given his experience on the infield, if this is an actual problem now, it isn't likely to be one long-term.

Let's enjoy the amount of emotion Rich Hill attaches to every pitch.
Joe
8:18
Rich Hill curveball is easily my favorite pitch to watch
PHW
8:18
am i crazy for thinking the double lefty idea with hill and urias is great?
Craig Edwards
8:19
using two starting pitchers for relatively short bursts is probably a good idea regardless of handedness.
Dave Cameron
8:19
I still would have preferred Urias in game four and full-rest Kershaw tonight.
ChatzMcGee
8:20
Should the Dodgers have put Alex Wood on the playoff roster, or did Urias make him redundant?
Dave Cameron
8:20
Bullpen already a little heavy on lefties.
Bork
8:20
That curveball is more dreamy than Chase Utley
JC
8:21
Old man reflexes
Cale
8:21
It's a good thing you don't need your wrist to pitch
Jeremy
8:22
And this is the 'luck' part that people discount as part of a short-series playoffs
Drake
8:22
Was Justin Turner always this big?
Sean Dolinar
8:23
That slow-mo curve grip.
Craig Edwards
8:23
No, although few people stay the same size in their 30s compared to their mid-20s. The beard also helps/hurts in that regard.
Ben
8:23
what is Marlins Man's budget like?
Dave Cameron
8:23
At this point, he has to be sponsored or something, right?
Eric Y
8:24
I miss 2015 Bryce Harper :(
Warren
8:24
So Bryce Harper's zombie is only gonna be here until next season right?
Dave Cameron
8:24
He has to be hurt.
Craig Edwards
8:24
maybe he writes it off as an advertising expense
Ben
8:24
sponsored by the Marlins?
Dave Cameron
8:25
It's way cheaper than buying ad space on the behind the plate boards, right?
Sean Dolinar
8:25
Marlins Man works from his hotel room during the day, right?
Ned Yost
8:25
What does Justin Turner's free agent stock look like?
Craig Edwards
8:25
hearty
Bork
8:25
Marlins Man apparently worked in corporate law and had one major win then retired.
ChatzMcGee
8:26
These "scouting reports" have been terrible.
5 Run Homer
8:26
That curveball makes my pants feel tight
Craig Edwards
8:26
When we talk about Marlins Man, he wins.
Bork
8:27
We should give Marlins Man the Voldemort treatment.
Lord above
8:28
As a nationals fan, I hope espinosa just bunts for a hit every time, feel like it'd work at least once.
Craig Edwards
8:28
or have him swing for the fences 12 times and see what happens, which isn't far off from his general strategy.
Nodog
8:29
Marlins Man would be a Marlins fan, though, amirite? He's like the franchise personified -- desperate for attention but ultimately disappointing, self-interested, and annoying.
5 Run Homer
8:30
Why do you all hate Marlins Man? If I could I would be Marlins Man
Dave Cameron
8:30
Warning track power.

What's the difference between the gray and green lines on the win expectancy charts?
Sean Dolinar
8:31
Green is talent agnostic, gray has projections built in.
Aaron (UK)
8:31
he only swings for the fences if it's a ball. if it's a strike he leans in
Sean Dolinar
8:31
So green begins at 50% WE...gray will adjust for our Game Odds. This gets discounted as the game goes on.
