First inning is over! Pretty easy for Verlander. Four fastballs, three sliders

What city?

Portland, OR

Enlightening Round

5:36

*If* there’s a pitchers duel does that make it harder for you to chat through because of the lack of actionable plays?

Jeff Sullivan

5:36

Nope, because the queue is always sufficiently active that there's something to say or respond to

13-12 games just don't really feel like baseball to me...

Jeff Sullivan

5:37

13-12 games are insane, but if there weren't the occasional anomaly, baseball would be dumb. Embrace the random slugfest

5:38

I just want to say that as an Asian american, I was really offended that fangraphs writers didn't criticize manfred for failing to immediately suspend gurriel for his racist gesture. L

Jeff Sullivan

5:38

They should have suspended Gurriel immediately for his racist gesture

Speaking of which, he's greeted by boos, tonight

Sustained boos! Impressive

Still booing after two pitches!

5:39

Still! Booing!

Julius Pepperwood

Jeff do you find yourself having a rooting interest in games like these or no?

Jeff Sullivan

5:39

Yes, mildly

5:40

Gurriel is out of there. Foul pop

Yakaru

5:40

Hill can't sustain curveballs down the middle. Will get lucky 1st time through... early hook for him tonight

Jeff Sullivan

5:40

He tends to throw a million curveballs down the middle. For him it's all about timing, less than location

Zach

5:40

people forget sports illustrated had a cover in 2014 that said the astros would win the 2017 world series

Jeff Sullivan

5:40

Kind of makes you wonder what kind of strings they've been pulling to make this happen for them

5:41

Always be suspicious of Big Magazine

There's a McCann fly out to left that might've left the yard in Game 1 or Game 2

Hunky Dory

5:41

Have you not noticed Giles absolutely sucking for a month now?

Jeff Sullivan

5:41

Of course I have, but I think he's fine and shouldn't be ignored

Ryon Healy

5:42

Talk about me

Jeff Sullivan

5:42

why

I feel bad that these chats are such a chore for the FG staff. They are very, very fun for us. Thanks for toughing it out

Jeff Sullivan

5:42

They're not a chore. They're just distracting, by their nature. Difference!

5:43

At least, they're not a chore for me. It would be worse if I were Paul, living on the east coast with two kids

Gonzalez is out, we're through 1.5. Hill: 17 fastballs, 7 curves

I don't understand why people want Gurriel suspended for this series. What he did was wrong, but it wasn't based on anything he did on the field. A delayed suspension is fine. He still gets punished. It isn't like he charged the mound

Jeff Sullivan

5:44

He did something in the dugout, on camera, wearing the team uniform

Ishii

5:44

Jeff are you sad baseball could be done tonight? Pitchers and catchers won't report for months from now.

Jeff Sullivan

5:44

My brain is sad baseball could be done tonight, but my sleep schedule is ecstatic

5:45

Plus, when the playoffs are over, I can finally write my article about Luis Perdomo hitting four triples

I mean, what?!

Spooky Spookerson

5:45

Any chance they discuss enforcing the rules from 2015 where you can't leave the box? Been happening so often

Jeff Sullivan

5:45

I imagine enforcement will come up again this winter

They've gotten really lax about that

Show Hey O’Tawny

Is your gf why you follow hockey?
