kershaw warming up

Jeff Sullivan

7:11

Two sources! We can run it!

7:12

Watson loses the 2-and-1 call because Barnes dropped it. Ouch

Hal

7:12

Kershaw getting warm? Hell yeah, chaos time

Jeff Sullivan

7:12

Line drive! Caught! Inning over! Baseball is ridiculous!

Mordecai's Finger

7:12

Okay, I follow baseball, I really do. But what in the world happened to Tony Sipp??

Jeff Sullivan

7:12

Got bad

Danny

7:13

Why as Hill so angry to be taken out? Didn't he know the plan?

Jeff Sullivan

7:13

Probably mostly angry to leave runners on the bases

agam22

7:13

Also don't forget you're legally required to call it the World Series presented by youtube TV. Fit that in your haiku

Jeff Sullivan

7:14

This World Series pre-
sented by YouTube TV
Has been quite draining

Pete

7:14

If at this point, Watson doesn't have it, why not just take him out of the game?

Jeff Sullivan

7:14

No real reason to believe you can tell when a pitcher "has it" based on two or three pitches, unless the velo is way down or something

The Hamburglar

7:15

I dont understand why you needed to lift Morrow? McCann isnt a huge threat and it seems odd to replace Forsyth with Utley in the process

Jeff Sullivan

7:15

Just doing everything to maximize all the little chances with all hands on deck and the chance there's no tomorrow

psychic

7:15

Thoughts on Joe Buck, Jeff?

Jeff Sullivan

7:15

Pretty good

Korean

7:15

By the way Roberts managed HIll this year, I think it'd be a case of confirmation bias?

more likely to go deeper if he's doing well in the first place.

Jeff Sullivan

7:15

Technically true for everyone

Milwaukee beerjays

7:16

Would you change alliegences from the senators if the Seattle ice storms were an mel team?

Jeff Sullivan

7:16

You can't just change teams like that

Nick

7:16

Do we blame Andrew Miller for way too many innings by relievers in this world series?

Jeff Sullivan

7:16

Matt

7:16

How do we feel about the strike zone tonight? Seems pretty solid, save that one Hill curveball

Nick

7:16

again, the umpiring has been great tonight

Jeff Sullivan

7:16

A hit! Barnes!

2-and-0 middle-middle fastball

Anthony

7:17

Does Morrow's heavy usage this postseason affect his earning power this off-season? Not like he was the picture of durability before he pitched 147 days in a row...

Jeff Sullivan

7:17

Doubt it. Even Chapman wore down last year and he got paid

The One Armed Man

7:17

I don’t get that double switch. Morrow vs. McCann was a decent matchup, and they preemptively downgraded at 2B and are wasting one of their decent relievers

Jeff Sullivan

7:18

Astros don't have a lefty reliever they like to face Utley, and they might've wanted to try to preserve some Morrow zip for Game 7

Mickey

7:18

You seem more interested in mountains than beaches, but have you ever considered visiting Assateague/Chincoteague MD/VA?

Jeff Sullivan

7:18

Joe

7:19

Baseball is weird. In 2008, Marwin Gonzalez couldn't hit A ball pitching for the Cubs. At the same time, Rich Hill was busy pitching himself out of the Cubs organization because he couldn't throw strikes. And yet, in 2017, they're major players in the World Series.

Jeff Sullivan

7:19

I remember, years ago, when the Astros were terrible, a friend of mine was interviewing with the Astros, and he watched a game with the front office, and they were all making fun of how Marwin Gonzalez was so bad

Surprise!

Fangraphs lurker

7:20

At this point, does youtube even need advertising? Who the hell hasn't heard of them?

Jeff Sullivan

7:20

Who hasn't heard of Budweiser or Coors?

7:21

Utley HBP! We've got some action!

1-and-2 count, too
