My wife half-understands baseball, but totally understands a pitcher just Ks a dude when the strut starts.

This is one of those game that feels like a bigger deficit than it actually is. The Astros are a few big swings away from making it interesting, if not coming from behind to win.

I'm sorry, Alex and David, my presence has started to turn this into weird chat.

If you really want weird, I did a live chat with Bowden in 2012 for ESPN for the ASG and I didn't turn down my normal oddness one bit.

Dan, I made a stew on Sunday. Was it chili, and if not, where did I go wrong: beef, dried Chiles, chicken stock, onions, oregano, cinnamon, allspice

With Rays' general pitching strategy, the proliferation of "openers," the injuries to Morton and Kershaw, the dead arm of Scherzer, and so on, this might be the worst post-season for starters of all time.  Will we ever see a performance like Bumgarner in 2014 or Schilling/Johnson in 2001 again?

I'm in an empty movie theater reading a newspaper on this one, but I hope so.

Losing Morton is tough, but not to worry--I can pick up all his innings.

Now I want some research on which WS teams in history had the worst starting pitching staffs.

Charlie Morton staying in to get three outs, two on strikeouts, with a broken leg - more or less impressive than the bloody sock?

I'm a fan of the three-man rotation for the World Series, stretching SPs to 80-100 pitches, depending on gameflow. But this is purely aesthetic and not related to optimal baseball strategery.

Cinci had a bad rotation, right?

Did they?
Gray was great, Castillo was unlucky.

Yeah whatever happened to the Rangers “develop guys who can go 7” theory? Never seemed to catch on.

About a month ago, Kyle Boddy said in a FanGraphs Audio episode that the Reds were working to get starters deeper into game in the minors.
