Now I've got Mr. November stuck in my head. How was the show? They're coming here in December but tickets start at $70.00

Travis Sawchik

8:54

Great show. They were at Stage AE in Pittsburgh which is a good place to see a band

Matt

Travis - did you happen to see my attempt to refute your Judge/cutch article in the community forum and....fail?

Travis Sawchik

8:55

Send me the link please

Travis who do you think wins tonight in Dodgers-Snakes game?

Travis Sawchik

8:56

I predicted Dodgers in three ... so I'm going to stick with it. Greinke has not had a hot hand

What a filthy Salazar split-change

8:57

We love your launch angle, Greg Bird, but that was too much

8:59

Programming update:

9:00

There will be no one chatting the 10 p.m. game, I'm sorry to say

If I didn't have an early-rising 2-year-old, I would have considered sticking around after NYY-CLE

Matt

How long until A-Rod is in the booth?

Travis Sawchik

9:01

A-Rod is a pretty good analyst, I think. He knows the game so well

Shaun

9:01

Home teams are 12-2 so far in the playoffs, which seems a little more one sided than you might expect

Travis Sawchik

9:01

Umpire bias, baby

9:02

One side effect of robot umps? I think it would really reduce home-field advantage, since home-field adv is really tied to borderline ball-strike calls (not so much the ballpark)

Factory of Sadness

9:05

If Salazar is dealing, does he have any pitch count tonight? 110? 120?

Travis Sawchik

9:05

I don't think they'd let him go that long ...but he's dealing

Michelle

9:05

That's a very sad update.

Boo

Travis Sawchik

9:06

My apologies! You could get on Twitter and beg Eno to make an appearance

Section329

9:07

Been great hanging out with Fangraphs crew through 3 games, though

Travis Sawchik

9:07

Don't be sad it's going to end be glad it's happening

Mike

9:07

I nominate myself to chat the 10pm game, I promise all kinds of silly Effectively Wild-esque shit.

I will work for free.

Matt

9:07

Travis, I told Dave I'd cover the 10 pm. Just toss me the keys.

Travis Sawchik

9:07

I will break a pool stick in half and leave you fellas alone to work it out

9:08

Only one can emerge

Bobert

9:09

How about a baseball bat.

Travis Sawchik

9:10

I don't think I could break it over my knee as easily

In fact I know I couldn't

Yanks have been good at grinding at-bats. Seems like every Cleveland pitcher has thrown more than 20 pitches an inning.

Travis Sawchik

9:10

Agreed. Yankees have had good discipline and discernment

FogginSF

9:10

Cleveland has a deeeeep staff

Travis Sawchik

9:10

Best ever per fWAR

9:11

And first team to strike out 10 per nine for a season

Perez!

This is starting to feel like a ballgame again
