Dave Cameron

8:18

Oh, wait, I missed the first pitch apparently.

ChatzMcGee

8:19

Remember when CC couldn’t field bunts?

Ron

8:20

Better arm Aaron Hicks or Brett Phillips?

Dave Cameron

8:20

Phillips

CC going slider heavy early.

Mac Gwire

8:21

Lots of 1st-pitch swings

Dave Cameron

8:22

Yeah, I think they were expecting HOU to come out swinging, so he came out throwing breaking balls

Oddball Herrera

8:22

No point in running up the pitch count in a game where no one will hesitate to go to the bullpen

Dave Cameron

8:22

Also true.

8:23

Guess on which batter gets the biggest hit tonight?

Dave Cameron

8:23

I'll guess Correa is the hero.

CC Sabathia

8:23

What kind of contract will I get next year?

Brian

8:23

2/30 about right for CC's next contract?

Dave Cameron

8:23

Brian sounds right to me

Buddy Chaps

8:23

How do you feel about the CC is 10-0 when pitching the game after the Yankees lose? Totally meaningless or just mostly meaningless?

Dave Cameron

8:23

Totally

Stephen Loftus

8:23

Absolutely and totally.

Eric

8:24

Springer is the best interview after an elated heroic moment so I'm rooting for him

David Coonce

8:24

Sabathia or Verlander have any chance at the Hall? Or will the voters cling to wins for another few decades?

Dave Cameron

8:24

Going to write about this for Monday, I think.

I'd vote for both.

Mike

8:24

can we fix the live scoreboard/win expectancy table? it returns an error code tonight

Dave Cameron

8:24

It's being worked on.

Well that was some kind of hole.

Tommy

8:25

How many people at fangraphs are working tonight?

Dave Cameron

8:25

Stephen and I.

I'm sure other folks are watching the game.

Bird just missed that one.

Hannah Hochevar

8:25

Do the Astros change this 1st pitch swing approach next inning?

Dave Cameron

8:25

Yeah, I doubt they're quite as aggressive in inning 2.

Canyonero Driver

8:26

If only you and Stephen is working, who's fixing the live scoreboard?

Dave Cameron

8:26

The fearless leader.

He's always working.

Mattingly's Sideburns

8:26

Gonna be first playoff game ever where both pitchers throw 9 innings on like 48 pitches

John

8:26

Great play by Bregman. Thought that was ticketed for left

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

8:27

Ah great, Dave's significantly ahead of the stream. He's talking about Sanchez slapping a single and I still have the entirety of the two inflatable Orbits dancing.

Dave Cameron

8:27

Sorry!

john

8:28

Is the strike always wider in the playoffs?

Dave Cameron

8:28

No, but zone grows a little bit.

8:28

Nasty!!!
