How awesome would it be if teams could move the outfield fences by a few feet game to game? Like, you have a flyball pitcher on the mound? Move them back a few feet today.

Hockey rinks are different sizes. Tend to be smaller, for tough-guy teams, on the East Coast and bigger, for free-skating teams, in the West and Canada.

Hard to see how Gonzalez is worth a roster spot on LAD. They are so loaded. Maybe eat most of the contract in a trade?

Craig Edwards

10:03

maybe, but he would have to agree.

Bill Veeck installed a movable fence in 1947. The American League banned it following the season.

Craig Edwards

10:04

hope somebody is fact-checking things. I'm just going to choose to believe it.

Uncle Jimbo

NHL rinks are now a uniform size. the older buildings with a smaller rink are gone.

I'm joining late - Craig! You're doing a solo chat? Good on you, boy

Craig Edwards

10:06

you've only missed four innings.

Craig I got you....all facts are truth

Veeck told that fence story himself but it's debated whether it was true.

Dodgers have had some very well hit outs these last two games...they should be due for a couple breaks right?

Craig Edwards

10:06

sure, why not.

Maeda up close to 40 pitches. Seems like a lot but you have to figure that he prepared knowing he was likely to pitch a bit.

Craig Edwards

10:09

it is a tough call. I'd lean toward taking him out. any more innings and he might be out until game 6.

woeful SFG fan

Craig (from a few minutes ago), I think the home team should be able to decide if to delay for rain. Their grounds crew know the stadium better than anyone else

Craig Edwards

10:09

this would lead to too much gamesmanship.

Ramblin' Gamblin

10:10

Now official: SABR has made baseball unwatchable. 2 hours = 4 innings???

Craig Edwards

10:10

average it with game 1 and we are fine.

what is the best timezone for watching WS games?

Craig Edwards

10:10

central

The Cubs used to have infield grass so tall that they were playing in a cornfield

Craig Edwards

10:10

story checks out.

Grimace

10:11

why do the astros have a train in the outfield? Doesn't seem very environmentally friendly

Craig Edwards

10:11

Albert Pujols must have felt the same way.

Ed Craigwards

10:11

Fellow Fangraphians......I have a 9 AM soccer game tomorrow, so I must bid you a fond farewell. I will see you for game 4.

Craig Edwards

10:12

best of luck

I don't hate the Dodgers yet, but it seems inevitable that I'll be sick of watching them in the postseason over the next decade. Preemptive Houston favoritism.

Craig Edwards

10:12

they've already been in the playoffs the last decade. they just haven't won much.

10:12

The idea of the Nats not getting Girardi simply because he wants too much money is ludicrous right?

Craig Edwards

10:13

it seems like they got a fine manager. Girardi probably deserved better and he deserves to get a good job somewhere. francona sat out a year before he got a job that seems to have worked out pretty well for him.

Not Dave Roberts

10:13

McCullers gets no more than three more batters, right?

Craig Edwards

10:14

looks like 4.

True fact

10:14

I’ think (not positive) the home team does decide on rain delays if it’s before the game starts

Craig Edwards

10:14

correct, but once the game starts the umps decide.

The Hamburglar

10:14

What does SABR have to do with tonight's length? There's only been 1 pitching change

SABR

10:14

?????? why blame me for Darvish

Say hey kid

10:15

Hi Craig, what's probability against dodgers now?

Craig Edwards

10:16

89% for Astros.
