True or false: this game hinges on good Blake vs walk-heavy, nibbling Blake.

Paul Sporer

8:29

I'd say true

Steve Nebraska

I think I heard on the baseball tonight podcast that they didn't think gonsolin wasn't getting past wendle tonight... So we'll find out if that is accurate soon

Paul Sporer

8:29

I'm eager to see

Antonio Lobo

Who's had the most dominant WS batting line in the past decade or so (1 series)? Every time I try to think of it I remember how awestruck I was by David Ortiz's WS MVP year. But was there a better one?

Dave Roberts

8:30

Gonsolin was great this season. Would love to see him get a chance to settle in

David Laurila

8:30

Ortiz’s .680/.760/1.188 in 2013 was… not too bad.

Paul Sporer

8:30

looool that's insane

David Laurila

8:31

Three World Series for Ortiz and his lowest OPS was .945.

Old Blue Legs

8:31

Wouldn’t Wander be able to help the Rays win this game? Or is it not worth the risk?

Tony Wolfe

8:32

He'd probably be useful if he'd every played before the World Series

Paul Sporer

8:32

Who's he really better than right now?

Tony Wolfe

8:32

Considering he hasn't though, probably not

Paul Sporer

8:32

Making his MLB debut in a deciding WS game

Desperately hope Blake keeps attacking when ahead

Great 0-2 pitch

Snell not nibbling so far

Scuffy Mcgee

8:32

Smoltz reminded us though that gonsolin didnt pitch for 15 days....a month ago

David Laurila

8:33

Reggie Jackson having a five-PA stretch with a walk and four dingers is without equal in World Series lore.

Sam

8:33

That was an impressive inning, Snell lookin' sharp!

Cito's Mustache

8:34

How do you fellas feel about clutch hitting? Do guys like Ortiz actually possess "something".. or chalk it up to SSS?

Tony Wolfe

8:34

I don't think it's nothing, but it's worth noting that in the ALCS right before that monster World Series, Ortiz had an OPS of .427 in 25 plate appearances

Paul Sporer

8:35

I think it definitely exists more than the analytical community often suggests, but it's backward looking as opposed to something bankable in the moment

Antonio Lobo

8:35

If Snell keeps pitching like this, the Dodgers' prospects are Blake

David Laurila

Songs of Innocence and of Experience.

Paul Sporer

8:35

Guys assert themselves like Papi, Pablo Sandoval, but they are outliers

Dodger Fan

8:35

...Snell looks really good...damn it.

sadtrombone

8:35

Good Blake gives the Rays a good chance. Lefty breaking stuff is the only real weakness in LAD's lineup. I forget who pointed it out to me, but once you see it you can't unsee it.

Kwah

8:35

Blakꓘke Snell.

Dave Roberts

8:35

6 whiffs through one

Dodger Fan

8:36

But the grand slam, Tony! (sorry Paul)

Paul Sporer

8:36

HEY!

kdl

8:36

Does clutch hitting feel like the hitter's version of "pitching to the score"?

Paul Sporer

8:36

How so?

Tony Wolfe

8:36

yeah if you're going to only get two hits in a series, that's a pretty good way to use one of them!

Sam

8:36

I think the ability to perform under pressure is something some people may be better at (in any field), but it's probably not enough to put much weight on

kevinthecomic

8:36

Didn't the Royals let a guy make his MLB debut in the WS?

Paul Sporer

8:36

Mondesi, ya

Guest

What would your strike call be if you were an umpire

Tony Wolfe

8:36

a blood-curdling scream
