Also A+ that Ernie is talking about how they need the system they have for tennis
Which is literally coming to baseball next year.
Josh Herzenberg

Frenchy saying "I hope not" about getting Hawkeye (the tennis technology) in the game is especially funny
Haha
Ben Clemens
9:27
Like, wow, you really stumbled onto something there.
Josh Herzenberg
9:27
Great timing
Ben Clemens
9:28
Going to throw a Nats fan friend of mine under the bus here.  His take: "Yeah I think we (the Nats) have a tendency to pull our starter too soon"
9:29
So hey, there are multiple perspectives
Norm

The Cards' bullpen, though, did have the 26th worst "Clutch" score in baseball.  That probably traumatized Schildt during the season.
Ben Clemens
9:29
Yeah I mean, that's an example of a bad decision that analytics would disagree with.
And yet that didn't burn the Cards.
Even so, uh.... Mike, don't do that.

1 more inning for Scherzer or can you trust the Nats plan to get 6 outs before giving up 5 runs?
Dystopian Future

I assume this is where it ends for Scherzer, so we should say that he gave WAS everything they could need to push it to a game five today. Clutch, excellent start.
Ben Clemens
9:30
I too assume this is it. He is a bit gassed out there, and he's been superb.
Josh Herzenberg
9:30
May is in for LAD here
Ben Clemens
9:31
The last fastball he threw was 93 on the gun. He's given everything.
9:33
Call May whatever you'd like; he's one of the most unique pitchers in baseball.
And visually striking.
Josh Herzenberg
9:33
Striking is a good way to put it
Belli Flop

May day!  May day!  The pitch will sink!'
Wow I thought that "May Day" thing was hilarious, ok
Ben Clemens
9:33
Haha my bad, I didn't see it. Took Ruby outside for a quick bathroom break.
(For her, not me)
stever20
9:34
we'll see Scherzer in game 5 right?
Ben Clemens
9:34
I mean I assume he'll be theoretically available but that the Nats really hope they don't need him.
Josh Herzenberg
9:34
Per statcast that pitch from May was 99.9. That's the hardest pitch he's ever thrown
APologies, the pitch before was 100.4 mph
That would be the hardest
Belli Flop
9:34
There won't be a game 5!
Ben Clemens
9:35
He's contractually required to pitch in a Game 5.
So the Cards and Braves have been making calls.
Wire Fan
9:35
I assume Corbin out of the pen in game 5 if they need innings?  Maybe Sanchez (2 days rest)  too?
Ben Clemens
9:36
Yeah this will be all hands on deck. I dug into the data as much as I could to see if he was somehow worse in his relief appearance and didn't really see it
He just got hit
CJ
9:36
I was typing "If Twins don't score, this might be it. It shouldn't be, but given how Twins vs Yankees usually  goes.", Well...
jonnyzuck
9:37
what a tightrope job by severino
Belli Flop
9:37
Kershaw would be available in Game 5
Ben Clemens
9:37
Game 5 is just going to be so hype.
Connecting…
