Hall of Fame! I have watched almost every game for 11 years and he is so much more than the numbers and the numbers are good enough.

Trevor Gobble

5:07

He's a HOFer no doubt in my mind

as a red sox fan who do you root for in the other ALDS series? The Yankees would be an easier opponent but that would mean rooting for the Yankees

Paul Swydan

5:07

Rooting for Cleveland, and Francona.

I want to see a segment called Schroedinger's Kaat, where Jim Kaat calls dingers from a sealed box.

Paul Swydan

5:08

YES

You think they pull a fast one? "start" Fister for 1 batter, then put in their "real" starter?

Paul Swydan

5:08

No.

My favorite Fangraphs WAR graph is the one showing Dustin Pedroia and Robinson Cano with essentially the same WAR through age 33. I think the Hall really depends how healthy Pedroia stays over the next three seasons.

Paul Swydan

5:09

Agreed, and I'd bet on Cano staying healthier.

Lunar verLander

5:09

Follow up, SHOULD they pull a fast one?

Paul Swydan

5:09

No that'd be stupid.

Gabe

5:10

Play-off Han-ley (clap, clap, clap clap clap)

Hannah Hochevar

5:10

I really enjoy HanRam.

Paccus

5:11

What current pitcher would make the best broadcaster, a la Kaat?

Paul Swydan

5:11

Chris Archer was pretty good last year.

JTT

5:12

A perfectly executed JV curveball shown by a centered camera angel is a thing of beauty

Paul Swydan

5:12

52 pitches through 3 is a good result for the Sox, at least.

Jim

5:13

the dodgers have to be the least believed in 104 win team of all time.

Paul Swydan

5:13

That'll happen in a year where there's 2 other 100-win teams.

Seth

5:13

Stroman for Broadcaster?

Paul Swydan

5:13

Can't say I've ever heard Stroman speak. If you think he'd be good, OK.

jonnyzuck

5:14

i want to see votto and greinke as broadcasters

Paul Swydan

5:14

Votto, sure. Greinke, ... maybe.

this game has been good

Paul Swydan

5:14

Yeah, so far , so good.

Oddball Herrera

5:14

Also that'll happen in a year when they have probably one of (the?) longest losing streaks ever for a 100+ win team

Paul Swydan

5:14

And one of the other 100-win teams has a mammoth win streak, and the other 100-win team has to deal with a hurricane, making them sympathetic favorites.

Bleep

5:15

Adam Jones is going to end up broadcasting at some point

Paul Swydan

5:15

That'd be great, but wasn't the original question about pitchers?

Seth

5:15

Officially a Re-Aggravated knee injury for Nunez

Paul Swydan

5:15

Yeah, I heard that. I mean, we'll see after the game.

5:16

Id be surprised if he plays again this season.

Moltar

5:17

Granderson was born to broadcast. I'd listen to that dude read me the phone book.

Mat

5:17

Hello from miserable England, are you doing a live blog for the Indians Yankees as well? 10.15pm here at the moment.

Paul Swydan

5:17

No, just this one. Sorry.

5:18

A-Rod and Pete Rose are divine doing the post game commentary

Paul Swydan

5:18

I thought they replaced Rose with Ortiz?

Hannah Hochevar

5:18

Alex Bregman trying to take Sale out of the game by any means necessary
