My little league coach used to wildly spin his arms and yell "go" for go and lay on the ground and yell "stop" for stop. Worked like a charm.

Paul Swydan

12:44

Again, he wasn't looking at the coach there. That part wouldn't have mattered.

Roberts' biggest mistakes were the bunt (and the poor execution of Kike and Turner to top it off) and overusing Morrow to the point where he had nothing left in the tank

Leaving for the airport in 4 hours. About to be a TODAY problem.

Paul Swydan

12:45

Soooooooooooooo Salty.

12:45

pitching in a cooler LA should be better, right?

Paul Swydan

12:45

LA was like 90-100 for Games 1-2. Not sure they'll be cooler?

My girlfriend thinks I watch too much baseball...any suggestions?

Paul Swydan

12:46

My trick has always been to promise the Mrs. full control of the remote for November and December.

BRB bathroom break.

12:48

OK I'm back. Devenski gets first crack at the save.

Blueyays

12:48

Here we gooooooo

David

12:48

LA Tuesday forecast: high 68, low 59. Should be better

Paul Swydan

12:48

Oh OK.

Scott

12:48

Hey, just two walks and a HR away from a competitive game! Odds are good!

Adam

12:48

Seems like Roberts' biggest mistake was Morrow over Jansen up 1 against 1-2-3

Tone Womacky

12:48

Pinch it off, Paul, inning is starting!

Paul Swydan

12:48

Tough crowd.

Jason B

12:49

full control of the remote, or >1 TV like everyone else in America!

Paul Swydan

12:49

Jason B lives a privileged life.

hscer

12:49

November? seems like it could be a pretty big loophole for her on Tuesday

Paul Swydan

12:49

The World Series typically doesn't end in November.

Peter from Pittsburgh

12:49

Roberts' biggest mistake was having Hernandez bunt, mostly because that was the least defensible

Hal

12:49

Kudos to these bullpens for making it interesting, for a second there I thought the Astros might be able to close it out without drama

bosoxforlife

12:50

To everybody who thinks that starters can now be routinely lifted after 4 or 5 innings, this shows that relievers cannot be treated like robots.

Jason B

12:50

It's true. The cats let me have the remote, I gave them the electric blanket. Everyone wins.

Paul Swydan

12:50

Hahaha.

Mike L

12:50

At least Rich Hill is a good bet to soak up innings, right?

Paul Swydan

12:50

Oh ya.

The One Armed Man

12:50

At least there have been enough coaching visits to the mound that Fox is out of commercials

Paul Swydan

12:50

Well played.

Garrett

12:50

Roberts biggest mistake was taking the job and being forced to make decisions that may lead to mistakes.

Meh? Jeets

12:51

The Hernandez bunt was ridiculous because there was no way it was going to be a one run game

Paul Swydan

12:51

Right.

Jose

12:51

Chris Devenski is the hero we deserve

The Hamburglar

12:51

That was a pretty terrible at bat

Don't Bogaerts the Xander

12:51

Devinski looks really relaxed. I wonder if he watched the previous eight innings...

Paul Swydan

12:52

Nice shot of Kenley watching from the bullpen.

Matt

12:52

All I want for Christmas is a Puig dinger

STL

12:52

Paul ... the Hernandez bunt was defensible ONLY if Roberts had Jansen up and ready to go for the inning start. Since he didnt, the bunt was indefensible
