Jeff Sullivan
6:29
Nothing on twitter is funny for more than three minutes
The Old Buccaneer
6:30
If Gio is on the bench shaking his head he can't be going back in, right?
Jeff Sullivan
6:30
He's pacing around, seemingly trying to stay warm
Pete
6:30
Hendricks up second in the next inning, is Maddon just trying to get him to get one more out here?
Jeff Sullivan
6:30
Probably

6:30
as much as anyone I have seen, Kyle Hendricks can have an inning like that and then cruise for for 3 or 4.
Jeff Sullivan
6:30
He allowed a three-run homer on an 0-and-2 pitch at the letters. He wasn't that bad in the second
Charlie
6:31
1/10 seems low, the glove gives him at least a 1 win floor per year plus the potential to have an above average bat
Jeff Sullivan
6:31
I think Heyward would seek out a one-year deal
The Old Buccaneer
6:31
But Stanton has value even on that contract, right? Heyward does not
Jeff Sullivan
6:31
Stanton's contract is bad
for the team responsible for it
6:32
And we're through three. 4-3 Nats. It's been an hour and a half
Going to guess Hendricks is probably finished, given that his spot is due up
6:33
It's 4-3 Nationals going into the fourth. Gut feeling: who's your winner?

Cubs (44.7% | 105 votes)
 
Nationals (55.3% | 130 votes)

Jeff, is there a place on the site to view the "probability of winning" charts during the game itself?
Jeff Sullivan
Currently 62% win expectancy for the Nationals

6:34
Is Joe Maddon the most overrated coach in MLB history?
Jeff Sullivan
6:34
No. His teams are good
Bill Don
6:34
Who's the worst player remaining in the playoffs?
Jeff Sullivan
6:34
Some backup catcher
Got you on a technicality, Bill Don
6:35
Matt Albers now pitching!
80 FIP- this year, 79 xFIP- somehow
Should be a one-inning bridge to Scherzer
Scherzer is stretching right now in the bullpen
John Autin
6:35
Jeff, where'd you get the idea Cabrera's always dinged up?
Jeff Sullivan
6:36
From tracking his past few years. His slumps are always connected to some muscle strain
mike rizzo
6:36
henricks and gio are like polar opposite pitchers
Jeff Sullivan
6:36
And they will have both lasted three innings. Baseball!
Lunar verLander
6:36
So much for the "Cubs / Nats play short games" trend
Jeff Sullivan
6:36
Every playoff baseball game takes forever
MLB is lucky they've mostly been close
6:37
Quote Dusty: "I was hoping Gio would go longer"
sigh
Dusty talking about Albers going more than one inning
He's due up next inning
What on earth
Frank
6:37
If Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw are any indication, my plumber throws mid-90s with a plus slider.
