that it's better for the east coast to actually be awake for the end of games than it is for the west coast to catch the first inning. I am willing to die on this hill, Pacific Ocean people.
Meg Rowley
7:49
When I lived in Wisconsin, it was perfect. Now that I work from home and get to watch anyhow, it's fine.

Westcoast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear

Athleisure? Pass.

As a pacific coast convert (from NYC) I don't mind these times. Easy solution... just stop working.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:51
Yeah it's probably easier said than done for a lot of folks, but telling your boss to stick it once in a while is a good impulse. Sneak out, says I.
Meg Rowley
7:51
Yeah, didn't your pipes just burst? I bet your pipes burst.
better sort that out
Eric A Longenhagen
7:52
"Hey, Gerald, didn't your grandmother die last World Series, too?:
"And the one before that?"

Wonder what Pax has under his cap brim
Meg Rowley
7:54
Hopes and dreams, probably.
Eric A Longenhagen

Are you accusing James Paxton of cheating.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:57
The use of topical substances is generally accepted by teams.
Wire Fan
7:58
How long is Paxton for this game with that pitchcount?
Meg Rowley
7:59
will depend on game state obviously but, while he's done it less with NY (I believe), he's gone 110/120 in the past comfortably
Joe
8:01
There's no way that Boone lets Paxton throw 120 pitches today. We will definitely see the bullpen before that.
Meg Rowley
8:01
Agreed, but he's got some range, ya know?
kevinthecomic
8:03
is gurriel sporting golden spikes?
Meg Rowley
8:03
Indeed
Hire Joe Morgan?
8:03
Paxton seems to have a nice, easy motion.  Is he doing something mechanically that's caused his injuries, or is it just that he's pitching?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:03
Eh, I know Seattle had him scrap the curve for a while after he came back from injury. Some guys just get hurt.
8:04
Like Adrian Morejon was scratched with a back thing today. Just keeps getting hurt.
8:06
lol, Altuve is open now
