Yes.

Grimace

are you getting your free taco this week Paul?!

Paul Swydan

10:34

I don't like the Doritos ones, so probably not.

Meh? Jeets

10:34

After running & re-running the movement data, there's nothing that backs up these claims. Not to say that's case cl… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

Dont know how much you trust Jeff long, but that is something

Paul Swydan

10:34

I trust Jeff Long a great deal.

Ryan S

10:35

Don't think Kershaw should be in the game now.

KW

10:35

There's no way McCugh can be a better option than Giles/Harris/etc even with all things considered

stever20

10:35

and Kershaw looks rough still......

10:35

Just got here, has anyone noticed the crazy strike zone yet?

Paul Swydan

10:35

Yes, many people have.

LegallyEagle

10:35

no way Morrow pitches AGAIN tonight...

Paul Swydan

10:35

Why not?

10:36

He threw 14 pitches last night and 13 the night before.

Ishii

10:36

The FG K zone tool has it looking big but not egregious. I think it's too easy to be picky

Brent

10:36

“False start, offense”. God he’s the worst. At least he could have gotten it right and said defense.

Paul Swydan

10:37

He is the worst.

Guest

10:37

most surprising thing about this game so far?

Paul Swydan

10:37

The Gurriel homer.

stephan

10:37

Not automatically, but might severely reduce the margin for error. Great sliders become good, good become average, and average become meatballs.

Paul Swydan

10:37

Then don't throw your slider.

Marshall

10:37

That pitch aside, Kershaw’s not looking too good.

Paul Swydan

10:37

He isn't.

NtflxnRichHill

10:37

Re: Giles' slider - it's the same pitch it was last year based on movement and velocity

KW

10:38

Why do you think managers are more apt to overreact to relievers struggles (see Giles/Harris/etc) over hitters struggles (see Bellinger)? Would think you would give both long leashes if they carried you all season

Paul Swydan

10:38

Because we pay more attention to it.

Long Live Jeff Frye

Manfred has been so loudly consistent about not monkeying with the ball (at least knowingly) that he's really going to get hammered if it turns out not to be true. And it seems like it would definitely come out, given how many people would have to be involved in the manufacturing process.

Paul Swydan

10:38

Oh yeah, he's stuck now. If he's been dicking with the ball all year and it comes out, it could cost him his job. But it won't come out.

MLB has good lawyers. :-)

HankLloydWright

10:39

That was a joke, sorry Paul

Paul Swydan

10:39

Oh.

Sorry!

Swing and a miss!

twb

10:39

ls kershaw hurt?

Paul Swydan

10:39

No, just not invincible.

Also, side note - the Astros are really good!

David S.

10:39

4 whiffs on 76 pitches so far. Same stuff Kershaw had in game 6 of last year's NLCS. He's hittable right now.

Mike

10:39

Dodgers have said that morrow is Last Resort only today

Paul Swydan

10:39

Yeah, well, how do you define last resort?

10:40

You want McCarthy or Fields pitching again?
