Cocopuffs

10:33

Mike Myers is of course the Michael Myers of baseball

Kevin Goldstein

10:33

Missed opportunity by us, nice save from Cocopuffs.

JT the nervous Giants Fan

10:33

How many innings will Urias go?

Dan Szymborski

10:33

10:34

Unless a pinch-hitting opportunity is too hard

That was a beautiful K pitch by Webb

Kevin Goldstein

10:34

I gotta say, on that Lux K. My favorite non-contact play is the batter bail out called strike three.

Dan Szymborski

10:34

He had NO idea what that pitch was doing

Dalton Wilcox

10:35

Who is Bellinger playing for in 2022?

Dan Szymborski

10:35

Dodgers

10:36

Is there a correlation between sinker usage and injury?

Kevin Goldstein

10:36

Not really. They only real correlation between pitching and injuries is that pitchers get injured.

Giant Fairweather Fan

10:36

Dude in my dynasty league didn't give up on Bellinger, I doubt LA will.

In bounds?

10:36

Can we start talking about where each pitcher is putting whatever they're mixing with the mound resin? Because Webb's is by his right pocket.

Jnc

10:36

Too early to get a Zips forecast on Bellinger’s 2022, Dan?

Kevin Goldstein

10:36

Is that the 36th 1-3 in this game for Webb?

Dan Szymborski

10:36

Probably but I can still run it! lol

wow that looks awful

Guest

10:38

Webb has extremely low spin rates spider tack isn’t helping him

Dan Szymborski

10:38

MFG1975

10:38

Kevin, which player that you've met would make the best game show host?

Kevin Goldstein

10:38

Joe Biagini?

Vin Scully

10:39

Who has a better season next year Kyle Tucker or Luis Robert?

Dan Szymborski

10:39

Luis Robert has such a high ceiling

Guest

10:40

Luis Robert is my spirit animal.

Farhandrew Zaidman

10:40

Call me pessimistic, but I'm taking the under on that 50th percentile.

Two Dads Playing Catch

10:41

man, good pitching is a hell of a drug

Rob Manfred

10:42

a 112 wRC+ next year would be a nice upgrade in the 8 hole for the Dodgers

Ace

10:42

I take back by 5 run prediction to win. I now think this is a race to 2, but the Giants bullpen may affect that outcome

Doug

10:42

Do we think Gausman stays in SF?

Dan Szymborski

10:42

I think there's a real chance that he does

cjm

10:43

Apologies if you've already talked about this recently - but what do you make of Rob Arthur's article finding that spin rates have been climbing steadily since the sticky stuff ban took effect. Guys adjusting their mechanics / grips to not having anything to use, or potentially some more stealthy methods sneaking back into the mix?

B’Ryce Hammer

10:43

Can’t decide who I’m rooting for tonight. Just want one of these two teams to crush the A.L. Champs

Gavin

10:43

Has anyone mentioned the travesty that was the City Pride jersey? Biggest perk of reaching the post season is knowing we don’t have to see those monstrosities ever again

Pitcher stuff

10:45

Urias keeps touching the same spot as Webb, below arm side back pocket. It's not a big deal but also not subtle.

Kevin Goldstein

10:45

He does it after he goes to his mouth, which is required by the rules.

Wire Fan

10:46

I hope this game ends soon... Young Sheldon is coming on. How the heck does that make it 5 seasons?

Dan Szymborski

10:46

I still don't know who was watching Big Bang Theory

Kevin Z.

10:46

catching up on chat where projection percentiles were discussed earlier. How extreme was Red Sox in 2013? I predicted they would win the east that year and my buddy thought I was crazy.
