And I don't have the ZiPS SuperComputer open right now.

9:03

42 yards for Renfroe with the Raiders and then a game tonight!

(Sorry)

Jesse

9:03

My memory of the Arrozarena ZiPS projection was above average regular

Mike

9:03

Max Muncy has a sort of insane career postseason batting line

Sam

9:03

Glasnow is getting hit *very* hard

9:06

IMHO, all the discussions on bunt in recent days are skewed, because NO ONE CAN BUNT

Striking out on a wild pitch is peak Glasnow.

David Laurila

9:07

Per Tyler Kepner: That's a World Series record for Glasnow: 3 wild pitches in one game.

The Raiders also have an AJ Cole. I was super confused the first time I realized this, as it was at the same time I realized they had a Hunter Renfrow. Spooky

Dan Szymborski

9:08

And there's still time to beat it!

Jeffrey Toobin is way ahead of you Dan

Will one of Wander Franco or Willy Adames have to move to third base in the future Rays infield?

Dan Szymborski

9:12

The Rays never stand still as a roster, they'll cross that path when they get to it.

David Laurila

9:16

FWIW: Hunter Renfroe was asked the other day if he'd like to see some of this year's new rules, such as a runner on second in extra innings, and seven-inning doubleheaders, carry over to next season. His response: "I want to go back to baseball."

Hunter Retroe.

Dave Roberts

9:17

looks like Zunino wasn't expecting the ... fastball right down the middle

Appa Yip Yip

9:17

I like bunts because of the discourse

Rave Doberts

“I rubbed Magic Johnson’s head last night and it said we would win the series”

David Laurila

9:18

Rays on the board!

Steve Nebraska

9:19

Terrible route by Betts...

kevinthecomic

9:19

Betts played that into a triple

Hugh Duffy

9:19

A triple from a big slow guy! Exciting plays in baseball! Take that Hunter Retroe!

Mob Ranfred

9:19

“Because of Hunter Renfroes insolence, in 2021 we’ll be having 1 inning doubleheaders, with each inning consisting of 21 outs”

Marnie

9:19

that's the correct response

sadtrombone

9:22

IMO Glasnow is like Freddy Peralta, but even more so. When he's on, he's completely unhittable. When he's off, you just have to pull him.

Dave Roberts

9:22

worth noting that Randy Arozarena has also tied the record for most games played in a single postseason

Mob Ranfred

9:22

“I’m not a monster though. After 10 outs, both teams will get a 5 min break to go pee and have an orange slice. But we’re still contracting the hell out of the minor leagues”

David Laurila

9:24

Meanwhile, I just opened a bottle of Smuttynose Old Brown Dog. This baseball contest merits one (or more).

bosoxforlife

9:25

Why didn't Morosi also mention that if the Rays win Arozarena will also be MVP of both series?

Kwah

9:25

Randeadmeat Arozarena.

BLABB

9:26

How awesome would a un-assisted quadruple play be in such an inning, Mob?

David Laurila

9:26

Too many outs on the bases for the Rays this series. Obviously would have had another last night had Smith caught the throw in the ninth.

Dan Szymborski

9:26

Echo & the Bunnymen's The Killing Moon should be required to be played every time an announcer says twin killing.

JocPop

9:26

kershaw threw a couple 82-83 mph sliders that half inning. smack in the middle of his avg slider and curveball velos. they looked a little loopier too, interesting to watch

David Laurila

9:28

Just saw a political ad on my TV and somehow refrained from throwing my bottle of Old Brown Dog at the screen.

Dodger Fan

9:28

"Twin Killing" is really just what the Yankees do. It's not a K-CS.

Marnie

9:29

"future me needs this beer and this TV"

David Laurila

9:29

Yes.
