Yes to both I think
Phil

The real question is who hit McCullers with the champagne bottle. Will we ever know?
Davy Andrews
9:53
I wrote most of a very ridiculous article examining the suspects.

If Urquidy is the man to go the rest of the way to save the  bullpen then why is he on the roster?
Kyle Kishimoto
9:53
i've always wanted to write a piece about like "why do these teams roster so many pitchers for a 7 game series with numerous off days", but every time i've tried it's just come off as too complainy or not long enough. i feel like there are so many ways teams could use their available roster spots for positional role players and they just don't
CJ

Phily can possibly go for double this year (WS, SB)!
Ben Clemens
9:54
Wow, what about the Sixers?
(and maybe the Flyers, I don't really follow hockey)
Marsh’s Beard
9:55
Not the flyers
Ben Clemens
9:55
Okay, not the Flyers
Matt
9:55
The Sixers are...well they can get the double
Ben Clemens
9:56
I mean, the Sixers aren't favorites, but I trust the process
Jared
9:56
you mean the Phillies don’t need Nick Nelson annnd Kyle Gibson?
Ben Clemens
9:56
by which I mean Joel Embiid, not Hinkie
Larry
9:56
There is the Union

A third catcher releasing the backup for pinch -hitting has to better than a 5th starter. Christian Vasquez is actually a decent hitter.
Kyle Kishimoto
9:58
yeah exactly - or a terrance gore or a defensive sub or literally any othe type of player that would actually get used unlike the 3 relievers who haven't appeared in any games so far
Jeremy
9:58
Bunt? I know you need baserunning and Bohm is playing deep and bad at fielding. But come on.
Ben Clemens
9:58
Pena shows bunt entirely too often. If I had infinite money I'd pay a stringer to document it for me
Ben Clemens
9:58
If I had infinite time I'd do it. I guess I'll do neither sadly
9:59
Haha John Smoltz saying Bryson Stott is a gold glove shortstop, man.... I think he's pretty decent out there
above average, for sure, to my eyes

If your Houston do you go JV tomorrow - to leave open the possibility he goes again on short rest in G7 - or do you stick with Javier, Verlander, Framber and bullpen G7 with Garcia and Brown giving you bulk?
Ben Clemens
10:00
Great question
Who should start tomorrow for Houston?
Verlander (19.7% | 14 votes)
 
Javier (80.3% | 57 votes)
 
Total Votes: 71
Davy Andrews
10:00
(I voted Javier.)

Michael Baumann wrote a little bit about this yesterday: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/how-will-world-series-game-3-rainout-and-e...
Ben Clemens
10:01
I'd go with Javier, I think one of the great edges the Astros have is that they just don't need to goof around with stuff like that
April Stowers
10:01
Verlander is 39! Give him a break.
RTJ
10:01
seven run lead and 3+ innings to kill - let's get weird - Peanuts or Crackerjacks?
Ben Clemens
10:01
Peanuts or crackerjacks
Peanuts (60.3% | 38 votes)
 
Crackerjacks (39.7% | 25 votes)
 
Total Votes: 63
10:02
I could barely tell you what crackerjacks taste like
I mainly know them from Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Kyle Kishimoto
10:02
as someone who buys cracker jacks from the store and brings them to games quite frequently i think you can guess what i voted for
Phil
10:02
You guys can vote? Seems like you should be exempt, like supermarket employees in a sweepstakes.
April Stowers
10:02
This poll is really Peanuts vs. Tooth Decay
Larry
10:02
crackerjacks should win by a landslide out of sheer novelty
Davy Andrews
10:02
I'm a man of the people.
Ben Clemens
10:03
crackerjacks put up a pretty good showing, I'm surprised
Joe

One of my fondest memories as a kid is eating Orioles branded peanuts while watching the first opening day at Camden Yards on tv
