Chew on all that.

Carson Cistulli

2:04

Hey, Paul. Can you please inform me/the entire world who's available out there in the bullpen.

Paul Swydan

2:04

I think everyone but Price is technically available.

Matt

2:05

Porcello may not be pitching the best, but he's limiting damage right now. Lead off triple, then bases loaded, only one run. Could have been so much worse

Carson Cistulli

2:05

I would submit that he *has* limited the damage; however, he's pitched like someone who won't do that much longer.

Paul Swydan

2:06

True, but he made it through the heart of the order, so he may be fine for next inning.

I would expect Musgrove to be first out for Houston, too, for the record.

ctw

2:07

is it possible to disable the emojis? or do the current moderators enjoy them?

Paul Swydan

2:07

Eh, I kind of like them.

Bill

2:07

Is there validity in the idea on "limiting the damage?" Is stranding runners a skill?

Jim Melichar

2:07

When did they re-lax up on the body armor? I remember right after the Bonds era you essentially needed a note from your doctor to wear it.

Paul Swydan

2:08

Yeah, I don't know, that is the kind of thing that seems to make headlines as per MLB "taking action" but is never really enforced.

Kind of like how hitters are supposed to stay in the box now.

Carson Cistulli

2:08

Stranding runners is correlated pretty strongly with pitching well. Striking dudes out, etc.

Although, in terms of projecting it, I think it regresses somewhat heavily to ca 70%.

stever20

2:08

how much do these incredibly long innings hurt Morton?

Carson Cistulli

2:09

Devers with a single that was a ground ball to second base in a number of other realitiez.

Paul Swydan

2:09

I think he knows he's not out there for 6 innings, so probably less than normal.

Carson Cistulli

2:09

*realities.

Although: "realitiez" fine, too.

Jim Melichar

2:09

I personally liked "realitiez"

Paul Swydan

2:09

Haha

bosoxforlife

2:09

Remember when Hanley could run? He looks like Pujols out there.

Hunter

2:10

Who is available for the stros? Devenski and Giles 1-2 a piece and then pray?

Paul Swydan

2:10

Would expect to see Musgrove and Devenski before Harris and Giles.

Musgrove has been pretty good as a RP.

Carson Cistulli

2:10

I'd be curious to see Hanley's home-to-first times. His loss of speed seemed to occur almost overnight.

Sitting in Class

2:11

Does Morton make it through the second?

Paul Swydan

2:11

He showed up to Boston like 20 lbs. heavier, I feel like.

Macho Man Sandy Ravage

2:11

They had Joe Kelly up, perfect guy to put your season on when he just pitched yesterday and you have at least 3 better pitchers available

Carson Cistulli

2:11

The probability of Morton remaining in the game is trending downward.

Paul Swydan

2:11

Joe Kelly has great stuff.

Warren

2:11

Can you tell how many people are following the chat?

Paul Swydan

2:11

There's a little counter at the top of our chat window.

Jeff Zimmerman ran over my cat

2:11

What will be the order of the Astros' relievers?

Paul Swydan

2:12

Broadcasters keep saying Musgrove first, but who knows.

tommy!

2:12

what is the problem with the body armor? who wants to get hurt like stanton did?

Paul Swydan

2:12

Eh, nothing really, I just find it amusing.

It's there for <1% of the possible outcomes.

Carson Cistulli

2:13

Second-highest leverage of the game here, looks like.
