Zobrist might be safe but *I* certainly feel picked off.

If the Cubs get eliminated here, the Dodgers have by far the highest chance of a WS title, right?  I would sure like them to be eliminated as well.
Carson Cistulli
8:34
Yes, but only because the AL clubs are so competitive. The AL team will likely be the favored one.
I think.
Without looking at the numbers.
Nevermind, I'm probably wrong.

Why did anyone ever think Desmond should play first base? Wasn't he an average hitter at best for a shortstop?
Sadman
8:35
maybe from the nl
igor

Astros hello?
Craig Edwards
8:35
He was good in 2012-2013. Would've been a slightly above average 1st baseman, then.
Mike

Dodgers are heavy underdogs to Astros, light to red Sox, slightly favored vs NY and cle, favored vs oak I believe
Carson Cistulli
8:35
Thanks, Mike, for actually looking it up.
Mike

I look every day because it makes me happy
Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

There is something perverse about the nerd broadcast showing me a ticker with the AL leaders in RBIs.
Carson Cistulli

It's actually a psych experiment constructed by Stanley Milgram.

Welp, that looked like a very 2016 Baez at bat there....

Javy's never going to be Captain Science.
Carson Cistulli
8:38
I think a lot of the 2018 at-bats have looked like the 2016 ones... right up to the part where Baez hits an opposite-field homer.
Craig Edwards
8:38
Did Freeland just throw an 88 mph change?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:38
He's not going to be Javy Votto.,
Carson Cistulli
8:39
Yeah, Craig, I don't know. Ball just went straight into the ground.

Random stat of the night:  Yoán Moncada had 217 Ks in 650 PA this season.  Nellie Fox had 216 Ks in 10,351 PA over NINETEEN seasons--his entire career!

There's no way Cubs fans actually enjoy watching Baez hit, right?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:39
And now he's dead.
Craig Edwards
8:39
74% of the time, he does not strike out, and yes, they definitely enjoy it.
Sadman

javy votto hah good one dan
AvatarDan Szymborski

Javy Votto would be an  unbelievably great player.
And various Brennamans would still complain about the lack of RBIs

What was the game time temperature does anyone know?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Mid 60s?
Stephen

The Nerd Broadcast posted Charlie Blackmon having .8 bWAR, but FG has him at 2.8? I know you guys use difference defensive metrics, but is that one of the big splits out there between the two, what is the largest you guys have ever seen between the two calculations?
Sadman

oh shit!
5 Run Homer

Albert Almora good
Walking Stephen Piscotty
8:41
I thought that was gone
Craig Edwards

Gameday called it a slider
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:41
It's certainly among the larger ones. One of the nice things about projections is that the defense gets smoothed out a bit!
If this were a SyFy movie, then the ivy would have eaten Almora.
Omega Red

Dahls to the wall

61 per the Boxscore on MLB.com Skyline

I know he's not bad, Craig, but watching someone who chases that much has to be maddening.
