No idea.

Tyler

2 months without throwing someone out is awful

Joe

8:27

Dave how is your cable ahead of mine again!

Dave Cameron

8:28

I'm using an antenna.

LJS

8:29

Players not on WSroster still get rings, right?

Dave Cameron

8:29

Yup.

Mike M

8:29

The Astros do not have a well-regarded team defense, but they've been very steady executing key bang-bang plays. Preparation or SSS luck?

Dave Cameron

8:29

Both?

8:30

Be interesting to see what Wood's velo is like.

He sat 94 early in the year when he was awesome, more 92 late in the year when he struggled.

Bernie Brewer

8:30

92 first pitch.

Dave Cameron

8:30

Then 90.

8:31

It looked like that hit the dirt to me.

Stringer Bell

8:31

is this worth a replay?

Dave Cameron

8:31

Yep.

Kates

8:32

That didn't hit him.

Well, maybe it did.

Guest

8:32

Ball changed directions

Dave Cameron

8:32

Ground would do that too.

Need a side angle to see if it was dirt or shoe.

Bernie Brewer

8:33

Is it worth it if you're a batter to make a big deal out of any little contact? Should teams be teaching Springer to fall down clutching his foot?

Dave Cameron

8:33

I think if you overdo it, it won't work.

But yes, if it it grazes you, you gotta be a bit more demonstrative.

Bernie Brewer

8:34

I guess you don't watch soccer Dave. :)

Nick V

8:34

It doesn't work in soccer either. You get carded for overdoing it.

Fair line

8:36

90 and going nowhere he wants it to

Dave Cameron

8:36

Yeah, wouldn't call this a great first inning for Wood.

Bob

8:36

Is Smoltz correct here about Wood having phantom injuries?

Dave Cameron

8:36

Every Dodgers starter had some fake injuries this year.

Peter from Pittsburgh

8:38

How could any playoff suspensions happen going forward? The league has said it's unfair to the other players on the team and pointed out the need to dock salary. Surely they didn't just make up a reason to get out of this situation?

Dave Cameron

8:38

Guess they'll codify this after the season, but I can't imagine either the owners or the players really want suspensions to be enforced in the postseason.

And while there's a reasonable case to be made that they should be enforced then, the two stakeholders negotiating the discipline won't want it to happen.

If my child does something wrong I don’t wait until next year to punish her!

Dave Cameron

8:40

If you took your kid to Disneyland and spent $10K on the trip, would you really equate time out hours there to time out hours at home?

Or would you try to figure out how to craft a punishment that disincentivizes the action without ruining your vacation?

Clay(2000 lbs) Kershaw

8:41

Do I have 24 other kids?

Dave Cameron

8:41

Is your last name Duggar?

8:42

My last name is Dugger lol
