Better nickname: DJ Kool Urq (for DJ Kool Herc) or Urqules (like Hercules)?
Ben Clemens
10:17
Urqules for me
Jeremy
10:18
Urqules is an 80 grade nickname

Imagine how much quicker they could have gotten to the Philies bullpen. (checks box score) Oh... nevermind
Kevin

Can't believe that Marsh is only 24 with that beard

Don't know why the other AL teams haven't tried just hitting a bunch of home runs off the Astros. Seems like a good strategy.
Kyle Kishimoto
10:21
it's astonishing taht the other teams haven't tried the simple strategy of winning

Having a debate with a friend. In the postseason, I'm keeping bullpen arms warm early, and I'm yanking Lance at 4-0. Unless you want to punt on the game and save the bullpen. But they've had two days off plus Friday. Thoughts?
Ben Clemens
10:21
I would have yanked him very early
Davy Andrews
10:22
Yeah. What's the point of this amazing bullpen?
Ben Clemens
10:23
Just letting Stanek show off the flow out there
Ben Clemens
10:21
The Astros seem to think McCullers is better than I do
Kyle Kishimoto
10:22
agree with ben - the secondaries were getting hammered and they have 9 guys on 2+ days of rest

It's a good thing you guys are still here or I would be asleep by now.
Ben Clemens
10:22
It's a good thing the chat is here or I would be too!

The Phillies actually a man warming up before the Astros finally got Stanek up. Amazing!

I somehow missed the glory of this chat till the 7th inning... What a game my dudes
Davy Andrews
10:24
Never too late!

As a Twins fan I'm glad Gibson is getting a chance to pitch in the World Series
Davy Andrews
10:24
I'm psyched to see if he keeps his playoff velo up.

It’s been 20 f-ing years and Dusty still doesn’t know when to go get his starter.
Kyle Kishimoto
10:24
surprised that he didn't hand lance the game ball when taking him out
Ben Clemens
10:24
He was pretty good at it in last year's playoffs
I think he has a specific hole in his decision making with McCullers
Morlock Jimenez
10:25
I would argue zero is a crooked number.
Ben Clemens
10:25
0 is about as crooked as 8
Lzfreak
10:25
I mean... McCullers is a really good pitcher. Sure there were better options but the decision to keep him in could have worked
Ben Clemens
10:25
oh yeah.... like, that didn't swing the game
10:26
managers make 'bad' or 'good' decisions all the time and have them work or not work, as the case may be
It also probably wouldn't matter?
It just did feel like he didn't have it tonight, right from the start, and he kept not having it
hard to give up FIVE homers in a game
Kwah

His name is Dusty Baker.  If you've seen The Great British Baking Show, you know that means he doesn't know how long to let things "prove" before being removed.
Davy Andrews
10:27
Some of us take pride in our proofing.
Ben Clemens
10:28
Do you have a proving drawer? Have you ever known anyone who does?
Davy Andrews
10:27
It also matters less if you don't score any runs.
RTJ
10:27
But also arguing over the pitching decisions doesn't add much if you score 0 runs
Ben Clemens
10:27
Yup
