Does pitcher WAR include their ability to prevent stolen bases and/or pick runners off?

Eno Sarris

7:06

No: call it the Cueto Rule.

Seager's single spells the end for Dallas Keuchel. Brilliant performance that doesn't look so good in the box score, thanks to a two-run homer that might've stayed in the yard on a cooler evening

When expansion / realignment happens, do you think MLB will make a lot of other changes at the same time? Pitch clock, lower the mound, universal DH, new playoffs, robo umps, etc all in one fell swoop

Jeff Sullivan

7:08

I imagine pitch clock is right around the corner, but expansion would seem to call for a DH rule reckoning

Question guy

7:09

anyone know the odds on this game in LV?

Eno Sarris

7:09

I think it started at +150 Astros

Scott Wood

Kershaw out of the game so he can come back for game 4 & 7?

Jeff Sullivan

7:10

Don't think the Dodgers have interest in using Kershaw on short rest

Eno, what is the temp now?

Jeff Sullivan

save for a possible G7 relief appearance

Where do you like to go for beer in LA when you are drinking, Eno?

Eno Sarris

Sunset Beer company, Highland Park Brewing.

Jeff Sullivan

Literally Francisco Liriano warming up right now

hscer

7:12

so who's gonna be the first to say that Kershaw only forgets how to pitch in the playoffs vs. other NL teams

Jeff Sullivan

7:12

I think the would-be narrative spinners will just move on to somebody else

https://gfycat.com/WillingScaredCranefly ... Keuchel sinker. Someone asked about it earlier. He throws it with a two seam grip off axis to achieve a "one-seam" type spin.

Jeff Sullivan

7:13

I mean, that's basically the whole point

Thanks Lucas!

Everything in the world is selling to you

Barnes out, we go to the eighth! 3-1 Dodgers, and I guess it's bullpen time

Kershaw: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 11 K, 69% strikes

Question guy

7:16

what makes Correa better than either Seager or Lindor?

Jeff Sullivan

7:16

Not sure he's better right now, but I think his superior all-fields power gives him a higher potential ceiling

The Hamburglar

7:17

A lot of people seem to think expansion is right around the corner? You think we'll hear something in the next 2-3 years?

Jeff Sullivan

7:17

I think it's something Manfred wants within the next five years or so

Daniel

7:18

Using Peacock here seems to point to McCullers going in Game 4, no?

Jeff Sullivan

7:18

Absolutely. They were probably already leaning strongly that way

Morrow time. One of the better stories of 2017!

Eno Sarris

7:18

He also likes good beer!

Jeff Sullivan

7:19

Good lil former Mariner

It would be fun if Hernandez just took over third base after running all the way there for the pop out

Jefferson

any of the fangraphs writers religious?

Jeff Sullivan

7:20

Yes

Question guy

Dodgers probability now of getting the W?
