Maldonado runs slowly even for a catcher

The ball bounced away pretty far which is a good sign for JT, means not much of its force was transferred to the mask/his face

WE says 56 percent Astros, but where would you put it taking into account actual bullpens?
jae
10:44
I would put Astros at maybe 65%. purely from bullpens I would say like 70% but Phillies have the comeback momentum

How much prep does Smoltz realistically do to say things like "when his front side doesn't fly open he's nasty"?
Justin Choi
10:45
Not that much is my bet

Random Schwarber stat: He has two postseason doubles and 12 postseason home runs.

I think one of the most important skills in a broadcaster is to be able to be confidently wrong

If I was in the booth, I'd be worried about making the slightest of errors in whatever I say

I honestly don't do live YouTube shows for this reason and this reason only.

Juneau, represent. (not Wisconsin).
Seems like this should be Abreu's last batter.

Who had Schwarber getting us the taco?

Schwarber is 5 for 5 in stolen base attempts in postseason play.

Schwarber was 10/11 in SB tries this season; he and Realmuto have some sneaky speed
AvatarAlex Sonty
10:52
Abreu staying in is interesting but not bad,
Is Realmuto's speed sneaky?

10 out of 22 of Kyle Schwarber's career stolen bases have been in 2022.

Any catcher's speed is sneaky.

I can't believe Abreu's facing Harper here after 28 pitches.  WHY?
CJ
10:55
Abreu was wondering the same thing.
Michael Scott
10:55
Hmmm.. why is Will Smith on the roster if not to face Harper?
AvatarDavid Laurila
10:55
Counting the postseason, Kyle Schwarber is 13 for 14 in stolen base attempts this year.

So, do they announce Jerry Lee Lewis died during Castellanos' at bat with bases loaded?
Because THAT's how you get a big homer
jae
10:58
is that only viewable by mods Justin?
Justin Choi
10:58
Yep
