8th run scored by the cubs is the first run scored via a base-hit, all previous 7 were outs or errors
Confused Englishman

Is this game going give some momentum to rbot umps?
Jeff Sullivan
7:51
No more than usual

Re: the dropped 3rd strike call, Do the Nats need to immediately file a protest with the ump or can they do it at any point?
Jeff Sullivan
7:52
Crowdsource! Anyone know?
Mattingly's Sideburns

Too late to protest
Aaron
7:53
Have to protest at the time
John Autin
7:53
Immediately

"Managers can protest a game when they allege that the umpires have misapplied the rules. The umpires must be notified of the protest at the time the play in question occurs and before the next pitch or attempted play begins. If the play in question ended the game, a protest can be filed with the league office until noon the following day. No protests are permitted on judgment calls by the umpires."

WAIt what did I miss what’s wrong with the drop 3rd strike call
Jeff Sullivan
7:54
Baez reached first base and a run scored even though the bat hit Wieters on the backswing. That is, apparently, supposed to be a dead ball
I had never heard of this until tonight. Neither had Ron Darling!

As a cubs fan i think i finally understand how 2003 Marlins fans felt

Can you recommend a completely off the grid hike I can start planning now (but won't take too much lead time) just in case the WS is Yankees-Cubs?
Jeff Sullivan
7:57
Just start walking
Walk across the continent
Garrett

Ok so in a hypothetical protest would Baez be out or would he just be awarded first with runners getting no extra bases?
Jeff Sullivan
7:57
Out
Dead-ball strike

This game is really kind of boring for a game 5
Jeff Sullivan
7:58
That's just the comedown from one of the most insane half-innings in recent history about 40 minutes ago

Does this game compel you to write, or is this more of a discuss on the podcast type of ordeal?
Jeff Sullivan
7:59
I'd probably write if I weren't doing this, but since I'm doing this, I'm not going to have any energy left to stay up for several hours. It'll be a podcast conversation in the morning
Garrett

Jeff do you think baseball( playoffs in particular) is this random or do you think there is something mental with the Nationals?
Jeff Sullivan
8:00
Lots of players come and go. Different editions of the Nationals are different. But I at least can't deny the appearance of things
Cardi Gee

Surprising that nothing has been made of he intentional walk to Heyward, even in hindsight
Jeff Sullivan
8:01
Scherzer was already behind 2-and-0, and he's substantially worse against lefties. Made some sense
Harper double; Nationals have a little bit of life

I love baseball, but good grief these playoff games have been long.
Jeff Sullivan
8:01
Longest per-9 duration in the wild-card era, so far
Elvis Andrus
8:03
good thing everyone has now forgotten about my horrible 2015 NLDS half inning ;)
Hmmm
8:03
How does a multi million (billion?) dollar industry still have incorrectly ruled plays when all you need is some nerds with a rule book
Jeff Sullivan
8:03
Nerds take too long
Garrett
8:03
simple answer to this is increased bullpen usage right?
Jeff Sullivan
8:04
I feel like pace has also spiraled out of control
Walk and wild pitch! It's...8-5
Connecting…
