Crazy ass fireworks headed straight for the planes I about ducked like on a foul ball straight back to the plate.

Jeff Sullivan

Who's ready to overreact to small samples and create some narratives???

Eno Sarris

5:03

Ah, the fall classic. Love those crisp breezes and the hint of chill in the air that lets you know that fall in on the way.

charles alfred morton is the ace

5:06

which analytics group is this?

Eno Sarris

5:06

obviously not one that understands Kershaw's slider right

Hal

5:07

Eno how brutal is the heat in the stadium? I can barely move a few miles inland

Jeff Sullivan

5:07

Do you ever stop and wonder whether we might know more about Kershaw's slider than he does

Eno Sarris

5:07

saw my friend who broadcasts astros games on the field and said 'you broadcasting these games' like his team hadn't made it.

Jeff,,,,, thanks.

Jeff Sullivan

5:08

You know, Verlander's slider got away from him by mistake. It can happen!

Eno Sarris

5:08

Same time these guys are judging their stuff on results and the bigger slider has better results. I'm betting he didn't like that I mentioned his back.

Jeff Sullivan

5:08

I'm sure he'd prefer to just not have to answer anything from anyone

Eno Sarris

5:08

that too

Kiermaier's Piercing Green Eyes

Before it gets lost in the World Series hype, Hillsborough County has offered a parcel of land in Ybor City (Tampa proper) to the Rays. A stadium deal will still have to be reached, but it's a major development in the saga and a good day for fans of baseball in the Tampa Bay area.

Jeff Sullivan

5:09

Everyone think about the Rays!

You have 2 minutes

Do MLB players have higher rates of baldness? ex: John Smoltz?

Eno Sarris

5:09

I really think hats all the time is bad for follicles but I'm not a scientist.

Brad

Eno: Can Jeff handle the ludes?

Eno Sarris

5:10

I've ... never given him any.

The Hamburglar

Key thing to watch tonight: How often Dallas Keuchel complains to the umpire about his zone

Jeff Sullivan

5:10

Nothing quite like an evenly-matched World Series game to get all the analytical eyes on the periphery of the strike zone

5:11

Loved how Lindbergh researched Keuchel vs. chasers and disciplined hitters, incidentally

Intuitive and bright!
