And Rizzo for 2 right after.

Rizzo

Nelson

Lindor hidden ball trick!!!

r. waddell

9:19

LOVED that attempted hidden ball trick by Lindor

Andrew

What percent of the time do the 2016 cubs win a 7 game series against the 2016 Indians?

Carson Cistulli

9:20

I think roughly two-thirds of them. I mean, starting at 0-0.

And by "I think," I mean "I think that's what I remember the sophisticated model projecting."

twb

9:20

what are they chanting at Bauer?

Carson Cistulli

9:21

Merely reminding him of his name.

Steven

9:21

Announcers keep talking about advancing the runner with productive outs. That's pretty well-established to be bunk, right?

Carson Cistulli

9:22

Well, two things. One, just getting extra-base hits all the time is better. But two, it's quite possible that so-called "productive outs" might be part of the mystery effect that allows teams to outperform their BaseRuns records.

Lee

9:22

would Drone Strike be an inappropriate nickname for bauer

Eric A Longenhagen

9:22

Not precise enough for that.

Harthan

9:22

Is there a worse trend in baseball than the "Cueto" chant going mainstream

Carson Cistulli

9:23

It would actually be pretty great if all the Cubs fans were cheering "Cueto" instead.

Queen of Lesbanistan

9:23

This inning is really droning on now

Carson Cistulli

9:24

Clevinger up in bullpen.

Which everyone here probably knew five minutes ago.

So the appearance of Andrew Miller is NOT imminent, appears.

9:25

Addison Russell with a 60-foot single to third base.

Rizzo scores.

Cubs up.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:25

I had a very jailbroken 4.00 on Russell there.

9:26

Productive outs > unproductive outs. Also, productive outs actually increase the "Clutch" stat, so they may help teams beat their base runs expectations.

Sonny

9:27

How many chatters would need to submit something ridiculous for you guys to believe it happens?

Eric A Longenhagen

9:27

It's happened a lot already but this isn't our first Slow-deo

Nelson

9:27

Why is Carson doing play by play?

Carson Cistulli

9:27

I have no idea what I'm doing?

9:28

Did that swing look checked to you guys?

Michael J. Scott

9:28

I think he went

Zack

9:28

He went

Eric A Longenhagen

9:29

It did but on the slow-mo I thought it could go either way.

Carson Cistulli

9:29

A good outcome here would just be Baez swinging at only strikes.

Or bunting perfectly down third-base line.

r. waddell

9:30

Surprised Bauer's still in the game?

Eric A Longenhagen

9:30

Miguel Montero is psyched about that bunt.

Carson Cistulli

9:30

Leverage is highest of game so far, I'd image. Bases loaded, only one out.

Eric A Longenhagen

9:30

Ross was just referred to as El Abuelito on my broadcast.

Carson Cistulli

9:30

Although, you can adjust leverage for batter, hypothetically. Ross makes it less dangersous.

9:31

*dangerous.
