Seeing fans in the stadium surrounding the Bellinger HR makes it so much more dramatic.

4-3 Dodgers in the 7th now.

Cam

11:20

BELLI BOMB

Brandon

11:20

What the hell are these Dodgers players, seriously. Fouling off pitches to survive and then hitting clutch homers.

Creamy

11:20

Tremendous blast

Jeremy

11:21

I like how all the deep fly balls in this game are either shallow enough to be robbed, or mammoth blasts.

11:22

As a Mets fan, thoughts on BVW?

Ariel Cohen

11:22

Few successful moves over what another GM would do. JD Davis comes to mind as his best move yet. Kelenic succeeding would seal his fate as an awful GM.

He may be out with Cohen buying the team. (And no, no relation to me)

Jackson

11:22

That was a postseason moment Bellinger needed given how poorly he has performed in the playoffs (both this season and in his career)

Can we get a wp graph?

Ariel Cohen

11:22

Waiting for the inning to end, but yes, shortly...

Ariel Cohen

11:24

Bellinger's HR had a .243 WPA, highest event of the game thus far. WE now at 75% for LA.

11:25

I did in fact predict that there would be a Dodgers-Rays world series. So I'm 75% of the way there tonight. https://www.rotoballer.com/ariel-cohens-2020-mlb-awards-predictions/75...

11:26

Ignore some of my other predictions, of course.

Joe

11:26

Question: When you say ".243 WPA, highest event of the game thus far" is that in absolute value or strictly positive values? Basically, what was the DP again?

Eric A Longenhagen

11:26

.101 iirc

Ariel Cohen

11:26

Its the absolute value

David Laurila

11:26

That would be a shoulder injury of all postseason shoulder injuries.

Egm

11:27

I really want to see a Braves/Rays World Series, but after 2017/2018 I can’t hate the Dodgers.

Ariel Cohen

11:27

The Astros lost last night, and 24 hours later or so, the Dodgers may win the pennant. Is that karma?

Jamie

11:27

if Urias cleanly handles the 8th does he get the 9th too? Or do we see victor gonzalez/floro/somebody

Eric A Longenhagen

11:29

I don't know, I don't love him facing all these righties in a row. But he's dealing.

Ariel Cohen

11:28

This could be Freddie Freeman's last at-bat of 2020. Freeman is an NL MVP candidate.

.341/.462/.640 for Freeman this year.

David Laurila

11:29

Smoltz has been good tonight IMO.

Ariel Cohen

11:29

Smoltz is a very underrated commentator.

Zon

11:29

Who was it that hurt their leg on a walk off home run when he jumped on the plate some years ago?

Ariel Cohen

11:29

Kendry Morales

Ariel Cohen

11:30

Almost killed Morales's career. Took him a few years to get right.

David Laurila

11:30

People complain about broadcasters way too often. It's not an easy job.

Cam

11:30

When they were showing a replay of the celebrations, I winced when May was leaping off the barricade in the background. Probably should have been looking at the foreground instead. If Belli realy is hurt there...come on, man.

Eric A Longenhagen

11:30

I worry he dislocated it.

Ariel Cohen

11:30

I'm fortunate to have Gary Cohen & team broadcast my Mets.

Cito's Mustache

11:31

This has been one of the best called games of the postseason IMO. Kudos to both Joe Davis and John Smoltz.

Ariel Cohen

11:32

Julio Urias at the moment is the pitcher on record, who stands to win the game. Does he start the 9th inning?

Lzfreak

11:33

Hunch: d'Arnaud homer here

Zon

11:33

Broadcasting, managing and umpiring are all underappreciated and overly criticized.

Flying_Nimbus

11:33

No, take Urias out

Cam

11:33

I think Roberts has to roll with him. His issues this year have been in the first inning, post that, he's really good. If he's dealing, let him deal.

Ariel Cohen

11:34

Amazingly, Travis d'Arnuad has a reverse split.

Eric A Longenhagen

11:34

Urias' changeup is switched on.
