oh man, Fowler hit one down the line that looked like it might end this but more obviously foul from field level
7:00
and Greene gets him to strike out on a high cutter and we go to extra innings, which is just what this 4-game day needs
Josh Herzenberg

lol

Corey Seager hits a leadoff double off a high 0-2 changeup from Scherzer

I love baseball, love that writing about it is my job, love the fun of the early playoff rounds, but my god, 4 games in one day is too much baseball if you have any kind of non-baseball responsibilities to deal with, like, uh, parenting.
kid's around here... somewhere.
Josh Herzenberg

She's welcome to join us here...

Alright -- dog successfully napping. Sorry about that interlude, guys.
kyle
7:02
who is probable for STL/ATL and WAS/LAD if we have game 5s?
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:02
almost certainly Buehler/Strasburg for the latter.
Fire Ken Tremendous
7:02
Do we know why Beaty got this start instead of Joc?
Josh Herzenberg
7:02
Joc is playing RF
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:03
it's Beaty for Pollock, who's been dreadful
Ben Clemens
7:03
Probably Folty/Flaherty for the Cards series
Alfredo
7:04
So burning Fried as a PR was definitely a mistake, right?
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:04
yeah that was bad, particularly given that he wasn't the lead runner.
Ben Clemens
7:05
I don't understand that at all.
Josh Herzenberg

IBB in the 2nd inning...

7:05
wut
Tony Wolfe
7:05
The Braves probably weren't planning on using him today given how much he's thrown already, but now we're in extras and, well....
Josh Herzenberg
7:05
Nats IBB Will Smith to get to Rich Hill...in the 2nd
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:06
ah, ok

Was that Michael A Taylor in CF? Is Robles benched?
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:06
look, i saw Rich Hill hit a double just this year
Ben Clemens
7:06
Hurt himself in Game Two
Tony Wolfe

There's Teheran
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:08
wow, Hill was Scherzer's first strikeout. Made him throw 6 pitches though
Josh Herzenberg
7:09
In 2017 I was on the field at Dodger Stadium for about an hour pregame during some early work and an on-field bullpen session, before any fans were there. I walked out of the tunnel with Hill and he turned to go into the stands and started running stairs at the ballpark. After the bullpen and everything was over I walked back toward the dugout and Hill was still running stairs

Having to be a pitcher and face Max Scherzer just feels mean.
Ben Clemens
7:09
No joke.
Josh Herzenberg

The hour is a guess - it might have been 50 minutes, or whatever, but it was not an insignificant amount of time
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:11
and here's Teheran, just as the masses have been clamoring for, and he gives up a leadoff double to Wong
Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe
7:11
I don't want to be reactionary, but does Mike Rizzo deserve to keep his job in DC if the Nationals lose to the NL favorites? The Nationals' bullpen has been a dumpster fire for several years now, and it is even more frustrating to see guys like Nick Anderson and Adam Kolarek get turned into gold by teams that can seemingly evaluate talent in a way that Rizzo is...deficient.
Ben Clemens
7:11
I'm not sure I buy this. Nick Anderson cost a 55FV prospect.
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:12
IBB to Goldschmidt to bring up Ozuna, and man, if the Cardinals don't win this then their Devil Magic must not work at all.
Ben Clemens
7:12
Now, Kolarek: yeah.
Alfredo
7:13
I'm watching TNT right now. I assume Return of the Jedi is referring to Rich Hill?
AvatarJay Jaffe
7:14
high-risk play, Ozuna hits a chopper and Teheran gets the force at second, but Wong takes 3rd. Base open, i'm not sure why you don't walk Molina here
going for the double play i guess but that'sdeep enough to probably do it....
and there it is, Cardinals walk off
