Where is the place to track these win expectancy charts?

Why was Utley even hitting?
Craig Edwards
10:50
platoon matchup. I wrote a little bit about here: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dave-roberts-easy-and-difficult-lineup...

I guess it was a good idea for the Dodgers not to give up after 2 innings.

It seems weird that Utley was the best they could do as a pinch hitter there, right?
Craig Edwards
10:52
he was coming into the game anyway defensively, though.

As an old guy myself Utley has a baby face
Elie from LA
10:52
Isn't Utley's defense too much of a liability to try and platoon his advantageous 0-26 dominance against righties?
Craig Edwards
10:52
people were saying similar things about reddick before this game.

10:53
it wasnt over but when hou had a 4-0 lead with 2 runners on their WE had to be what 80%?
Craig Edwards
10:54
it was 89% when Altuve doubled. Down to 72% before the Seager DP. 82% after the Turner double. 85% after Utley got out.

This has Yanks game 6 written all over it.

What’s Utley’s wRC+ in the past three or so years though?
Craig Edwards
10:56
it is 97 against RH

Hard to believe Game 1 would have been over ten minutes ago.

So my friend runs a non profit / cancer survivor org, should I shave my mid-chest beard for charity?
Craig Edwards
10:57
if it raises money for charity, then yes.

Good idea to bring Morrow in here? I know theyre only down 2, but you dont want to blow your bullpen up when Wood goes tomorrow?
Craig Edwards
10:57
you can get an inning from morrow each of the next two nights.
10:58
i mean tonight and tomorrow, not three in a row.

Did everyone who told the Dodgers to give up, give up chatting?
Craig Edwards
10:58
I don't know, although the Astros are still in command here.
Clay-2000 lbs Kershaw
10:59
Do the Astro(naut)s have any ties to NASA / outer space anymore?
Craig Edwards
10:59
I don't know.

The Dodgers win expectancy actually was higher before they scored both baserunners. Seems weird.
Craig Edwards
10:59
can't give up those outs. only so many chances to score.
J Rich

If Marisnick were healthy, think we would have seen a lot less Reddick recently.
Craig Edwards
11:00
possible

Swing at two in the dirt and take one right down the middle???
Craig Edwards
11:02
baseball is hard sometimes.
Stephen
11:02
Why is everyone so anti-Reddick? he was a 3.5 WAR player this regular season.
Craig Edwards
11:03
recency bias
Jstodola
11:03
Will Roberts only bring Jensen in if they are leading?
Craig Edwards
11:04
or a tie. the LI probably doesn't justify it if they are down.
3 and 2
11:04
Craig, can you please expalin all this focus on length of the game, it's the World Series, isnt it?
Craig Edwards
11:06
baseball gets more attention now than at any other time and pace of the game has been a focus for years so it gets more attention now and it is often equated with time of game.
more commercials doesn't help.
K-Man
11:07
Kosch can also give money to charity and keep his beard, I would thik
Josh R

Don't like Morrow here in a potential lost cause.  If the Dodgers do happen to come back they will need to get some big outs from Fields or Stripling
