Verlander's thrown 14 curveballs and 11 sliders and doesn't have a single whiff on either pitch. Man, Philly can hit.

Playing Trails from Zero on your handheld in there, Dan?

I haven't yet as I'm still finishing up a Hajimari run and playing a fan translation of Kuro

Does this WS trip get Dombrowski into the HoF?
AvatarAlex Sonty
9:44
Probably should
AvatarDan Szymborski

I'd be surprised honestly
there are only four GMs in the Hall, IIRC
and the most recent is Rickey

Is JV tipping his breaking balls or are the Philly hitters just that good?
Justin Choi

Phillies struggled with the heater first time through, so they might have shifted their focus to the breakers

Wow, almost an Eric Gregg level call there

Neither Gillick or Paul Richards are in
Wire Fan

Gillick not being in is ridiculous

It's just hard because they're all in this innovator executive whatever category

That's a shockingly high bar for HOF GMs.

The worst part of playoff baseball is political commercials

"This WS trip" is the stretch. But he's only 66.

I'm getting very little political ads in Chicago. Very little to elect.
More ads by advocacy firms on single issues.

Spiritual connection between Marsh and bearded Philly fan

Is Marsh growing a playoff beard or is that regular length for him?
Justin Choi

I believe it's regular?

Marsh's beard:  more Gandalf or more ZZ Top?

Random fact: Brandon Marsh is one of only three players with that surname in big-league history. Tom Marsh played for the Phillies in the 1960s. Fred Marsh played for a handful of teams in the 1950s.

Ump is a little too loud for my taste. love the crowd noise though

If a pitch gets stuck in Marsh's beard, is that a HBP?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:55
It's a HBP if it touches the clothing and the a HBP if it touches the person so I don't know how hair wouldn't count

Should Verlander still be in?
AvatarAlex Sonty
9:55
Normally I say yes, but the way he's breathing, no.
Wireless Joe Jackson

I think it depends on if the beard's in the strike zone?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:55
Standing with your beard in the strike zone is dangerous!
Unless you've got a very long or weirdly shaped beard

The chances of Verlander making it out of this inning aren't great.
