phrase I just picked up from the ESPN broadcast of Cubs/Brewers (Perez?): alto queso. I like it.

do you switch to the no hitter pants in the middle of a no hitter or do you put them on and there is instantly a no hitter?
Craig Edwards

Payroll was steady/down this year and I highly doubt revenues were.
Meg Rowley

What a weirdly specific superpower that would be.

Didn't the 2011 cardinals win the WS after playing in a tiebreaker, or did they just clinch on the last day of the season?
Craig Edwards

Game 162 was the crazy one in 2011.

Is there any consideration to make the win expectancy graphs consider quality of players?
Sean Dolinar

The gray line reflects the talent / home field advantage vs. the green line which is neutral.
Craig Edwards
2:20
and that's why it is good for Chacin that he went 123 last inning.

how does Hader's struggles last few outings impact his usage today?  Just a much faster hook than he normally would have?
AvatarJay Jaffe
2:21
I think there's very little chance he goes more than, say, 4 outs. he hasn't worked 2 innings since Sept 10 and has yielded a .783 SLG since then despite the rest, which has included not being pitched on back-to-back days all month. I imagine he's not anywhere close to mint condition these days.

I've always wondered the Gray/Green line. Great info - might be a useful legend item.
Sean Dolinar
2:22
We might refresh the WE graphs design before next year.  But the grey line/green line will be addressed when that happens.

Though we are focusing on prospects upgrades at least in the near future.

That was my bad for bringing up the no hitter. Sorry everybody.
Craig Edwards
2:22
Blame Ryan, everybody.

Do you guys have "no hitter pants" instead of perfect game pants because a perfect day, by definition would not involve pants?

Would the tiebreaks today and tomorrow be any different in the 1 WC era?
Meg Rowley
2:23
Summer fades, Matt. Then you're happy to have pants.
Craig Edwards

The Rockies/Dodgers loser would just be out. I also think Brewers/Cubs wouldn't play because they would both be in division series already.

Any thoughts on renaming Home Runs hit in the top of the inning "Away Runs"?
Craig Edwards
2:24
No.

Next big decision for Maddon is going to be letting Quintana hit, either in this inning or the next one.
2:26
Haha. Ump got pretty excited for strike 2 there.
Meg Rowley
2:26
The crowd, it appears to be agitated.
Dave

2 strikes for a strikeout now?
Meg Rowley

What, you think pace of play just takes care of itself?

Granted. We can use the extra income.

I don't know if it is a problem at my end, but the MLB TV sound is dreadful. Can't hear announcers, and if the crowd gets semi-loud, it is all distorted
Technically

I think in the old one-WC system, the WC would just have been decided by the in-season record between the two teams and there would have been no tiebreaker. No?
Sean Dolinar
2:28
Correct.  Intra-round seeding is done with tiebreakers.
Meg Rowley
2:28
They do seem to have the crowd noise dialed up to 11.

the mound visit rules seemed to go ok in the regular season....  how do you think it'll go in the playoffs?
Meg Rowley

I'm less likely to want to light McCann on fire now, so that is good.

What chnges has Chacin made?  He was not so good until last year.  What changed?
Craig Edwards
2:30
He's gone more with the slider this year and been a bit more of a fly ball pitcher, but overall, he hasn't changed too much in terms of effectiveness since the beginning of 2016.
