Dave Cameron

9:20

Weird baseball.

9:21

Matt Vasgersian still pushing this as a "bullpen game", not understanding Miller can go 2-3, Allen can go 2, and hey, that's the game.

Joe

9:23

So, we know what you think Girardi SHOULD do with CC, but what do you think he WILL do?

Dave Cameron

9:23

He pitches until there's guys on.

Probably 2 guys.

Eddie Vedder

9:24

Indians' plan was probably something like Kluber 5/Miller 2/Allen 2, no? So this isn't *that* far off from the original plan. (Other than the score)

Dave Cameron

9:24

Yep.

Maybe they let Kluber go 6 if he was dominating, but probably 5+ was the hope.

Greg Golden

9:25

How early does Fangraphs go to the 'pen tonight? Lotta live chats for Cameron this month.

Dave Cameron

9:25

This is my last one for a little while.

I'm going to make someone else do tomorrow, then we'll take a break from them for the first parts of the LCSes.

a different matt

9:26

See? Shoulda taken CC out.

Doctor Laptop

9:26

Dave you predicted this exact scenario aha. CC allows a hit, I see the camera pan to the 'pen.

Dave Cameron

9:26

It's not rocket science.

Season on the line, insanely great bullpen well rested; you can't let your SP get lit up.

ChatzMcGee

9:27

Kipnis gonna K though

John Autin

9:27

Kipnis batting 2nd against a lefty has never been a good plan.

Tommy toms

9:27

Is it hard to get staff to sign up for these chats? A couple nights ago no one could do the late game

Dave Cameron

9:27

The traffic on those late games is just not worth the time commitment.

Lachlan

9:28

How many people are in here now Dave?

Dave Cameron

9:28

~600

Zock Jr.

9:28

Think Cora has a real shot at the Farrell's job? As a Sox fan, I'd love that

Dave Cameron

9:28

Cora is 100% getting one of these jobs.

9:29

He might get to pick where he goes.

John Autin

9:29

Wow, CC.

Angel Hernandez

9:29

This strike zone is abysmal.

9:30

That wasn't a strike?

druidiful

9:30

I hope Joe goes to the pen now, he got 4 great innings out of CC.

ChatzMcGee

9:30

Yikes

Phil

9:30

Wow that's a friendly strike.

a different matt

9:30

Locating pretty well, huh....

Lachlan

9:30

Says you Angel

Andre

9:30

CC is getting the strike zone Bauer got game 1

John

9:30

Called strike off the plate...of course he’s never looked better, Vasgersian...

Shaun

9:31

Not a bad zone to have as a pitcher...

Jake

9:31

Its been a wide strike zone but its been pretty consistantly wide.

Dave Cameron

9:32

These are borderline strikes, but this isn't Livan Hernandez or anything.

9:32

Framing yall. Give the Kraken his due

druidiful

9:32

Kluber seemed to be getting those same calls on the side edges, he was just not able to hit them as much.

9:33

Surely there's still the argument that you have to adapt to the zone and protect with 2 strikes, it was a great pitch regardless
