One of the best this postseason
And he twirled too

The twirl was cool

What does this mean for Verlander?  He gets to pitch as long as he wants unless he gets in trouble, right?
AvatarAlex Sonty
9:20
I hope so

the strike zone graphic opacity is so low as to be barely perceptible - I like it, tbh
AvatarDavid Laurila

Re Kyle Tucker's back-to-back 30-home-run seasons: He's never struck out 100 times in a single season.

That was Yuli’s 32nd consecutive postseason AB without a walk or K. Record!

Both the strike zone graphic and the called strike zone have been on point.

Of note: The best-of-seven (which might end up going eight) Japan Series between the Orix Buffaloes and Yakult Swallows is tied at two games apiece, with one 12-inning tie.

There are ties?  And they can result in an extra game?!  Awesome!

Also, the KBO championship series will be starting in a few days.

I loved KBO in 2020. A lot of DFS players speak ill of the grind, but I had a blast.

Yakut Swallows makes me laugh every time. That and Nippon Ham Fighters.
Justin Choi
9:28
I know it's 'Nippon-Ham', but seeing Ham and Fighters together makes me picture a frightened butcher trying to fight off a piece of sentient, murderous ham

@NPB_Reddit is a good way to follow NPB. Links to English language articles and box scores are plentiful.

Going to email Chomsky and ask whether the Astros using asymmetrical warfare to defeat the Yankees or Philly using “red October” as a theme is more socialist.

Whoa Phillies!

The Phillies scoring runs is... not exactly a surprise.

Bohm with a laser
Such an excellent hit
Pulled on a line to the corner.

Consecutive 97 mph heaters from JV, nice

Do Phillies pickup Jean's segura's option for 23 or move Stott to second and go after a free agent SS?
Justin Choi
9:31
I'd pursue a SS if I were them

He has a Phanatic bandana!!

Bryce sure likes neon green

back sorry
AvatarAlex Sonty

Either Verlander is really focusing on his breathing to center himself or he's huffing and puffing

When do we get Luis Garcia's eyesore of a windup?
AvatarDavid Laurila

Coming into tonight, Justin Verlander had allowed 27 runs in 79 ALDS innings, 27 runs in 80-and-two-thirds ALCS innings, and 27 runs in 38 World Series innings.
AvatarAlex Sonty
9:38
He's tired. Breathing very hard

Studly AB by Stott!
Devil Ray Jay Johnson

Verlander’s face is starting to look the same as a grocery store manager’s when told they ran out of shopping bags

I like the Luis Garcia windup!

It's pretty funny. It's like someone randomly said throw this baseball to a stranger and that was the product
