Huh, shorter first base would be pretty interesting.
Ben Clemens

Dan why not just bases that are two feet longer?

It would look silly!

Just huge ridiculous pillows out there
Joe

Quick and dirty math taking the averages of the players in the playoffs and assuming nothing about the pitchers the no hitter is at about 35%

can't make a reference to baseball pillows without this classic
Ben Clemens

That sounds.... high
They'd need to be below .200 hitters on average
11:00
(1-.200)^6 is only 26%
Joe
11:00
There are a lot of 0.0 hitters in the series
Ben Clemens
11:00
Oh c'mon then
You have to use some kind of reasonable expectation of how likely they are to get a hit

I like when Buck inserts a reference to something like Google Cloud and then an event happens midsentence and he switches mid sentence back to the thing and never gets back to the thing he's plugging.

I ballparked .270 for the Astros, but like, .250 or something?

And Smoltz doesn't follow up because Smoltz wasn't listening and doesn't care about any of that
Ben Clemens
11:02
Again, Buck is very smooth

And hey, Brennaman did a smooth transition between talking about the end of his career to announcing a homer!

BA of upcoming guys (basically the flat prior): 0.125, 0.0, 0.167, 0.417, 0.0, 0.143
Ben Clemens
11:02
The flat prior should be their regular season averages at the very least
but yes Dan
11:03
very good point

We live chatting for the Masked Singer after this right?
Ben Clemens
11:03
Thom Brennaman was so smooth he became a meme
This is gonna be an abrupt change but I really don't get that Alter Ego show
Masked Singer, I don't love it, but I'll watch it
Er, well, that's probably unfair
I've watched two episodes in my life
Boy
Hallion's zone is just expanding and expanding

Whoever said he was ump show-ing this game, I totally agree

End of his career?  Nonsense!  Thom Brennaman was back behind the mic earlier this year, calling high school events for Chatterbox Sports

@Dan... Imagine if broadcasters were to integrate ads into their play by play... "Slick pick up by Correa... just like Bounty... the Quicker Picker Upper".
Luke Hooper

They kind of do have to do that. Baseball radio has so many random sponsors for everything the announcer has to say.
Tony Snell

Wow that one's pretty good @Dan
