Sgt. Pepper

7:28

For those not watching the international feed: Vasgersian with the really premature home run call

Jeff Sullivan

7:28

Verlander due up second next inning. He's currently at 87 pitches

Objectively, he should not bat

Bat Verlander next inning?

Yes (17.1% | 56 votes)

No (82.9% | 272 votes)

Total Votes: 328

Why isn't Smoltz talking about trusting your starters?

The Hamburglar

7:29

94 MPH with 28 LA and only a 28 HP%

Jeff Sullivan

7:29

The Seager fly definitely looked better than it actually was. Just off the end of the bat or something, I guess

Not the best AB by Turner there

7:30

Goes without saying but getting that third run home is kind of important

Attack of the Grey Lantern

7:30

Reddick not getting that run home such a huge inflection point. He's been absolutely terrible

Jeff Sullivan

7:30

Unclutch!

Hot Dog

7:30

Matt Vasgersian's "Santa Maria" home run/anything remotely exciting call is so phony

Jeff Sullivan

7:30

I think it's great but we all like different things

Astros Bullpen

7:31

Objective, we should not pitch

Jeff Sullivan

7:31

Luke Gregerson has a 0.00 ERA!

Hooray, Luke Gregerson!

Parv

7:31

Probability that Hinch lets Verlander bat if he gets out of the inning with no more damage?

Jeff Sullivan

7:31

I'll say 10%

Maybe 20%

Guest

7:31

He shouldnt have batted the first time either

Jeff Sullivan

7:31

Ehhhhhhh that one I don't agree with

7:32

Bellinger whiffs. Good job by Verlander stranding that third run; bad job by Verlander allowing the first two runs

Hunky Dory

7:33

Bellinger looks like the guy who has a permanent spot on the pong tables at your college's baseball frat

Jeff Sullivan

7:33

He has very smug eyebrows

Matt

7:33

Is it a playoff thing or is everyone just homer-prone?

Jeff Sullivan

7:33

Everyone is homer-prone in 2017 and the playoff hitters are great

Zack

7:33

The 5 foot difference between the Reddick foul ball not being a sac fly, even a foul sac fly, man

Jeff Sullivan

7:33

Not at all convinced that fly would've driven home McCann

Ian

7:34

Just saying, there has never been a playoff series in the MLB that has gone W/L/L/W/L/W/W

Chase Buttley

7:34

Do we actually believe Reddick is unclutch now? One of the few players actually one way or the other? It’s been a comical subplot to watch

Jeff Sullivan

7:34

I have no idea, but if anyone is actually meaningfully unclutch in the majors, it is Josh Reddick

Eric Matthews

7:34

This series demands that Verlander bat and get on base, right?

Jeff Sullivan

7:34

Good lord

7:35

Dodgers win expectancy is 71%. It was as low as 20% two innings ago

It was as high as 80% in that last half-inning...

Evan Gattis standing on deck right now

7:36

It's funny -- Verlander seems to be yanked, and his last pitch was 97.4 miles per hour

He's a machine

Very close ball four to Reddick. That's a very unfortunate walk for Watson

7:37

Can't walk Reddick there left-on-left

Connecting…
