Quarantino Martinez

9:39

Is that why they decided to score fewer times last inning?

Dan Szymborski

9:39

There's an offseason project

Ben Clemens

9:39

No no no, you have to get to an even lead first

Dan Szymborski

9:39

Match every game of the postseason with a WWII battle

9:39

I'm slow today - your photoshop reminded me how much I HATED what Roberts and Co. has done over the years

Dan Szymborski

9:40

Luke Hooper

I tend to assume that at this point in the year if someone is really struggling, there's probably an injury there.

9:40

kursk would be a fun one

Hugh Duffy

9:40

Is Bregman injured? 🤷‍♂️ May not be 100%, don't know if that's injured.

Floyd

9:40

houston seems to be taking all the way first pitch but lotta bad swings late in counts.

Ben Clemens

9:40

Really good take

I totally agree with this

9:41

Do you guys actually think that Brian Snitker is managing like there's no tomorrow?

There... there is going to be a tomorrow, I hope

egm

9:41

2017 WS game 5 Dan! Which battle? Maybe some aerial/naval battle in the pacific?

Dan Szymborski

9:41

Hey, I can't think of all these now!

Luke Hooper

9:41

Sure looks like the rain is heating back up

Finnegan's SSW

9:42

If there's no tomorrow I'd hope he wouldn't be managing at all

Dan Szymborski

9:42

You need to match the flow of a battle with win expectancy graphs

always confused

9:42

I will always appreciate the internet creating beautiful acronyms such as NOBLETIGER, TOOTBLAN, and FARTSLAM among others

Ben Clemens

9:42

So uh, Smoltz is saying he didn't throw strikes in 3-1 counts in the postseason?

I don't think that tracks....

I guess it's easy to feel that way, though

Dan Szymborski

9:42

Doesn't mean Eric Gregg didn't call them strikes!

Ben Clemens

9:43

One of the hardest people to evaluate is always yourself

Morbo

9:44

Not me. I'm easy to evaluate. I'm a gurmpy news monster who is very good a yelling

9:44

Wow Eric Gregg reference - THAT strike zone sure did leave an impression on many people

Dan Szymborski

9:44

Glavine was probably the larger beneficiary

Ben Clemens

9:44

Oh, this is Morbo of the "the Annihilator" Morbos?

Welcome!

Luke Hooper

9:44

Ahh I hadn't even thought about a Greinke pinch hit at-bat. That's what I'm rooting for.

Ben Clemens

9:45

oooh

he still does need that tenth steal

always confused

9:45

re Weather: the rain ain't gonna get heavy but it's been cloudy and drizzly all day and i don't think that will change

Mateo

9:45

"That put a smile on Zack Greinke's face!"
[cut to Greinke doing the absolute opposite of smiling as usual]

desertfox9139

9:46

wow, yordan can run

Ben Clemens

9:46

He's roughly average when he's going

haha now the zone is HUGE

Luke Hooper

9:46

That pitch is going to be on the ump scorecard twitter page tomorrow.

Ben Clemens

9:46

I mean, that was just atrocious

Connecting…
