Dave Cameron

Astros really going to kick themselves for these stranded runners they lose.

Post Malone

9:30

How many pitches does Kahnle have in him tonight?

Dave Cameron

9:31

Probably 40-50

TGM

9:31

Given his recent work and Joe's disinclination to let him pitch, what are the odds we see Betances tonight?

Dave Cameron

9:31

Kahnle has a better pitches:outs ratio than Morton, so shh stros fans

K-Man

9:31

Have managers gone too far towards bringing in starters out the pen and their best relievers to protect huge leads? Even Roberts has done it with Morrow and Kenley so far, and he's probably the best manager in these playoffs

Dave Cameron

9:31

Yep.

The protect-any-lead method is leading to guys pitching when they don't need to.

Adam

9:32

Do you think Yankees still have decent chance to win game today?

Dave Cameron

9:32

Of course

Bourque

9:32

Case in point Ken Giles

hscer

9:32

still better than having #3 starters facing 30 batters, take the progress!

Dave Cameron

9:32

Yeah, we're heading towards efficient usage, but new inefficiencies being created.

Post Malone

9:32

Ever been to a WS game?

Dave Cameron

9:32

I have not.

9:33

And here come the Yankees.

Mike

9:33

I mean there are other considerations than leverage, I don't think Roberts would have allowed anyone but Jansen to get the WS-Clinching out for a lot of other reasons

Dave Cameron

9:33

Sure, with the big break coming, that was fine.

Zeke

9:34

Astros should have someone warming from here out...astyoing Bird doubles

Dave Cameron

9:34

Agreed.

druidiful

9:34

Good thing Bird doubled there and didn't kill the rally with a homerun.

deananna

9:34

Greg bird is a good hitter

Rosin Bag

9:34

Bunt here?

Dave Cameron

9:34

Eww, no.

Canyonero Driver

9:34

Castro should bunt, advance the runner.

Dave Cameron

9:34

Eww, no.

ChatzMcGee

9:35

Morton gonna get left in too long too?

Dave Cameron

9:35

Maybe!

ChatzMcGee

9:35

castro missed a hanger.

Deece

9:35

How to bunt; 1: dont, 2: hit a dinger

9:36

Castro should get a hit here, score the runner.

Josh R

9:36

Gut feel now - Verlander pitches tonight?

Dave Cameron

9:36

Yes.

Tom

9:36

Nobody up for HOU is kind of crazy no?

Dave Cameron

9:36

Yep.

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

9:36

Nobody warming? Jeez, why? It's the fifth!

Dave Cameron

9:36

Overly conservative managing.

This is lude-icris

9:36

Castro should ground into a double play here

K-Man

9:37

Honest question: is there a way to delay the chat for ~15 seconds? I am always behind and it kills the surprise
