A-Rod only sac bunted 16 times in his 22 year career. None after 1999.

With cardboard cutouts, you can put in whoever you want!

Everyone in my neighborhood does elaborate Christmas decorations.
I'm thinking of just getting 10 Danny Devito cardboard cutouts.

maybe a hot take: umpires deserve to be yelled out when they blow big strike calls in a playoff game. And especially when they eject players for displaying frustration.

If we can't have robot umps, I'd be in favor of a mechanism connected to statcast that launches pies at the home plate umpire.

Any idea why scoring is at such a premium today?
Tony Wolfe
3:20
because no one is bunting
AvatarDan Szymborski

If you call a strike or a ball in a location called a strike or a ball less than 2% of the time, a pie gets launched at you. And the pies get worse over teh course of the game.

Maybe this game will last long enough so that Fried and Bauer get enough rest and they can come back in
Nick
3:22
And the pies aren't made by a grandma, they're from Perkins.

Re: scoring: were there any weird shadows at play, at least early in the Reds-Braves game?  Noon Eastern is probably the earliest MLB has ever started a playoff game.

Darren O'Day is like 52 years old and he struck out 12 per nine this year

First offense? A light banana cream pie. Second? A dense pecan pie. Sixth? Hot shephard's pie

The tenth pie has rocks in it.

Did the Reds just remove Castellanos for Akiyama because they want to do *worse* offensively than they have been?
Tony Wolfe

Akiyama is batting for Senzel

I haven't heard anything about Bartman. Do you think there'd be more reminiscing about it because of Cubs-Marlins in a "normal" postseason where the games have more time to breathe on their own, or are people just no longer interested in Bartman?

I think 2016 brought some closure on that one

Do sidearm pitchers have typical platoon splits?

Usually more significant splits

Reds were 7th in HRs but 27th in Runs this year; time for Suarez to run into one and bring this game to a close.

All this talk of pie and chili makes me want to throw together a Skyline Chili Pot Pie.  Once the crust is golden brown, top it with some creamy refried beans and let it crust over.  Yummm.
