Braves pitchers are on pace to throw 200 pitches.

what an incredible game so far

Ariel Cohen

Max Muncy up with the bases loaded. He led the Dodgers in walk rate this season with a 15.7% BB%.

Remember when Max Muncy told Madison Bumgarner to fetch his home run ball out of the ocean?

Ariel Cohen

10:10

Rotowear had an instant classic shirt to commemorate that.

Over/under 4 hours 20 minutes for this game?

Ariel Cohen

10:10

Not a bad O/U.

10:11

Max Muncy strikes out to end the inning, leaving the bases loaded. That's 15 Ks during the postseason for Max, most on the Dodgers.

The game Meg and I chatted a few nights ago went four hours. With little drama, it felt longer. This game has drama.

Eric A Longenhagen

Man, 20 months ago Matzek was throwing indoors for scouts hoping for a job offer.

Ariel Cohen

10:13

Muncy's strikeout was a -.099 WPA. Highest leverage event of the contest thus far.

Dodgers have not passed the 50% WE since it was 50%, tied after 3 innings.

10:14

Here is the tense WE graph thus far.

Ack. I just accidentally deleted a chat comment instead of choosing it. It was equated old-fashioned postseason pitching duels to heavyweight fights.

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

10:14

Loving all of these huge WPA plays. Good game sevens are such a treat.

Dodger Fan

10:15

Wasn't the DP higher?

Ariel Cohen

10:15

I meant for the Dodgers. But yes.

to that muncy strikeout i say "ack"

David Laurila

10:16

Bill the cat!

Ariel Cohen

10:16

Any feeling as to which "Balls" MLB is using for the postseason? Seems that we aren't back to the 2018-2019 balls.

Freeman couldn't clear the wall there ...

Ariel Cohen

10:17

Or couldn't clear Betts, I should say ...

David Laurila

10:16

Markus Betts is good at baseball.

Jerome Walton

10:18

% of right fielders who make that play?

Guest

10:18

Where does the Dodgers OF rank among the best defensive OFs we've seen in, say, the last 25 years?

David Laurila

10:18

Right up there with Boston's when they had Betts.

Zon

10:18

Man, this game is nuts. not even half way done, either.

Guest

Mookie is awesome

David Laurila

10:19

Jackie Bradley Jr. is at least Bellinger's equal in CF.

King's Court

10:19

Yes this is coming from an M's fan, but Mike Cameron - Ichiro in the early 2000's was insane defense

Appa Yip Yip

10:20

As a fan of an AL East team I very much enjoy getting to enjoy watching Mookie Betts now.

Luxury Tax Savings

10:21

Mookie has saved, what, 4-5 runs with the three catches he made the last three days? Craziest defensive performance in a playoff series I've seen in a while.

Ariel Cohen

10:21

In fantasy baseball, I believe that Betts should be the #1 pick in standard 5x5 roto for 2021. And I'm more certain of this overall #1 selection than I had been in a few recent seasons.

Creamy

10:22

Given all the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, baseball fans should be grateful to witness an intense Game 7 like this in late October . . .

Ariel Cohen

10:22

Of course, fantasy baseball doesn't consider defense....

David Laurila

10:23

With the caveat that it would make for an even-longer night, extra innings would be fun.

Ariel Cohen

10:24

Still early yet. A number of the NLCS games in 2020 have been lanslides early on.

Guest

10:25

I haven't seen the 14th inning all year but I would kill for it

Ariel Cohen

10:25

What would the extra inning rules with runner on 2nd do to postseason games ...

Floyd

10:26

If the Braves play the Rays who gets to wear their navy blue jerseys?
