You think Schwarber isn't good if you read the back of his baseball card (or Fangraphs).  Watch him, though, and you beg to differ.

Good place for Turner to help himself to another base.

Big out there.

Love that this has briefly become a Phillies game
RTJ

sorry Dan !

Darvish not exactly the quickest to home
Another Hugh

this game can last another 2 hours if it involves ohtani backing up darvish, fighting off schwarbeombs, and possible turner wheels
Davy Andrews
10:19
Love the "Crazy Train" bumper music.
5 Run Homer
10:19
Two first-pitch outs with the tying run on 😬
Davy Andrews

I didn't love that from Realmuto, especially with the combination of Turner and Darvish.

Trout vs Ohtani one timepray
Joe

this is awesome
RTJ

But the perfect script for a 1 run lead and Ohtani to close it out - McNeil, Betts, Trout eyes

Just joined - is there a place to find Win Expectancy chart for the game??
Davy Andrews
10:22
Yup, all the way to the right on the Baseball Savant menu after you click on the game. Currently 87.1% Japan.
Davy Andrews
10:21
Welcome, Big Eric. I think there's one on Baseball Savant. I'll try and find it.

He makes sure to say DISSEMINATED to keep Smoltz from an awkward trip on the word

This could possibly lineup to have Ohtani vs Trout, 9th inning, one run game, 2 out.
Orioles2024
10:22
Ohtani definitely coming on for the 9th.  The baseball gods demand it...and society will have won the day.

McNeil should bunt for a hit, no joke
AvatarDan Szymborski

The pitcher should bunt, it would be a huge surprise
Nobody would expect the Williams bunt

I think this chat will singlehandedly bring the bunt back into relevance.

4 solo home runs.  This really is like a playoff game!

Homers are just aggressive bunts
Dave
10:24
Were finally at a point where calling for a bunt is no longer absurd.  Kinda ruins the joke

A Trout sac-bunt with two on and none out would be extremely funny, given the circumstances.

"Not full circle because he's done things that make him run circles around the game" is definitely a sentence

smoltz: his heart must be racing when he gets on the field.
me: false, transformers do not have hearts, only engines
Davy Andrews

A dream within a dream matchup.
Dave

Aren't transformers powered by the All Spark, not engines?
