Second bedroom, upstairs, with beautiful yellow and orange trees outside the window

5:26

I share this offense with the spider currently crawling on my television

Tony Womack

5:26

Almost a guarantee that all the new baseball fans tuning in tonight are going to be disappointed with a 2-1 game

Jeff Sullivan

5:26

Not going to lie to you, as much fun as an epic game is I also wouldn't complain about another G1 repeat

Ishii

5:26

Are they doing the weird 20 minute after start time again? MLB app keeps saying game time is the top of the hour

Jeff Sullivan

5:26

It's never ever ever the top of the hour, but they do always want to trick you into believing it is

5:27

Altuve is out! Curve...right down the middle

Danny

5:27

It's fun to remember that earlier this season Hill was the first starter to pitch an extra-inning CG since Cliff Lee.

Jeff Sullivan

5:27

That is actually incredibly hard to believe

CamdenWarehouse

5:28

Hasn't Kershaw done enough that if he went bad then retired, he'd still be in?

Jeff Sullivan

5:28

Probably. But if anything could keep him out, it's an immediately useless shoulder

Tommy

5:28

Why do managers need to wear uniforms?

Jeff Sullivan

5:28

I don't know

It's one of the dumbest things about baseball

Half-inning is over. Solid contact at the end, but fruitless

hscer

5:29

why does houston's ~4th best hitter bat 2nd?

Jeff Sullivan

5:29

McCann and Reddick are lefties and Gonzalez is worse from the right side

Yakaru

5:30

I think the Dodgers should have started Kershaw game 4 and potential game 7, (3 days rest each). He could do that...

Jeff Sullivan

5:30

They traded for Darvish specifically and explicitly so they wouldn't have to use Kershaw on short rest like they've done

Hatzis

5:30

If the Astros win on say, a Gurriel homer, does that change the MLB's approach to suspensions in the future at all?

Jeff Sullivan

5:30

No. He already hit that one home run

AdamZ

5:30

Why aren't Joe Buck and John Smoltz wearing halloween costumes?

Jeff Sullivan

5:31

Actually, Joe Buck dressed up as John Smoltz, and John Smoltz very convincingly dressed up as Joe Buck

By the way, Hill in the first: 9 fastballs, 3 curves

5:32

Another first-pitch swing from Taylor. Feels like he's been doing that *constantly*

Show Hey O’Tawny

5:32

Listening to EW while reading this chat and scrolling through Twitter is a Sullivan overload

Jeff Sullivan

5:32

Thankfully for you I don't and can't tweet while I'm chatting!

Schmoo

5:32

We heard Smoltz talk about establishing the fastball, something McCullers obviously didn't do in his crazy curveball outing. Do you think Hill actually needs to "establish the fastball"?

Jeff Sullivan

5:32

That expression doesn't mean anything

ChatzMcGee

5:32

I know it’s flimsy, but do you have any theories on why Kershaw isn’t as Kershawian in the playoffs? If you had to guess would you say it’s mostly fatigue?

Jeff Sullivan

5:33

Fatigue and luck, yeah. He's overall been good in these playoffs, and in past playoffs he's been overused out of necessity

Will Justin Verlander get a hit tonight?

Jeff Sullivan

5:33

lol no

Tommy

5:33

How many mound visits tonight?

Jeff Sullivan

5:33

More than 0, which is too many

5:34

There's a somewhat generous called strike three for Verlander against Seager. Seager isn't loving the zone these last few games

The Hamburglar

5:34

Does your gf watch any playoff games with you?

Jeff Sullivan

5:34

She watched most of last year's Game 7 but she strongly prefers hockey, which is extremely reasonable

Homer at the Bat

5:35

Must be nice having two bedrooms!

Jeff Sullivan

5:35

If you live with somebody and work from home I don't know how you survive with one
