Ballplayers have to be irrational--otherwise they'd be scared of the ball like a normal human being. So of course they think they can come back from any deficit.

We ALL do thing that are less than logically superior

if there's such a thing as a great place to come back from a 6-run deficit, it's Fenway Park
Guess

How many 6-run leads have been blown in post-season history?
AvatarDan Szymborski

That I'm not sure about honestly
I don't have a db directly on point for that

FO people should be all for it.  Fewer innings = lower counting stats = lower arb salaries.

which is why the union won't allow it

If a team starts forfeiting games when they're down by seven, the front office is killed and stuffed by the next day

Re: arb salaries: will the current arb system survive the CBA negotiations?

There will EVENTUALLY be a deal and it'll likely be incremental in nature

Dan, we need to know about your personal food safety.  Illogical because your kitchen is obsessively clean, or illogical because you laugh at salmonella?

Don't ask how long I will eat things left out or how long they're fine in the fridge
Anything I make with raw beef has me eating a lot of raw beef

Any chance there is a single game in the ALCS that has more total runs than the entire NLCS?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:11
SOME chance, but it's a long one

Thank goodness Vazquez backed that up.

Kiké putting his whole body into those throws is entertaining

I don't think he even saw vazquez

Sounds legit.  Remember, your genes come from the people who *survived* the plague, smallpox, and dysentery.  You'll be fine.

I can't believe Smoltz just said "Siri just gave his teammate some horrible information". I feel like Jose Siri should be allowed to use his bat to pummel anyone who makes a "Siri" joke about him.

very rude to call anything outside the zone a strike when Maldy is up. Be sporting, blue!

If it gets really into a blow out territory could we see Verdugo (or another position player) throw an inning or two ?
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:15
you will never see a team with a big lead throw a position player in to pitch in the postseason unless it's well in to extra innings. that's right up there with stealing bases when you're up 17-0 or something.

ERod’s velo down this inning?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:15
Yeah, he was mostly 91/92, but not surprising to see him take a little off
9:16
Eovaldi frequently gets away from splitters when his team has a cushion
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:17
down a little there but in context, not surprising
