Seems to all line up. Not a great zone

"Bryant has four errors this postseason [in 13+ games]"--that's the only fact you know. How much does that tell you about his defensive performance: almost everything, a lot, a little, almost nothing?

Neil Weinberg

9:50

A little.

Scott

What's the difference between the gray line and the green line in the win expectancy graph?

Neil Weinberg

9:52

Gray line factors in our pre-game odds as a starting point. Green line assumes equal teams.

9:53

Not sure if camera person was fooled or the wind killed that

Nick Stellini

9:53

I think it was the wind. Yeesh.

Neil Weinberg

9:53

Statcast says .258 xBA

Nick Stellini

9:54

Hot take: Kris Bryant needs to get hits if the Cubs are going to win the World Series

Paul G.

9:56

When was the last complete game in World Series history?

Neil Weinberg

9:56

Last year. Cueto

David

Just out of interest because I don't know this, can Kluber's performance influence those who couldn't choose CY Young wise or are votes cast already?

Neil Weinberg

9:59

Votes already submitted

Ryan W

10:01

So do you try and get 1 more out of Kluber than go miller/Allen for the last 9?

Nick Stellini

10:01

I would personally send him back out, yeah

10:01

Is Lindor better from the left side or right side?

Neil Weinberg

10:02

Basically even splits for his career.

Ryan W

10:02

Over/under 1.5 throws over/back pick attempts with Lindor on first?

Neil Weinberg

10:02

Under

10:03

That play had everything

Bro Charboneau

10:05

I think a Looney Toons short just interrupted my broadcast!

Chris

10:05

What the hell was that play?

Ryan W

10:05

Holy God. That's is crazy

That was fantastic. Can't wait to see GIFs of that tomorrow

10:05

Are there balls hit whose xBA is 1.000?

Jason

10:05

Nick, what was your favourite MLB game you attended?

Neil Weinberg

10:05

There shouldn't be. It's based on similar batted balls. And any modeling they do should account for maximum

Nick Stellini

10:05

Off the top of my head, I was at the recent Mark Teixeira walk-off grand slam

That was a joy

Neil Weinberg

10:06

We need to check with the judges...he back picked on Lindor but it was at 3b

judges are counting it

Judges

10:06

We'll allow it

Nick Stellini

10:06

I mean, Neil, wouldn't you say that a Giancarlo Stanton 500 ft bomb pretty much has an xBA of 1.000?

Neil Weinberg

10:07

I read that as more than 1.000 because I am stupid

Yes, there are 1.000 xBA

BACK PICK

DaveB

10:08

Back pick bonanza!

Neil Weinberg

10:09

this is the theme for my birthday party next year

forestation

10:10

The Rizzo bloop single from 1st inning has 1.0 xBA
